2

• Study vocabulary!
• Texture is the element of art that refers to how
  things feel, or look as if they might feel if
  touched.
• We perceive the texture of an object with 2 of
  our senses, touch vision.

3

• 2-D patterns created by repetition of lines
  shapes are invented textures.
• Every surface is really an arrangement of light
  dark values.
• Artists rely on the texture memories of the
  viewers who will see their works of art.

4

• By adding various materials to the surface of
  their canvases, artists add real texture to their
  work.
• By using different fibers in their work, weavers
  control the texture of their creations.
• There are 2 kinds of texture simulated
  invented.

5

• Simulated texture imitates real texture.
• Invented textures are 2D patterns created by the
  repetition of line shape.
• Rough textures reflect light unevenly creating
  irregular patterns of light shadow.

6

• Smooth textures reflect light evenly.
• The trompe-loeil painters were called the
  masters of visual texture because they depicted
  all the objects in sharp focus with great care,
  coping every color value pattern of every
  surface exactly.

7

• Four methods used to add texture are collage
  (adding bits pieces of textured paper or
  fabric), Frottage (placing freshly painted canvas
  over a raised texture scraping across it.),
  Grattage (Scratching into wet paint with a tool),
  Decalcomania (paint is forced into random
  textured patterns).

8

• A matte surface reflect soft dull light.
• A shiny surface reflects light so brightly that
  it seems to glow.
• Appliqué can enable you to vary texture in an art
  work by using an assortment of fabrics with
  different textures there by creating contrast
  emphasis in the design.
