Texture

= = =TEXTURE: = All the thing that soround us has texture. It an be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly, the are so many dieffrents types that you can even imagine.

=TYPES OF TEXTURE: = There are two types of texture, tactile textures and visual textures. The artist can the texture as he wants, he can also mix them to created something more interesting like color with short or choppy brushstrokes. In the nature it also exits some materials that can be rough and smooth it depends of the treatment you give to them like the granite or concrete.

=Physical: = Also known as actual texture or tactile texture, are the actual variations upon a surface. This can include, but is not limited to, fur, wood grain, sand, smooth surface of canvas or metal, glass, and leather. It differentiates itself from visual texture by having a physical quality that can be felt by touch. Specific use of a texture can affect the smoothness that an artwork conveys. For instance, use of rough surfaces can be visually active, whilst smooth surfaces can be visually restful.

=Visual: = Is the illusion of having physical texture. Every material and every support surface has its own visual texture and needs to be taken into consideration before creating a composition. As such, materials such as canvas and watercolour paper are considerably rougher than, for example, photo-quality computer paper and may not be best suited to creating a flat, smooth texture. Photography, drawings and paintings use visual texture both to portray their subject matter realistically and with interpretation. Texture in these media are generally created by the repetition of shape and line.

Some artists apply color with short, choppy brushstrokes to create rough texture. Others prefer hard, cold, and smooth textures. Some materials, such as granite, can be both rough and rocky, or smooth and polished. Coarse, scaly textures can be found on certain animals like lizards, and artists sometimes try to copy those type of textures working with different materials.

=WHAT IS IT THAT TEXTURE DESCRUBES OF AN OBJECT? = The texture describes the surface (roughness or smoothness) of an object. It can also happen that a paint or and sculpture may not have the same visual texture than te tactual one because sometime the artist copy some kind of texture but at the end ist joust a paint or even a paper.

=HOW CAN TEXTURE INFLUENCE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A SPACE? = The texture can change a paiting in a dramatic way and it can make it feel more realistic. you can make a tridimesional texture or even highlight some point of the room by giving a different texture like something natural or maybe something more modern or industrial.

=WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF TEXTURE IN ARCHITECTURE? = I think the most important thing of texture is that it can divide spaces, giving them an interesting touch if you use the right texture maybe in some wall or in the furniture you´re using in. Also texture give you Scale, it can accentuate a plane or also can reduce the scale of a wall by increasing the visual ewight of it because of it texture.
