Texture is defined as the tactile and visual quality of surfaces. Textures can be natural, like animal skin or tree bark, or artificial, like fabrics and man-made surfaces. We perceive texture through both touch and sight. Every material has a unique texture based on its tactile feel and visual appearance. When representing tactile textures graphically, we create visual textures using art techniques like scraping, stenciling, and printing. Texture provides visual interest and a sense of volume in relief artworks.

2.  TEXTURE IS DEFINED AS THE TACTILE QUALITY OF THE SURFACE OF AN OBJECT
HOW IT FEELS IF TOUCHED. BUT IT IS SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT.
 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...

Visual
Natural
Artificial

5.  WE PERCEIVE IT BY TOUCHING AN OBJECT.
 EVERY MATERIAL HAS A DIFFERENT TOUCH, SO IT IS A DIFFERENT TEXTURE.

6.  WHEN WE REPRESENT A TACTILE TEXTURE USING GRAPHIC ELEMENTS, WE
GET A VISUAL TEXTURE.
 WE CAN CREATE VISUAL TEXTURES USING DIFFERENT ART PROCEDURES:
SCRAPPING, STENCILLING, PRINTING

7.  THEY BELONG TO NATURAL ELEMENTS, LIKE THE SKIN OF AN
ELEPHANT, THE CORTEX OF A TREE OR THE SURFACE OF A
ROSE PATEL.

8.  THE SURFACE OF ANY OBJECT MADE BY US: STEEL, PAPER,
DIFFERENT KINDS OF FABRICS.
 ARTIFICIAL TEXTURES ARE CREATED AND DESIGNED BY HUMAN
BEINGS FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE TO GIVE A SENSE OF VOLUME

9. USING TEXTURE IN RELIEF ART
YOU WILL CREATE A RELIEF ART PIECE USING A LINE
AND YARN.
PLEASE CONSIDER THE BLANACE IN YOUR ART.

12. COLOR SCHEMES
Color Schemes are a systematic way of
using the color wheel to put colors
together… in your art work, putting together
the clothes you wear, deciding what colors
to paint your room…..
monochromatic, complementary, analogous, warm
and cool.

13. MONOCHROMATIC
“Mono” means “one”, “chroma” means “color”…
monochromatic color schemes have only one color and
its values. The following slide shows a painting done in a
monochromatic color scheme
