incorporate into your own work.

Assessment Objectives
1. Examine what the word texture means in art.

Top Tips

TEXTURE is the character of a
surface and is both tactile and visual.
Tactile texture is the tactile quality of a surface, such as rough,
smooth, sticky, fuzzy, soft or slick. A real texture is one you can
actually feel with your hand, such as a piece of sandpaper, a wet
glass, or animal fur. It also can be created by an artist by doing a collage.
Visual texture is a visual quality of a surface. It is the result from painting or
drawing as the real texture. Visual texture is an illusion of texture created by an artist.
Paint can be manipulated to give the impression of texture, while the paper surface
remains smooth and flat.
