Hi guys!!
Our topic today is...TEXTURES
Close your eyes and visualize these three fruits: an apple, an orange ( or nectarine) and a kiwi.
(You can also go to the kitchen and take these fruits from the fridge and put both hands on each one.)
Can you feel or imagine the sensation when you are touching them?
Can you appreciate the difference?
You are touching the texture
Textures
The Texture is an external
quality of objects that helps us recognize them, and that refers to their
surfaces.
We can consider textures:
We can consider textures:
- a meadow full of flowers, // - the braiding of a fabric,
- the stones in the bed of a river, //
-the tracks of a tire in the sand,
- the skin of a tiger, // - the grain of the wood,
- the grid of a leaf of paper, //
- the skin of a melon,
-the brush strokes of a painting, etc.
The textures are infinite
and are classified according to their nature.
The texture will determine
the perception of objects, since it provides information about their nature,
and depending on it, they will transmit different sensations.
(A uniform
texture conveys a sensation of staticity,
a texture with changes in size and proportions is more dynamic.)

Textures: The texture is how a material looks when
viewed or touched. It can be rough or smooth. It is used in
works of art to convey different sensations.

Identification
of textures
The
tactile texture
is one that is perceived when touching and observing the surface of objects. We note its relief, which can be smooth or rough.

Visual or
graphic texture
is the graphic representation of tactile textures. Therefore we perceive them only visually

Natural
textures:
found in nature; on tree bark, leaves, stones, or fruit peels.

Artificial
textures
are obtained by manipulating natural ones. We can find them in fabrics, plastics and many everyday objects

In Art we can represent different textures with drawings
Observe these pictures
Try to represent the texture of every surface:
the roughness of tree bark
the feeling of the leaves of the trees,
the hardness of the river stones,
the rough feel of the bridge wood,
the softness and freshness of the river water,
the slippery slope of the mountains,
