THE TEXTURES

Definition

Physical Texture is what you feel when you touch the surface of something.

Visual Texture is what you make when you draw, paint, or sculpt the surface of something.

Texture is one of the elements of art.

Other elements of art - like line, value, and color - can be used to make texture!

Textures classification:

Tactile vs Visual

The visual textures are perceived by sight, but also by touch.

Visual are the textures perceived only by the sight.

a Naturals vs artificial

Naturals textures are offered by bodies and elements from nature, like the bark of a tree, the surface of the sand, the print of a leaf.

Artificial textures are in the objects made by humans: the texture of the wall, the flip of a coin, the surface of a tennis ball.

Geometrics vs organics

Geometrics: Textures are called geometric if the distribution of their elements is made geometrically. For example: the drawing of the floor pavement, the drawing that presents the wrapping paper, the drawing of some curtains ...

Organic: The textures are called organic if the distribution of their elements is governed by the laws of nature, regardless of whether they have been manipulated by man. For example, a bar of soap, the appearance of a sponge, marble shapes ...
