- Domains for Visual language:
- Form
-Texture
- Color;
Procedure:
Students will handle different
materials and media in order to
create different textures. To this
purpose you may use various
procedures such as:
- grattage and frottage,
impression
- intensity, incision, texturing,
thickness, grading, minimum

motion, gesture;
- density, transparency, color,
tone, gradation;
Process
Tasks:
1st- Starting point
Introduction to the topic - textures
Brief explanation on what is a
texture, what types exist, and their
passage to the realm of artistic
languages through manipulation of
different materials and media.
2nd- Exploration / creating textures
- Through the manipulation of
different materials and supports
students should explore and create
different textures through processes
used by artists such as frottage,
grattage, dripping, printing * among
others.
- The result will result in the creation
of a rich gallery of very different
results, suggestive and visually
attractive.
3rd - Development of a collage with
textures created
-From the textures created in the
first part of the lesson, students
develop a collage, whose theme is
Types of interaction:
Organization of students into
small working groups (6 students);
Individual work
Explanation of the various
processes by the teacher
Students analyse of the
results.
Individual work

3. the landscape.
Resources / Materials
Supports and materials:
Acrylic paints, watercolours, salt, bleach, colour pencil, oil pastel on
cardboard and different kinds of roles;
Scissors, x-act, glue
* Glossary delivered to students
Assessment
Analysis of the final result: exhibition of the works.
*The grattage is a technique that derives directly from frottage. It is
obtained by applying, on a support of layers of a material opaque pictorial,
for example, gouache, wax, oil pastel, which scraping with a spatula or
row markers according to the expressions and intended effects.
In frottage the artist uses a pencil or other drawing tool and makes a
"friction" over a textured surface. The design can be left as is or can be
used as a basis for improvement.
In printing ink is transmitted from one form to a support.
