The document discusses the concept of texture, defining it as the external appearance of materials and objects around us. It categorizes textures into natural and artificial, further distinguishing them as visual (perceived by sight) and tactile (perceived by touch). Examples of both types of textures are provided, along with creative exercises to explore and represent textures artistically.

2. What is the texture?
We identify texture as the external appearance of
the materials, objects or things that surround us. We
can discover textures in tree barks, fruit peels,
stones, walls, walls, metals, furniture ...

3. Especially striking are those of the skins of some animals
because of their shape and color. They transmit softness
(mink, ermine) or hardness (crocodile, elephant ...). We
discover texture ourselves when we feel skin, hair or clothing.

The textures, by their ORIGIN can be natural or artificial.
Each in turn can be smooth or rough.

7. Attention: according to the sense used in their perception,
the textures are divided into visual textures and tactile
textures.

8. Visual textures
We see them on the surfaces and we don't have to touch
them. They are the printed textures that mimic sand, hairs,
rocks or metals.

9. Tactile textures
They are those that can be perceived through touch. The
analysis performed by the eye on perception is reaffirmed
through touch.

10. Rubbing textures creation
exercise:
Divide the pad sheet into
several squares and look
for surfaces that have relief
to rub them with colored
pencils or HB pencil
frottage
technique

11. GRAPHICS TEXTURES
Divide a sheet of your
sketchbook into squares. In
