This document discusses different types of textures, both tactile textures that can be felt through touch, and visual textures that are implied through sight. It poses the problem of how to create real textures through manipulating cardboard. It instructs the reader to create 8 examples of cardboard textures. It also discusses formal and informal balance in design as well as the abstract sculptor Louise Nevelson, her assemblage art style of dipping found objects in paint and assembling sculptures, and how she worked to be seen as just an artist rather than a "woman artist".
