The document discusses textures in terms of visual and tactile qualities, categorizing them into natural and artificial textures. It describes various techniques for creating textures, such as frottage, printing, and scratching, highlighting both visual and tactile textures as essential elements in art and design. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of texture in organizing space and creating depth, rhythm, and balance.

1. Textures
LES TEXTURES

2. Textures that are
• The texture is the visual quality and tactile surfaces all around us. Each
surface is composed of various materials and can be smooth, rough, soft,
etc. ...

3. Natural Textures
• Natural textures are those we can find in nature. As the bark of a
tree, stones, flower petals etc. ...

4. Artificial Textures
• Artificial textures are those that are made ​by humans.

5. Visual Textures
•
•
visual textures are those that are sometimes invented as a support plan or are
imitations of the real aspect of surfaces.
Called visual texture that is seen mainly through the eyes and is sometimes
only noticeable to the touch.
•
Procedures and techniques
•
Frottage: This technique involves placing sheets of paper on various rough
surfaces with relief and rub each sheet with pencil, crayons, colored
pencils, etc. ..
Prints: a stamp buffer consists of ink on a surface. It is used as a buffer
sponge, crumpled paper, fabric, cardboard ..
•
•
Scratching: this technique is to scrape a surface previously painted. On a rigid
surface is painted with tempera paint, acrylic, wax, soft, etc. ... Then scrape
the surface with a rigid instrument (punches, scrapers, blades ...) with
different types of strokes linear

7. Tactile Texture
•
•
Tactile textures perceived through sight and touch.
Textures are outgoing and incoming, they are three-dimensional, with volume.
•
•
Procedures and techniques
There are many ways to get tactile textures using materials that can be modeled.

8. Textures Organize Space
The texture is composed of many elements similar or identical to
a similar distance and distributed in a two-dimensional surface
of low relief.
• Order
Balance
• Depth
rhythm and movement
