Texture is an experience we always have with us. Because whenever we touch something, we can feel its texture. Texture is unique among the other art elements. Texture is the surface quality, or feeling, of an object and its smoothness, roughness, softness, etc.
Texture has two types, tactile and visual. Tactile means, of or connected to the sense of touch, so a tractile texture is the actual feel of an object in 3D.
Visual texture is the illusion of the surface of the object's texture. And it can visualise what a tactile texture look like in 2D. Texture in photographs are examples of visual textire. No matter how rough the objects in the photographs look, the surface of the photograph is smooth and flat.
There are 4 types of textures:
-Actual texture
-Simulated texture
-Abstract texture
-Invented texture
Actual texture is the real thing. The surface of an object can be expreienced through the sense of touch. We often descibe objects that are smooth, rough, soft, hard, fuzzy, silky, etc.
Simulated texture means that the surface of an object looks real, but in fact, it isn't. That's why it's called simulated texture.
Abstract textures usually display some hint of the original texture, and has been modified to suit the artist's particular needs.
Invented texture is, well, invented. It can be made up by artists' imagination, and it is not simulated or taken from real-world textures. Invented textures created by artists can be seen in abstract or non-objective artworks.
There are 3 ways to create texture:
1. Folding paper
2. Rubbing
3. Stamping
There may be more than 3 ways to create textures; just be creative, use your imagination and think outside the box.
