This document discusses textures in art. It will teach about different types of textures including rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky and soft textures. Tactile textures are perceived through touch, while visual textures represent tactile textures using graphic elements. Natural textures come from nature while artificial textures are man-made. Artists use textures in their works to imitate reality, express emotions, or create imaginary worlds. Learners will practice creating textures using materials like paint, paper, beans and fabric or techniques like painting, drawing, stenciling, collage and transforming existing artworks.

1. TEXTURES

2. We are going to
 Learn about textures
 Know different types of textures
 See textures in Art Creation
 Learn different techniques to work with
textures
 Practise using ICT resources
 Represent an Artwork using textures

3. TEXTURE
 Everything has a texture or a surface.
 Texture can be:
 Rough
 Bumpy
 Slick
 Scratchy Bee ceiling
 Smooth
 Silky
 Soft
Wool fabric
 Prickly
 ... The list is endless!!

4. Types of textures
 Tactile
 Visual
 Natural
 Artificial

5. Tactile texture
 We perceive it by touching an object.
 Every material has a different touch, so it is a
different texture.

6. Visual texture
 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. Natural textures
 They belong to natural elements, like the skin
of an elephant, the cortex of a tree or the
surface of a rose petal.

8. Artificial textures
 The surface of any object made by us: steel,
paper, different kinds of fabrics...

9. Textures in Art Creation
 Artists use textures in their artworks

10. Textures in Art Creation
 They use different types of textures
depending on their style or the period of Art
History they belong to.
Picasso – Three musicians
Münch – The scream Klimt – Tree of life

11. Textures in Art Creation
 Sometimes, they want to imitate the reality
A foggy day The sea
A wooden floor

12. Textures in Art Creation
 Sometimes, they want to trasmit emotions
and expressivity: strength, softness,
warmness...

13. Textures in Art Creation
 And sometimes they want to create things
that don’t exist, or symbolic images
Pollock – Number 8

14. How can we get textures?
 Using drawing material and art procedures:
Tempera
Wax crayons
Coloured pencils watercolours

15. How can we get textures?
 But also using any type of material
Different kinds
of paper
Beans and legumes
Coloured sand
fabric

16. Techniques to create
textures

17. Painting and drawing
 Using dots, lines and shapes changing
materials.
 Spattering the painting using a toothbrush
 Blowed painting using a straw.
 Using the photocopier.

18. Scrapping

19. COLLAGE WITH TEXTURES

20. Stencilling

21. Activities: Practising with
textures
1. Web pages
 http://www.jacksonpollock.org/
 Collage Machine 1.0
 Remix, interactive collage
 Collage maker

22. Activities: Practising with
textures
2. Transforming Artworks
 Choose an artwork and search for
information about its autor and art style.
 Transform it using art procedures to create
texture effects: scrapping, collage, painting
with different materials (tempera, wax
crayons...)
 The result must be something like this:
