TEXTURE IS DEFINED AS THE TACTILE QUALITY OF THE SURFACE OF AN OBJECT

HOW IT FEELS IF TOUCHED. BUT IT IS SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT.

THE TEXTURE IS THE VISUAL QUALITY AND TACTILE SURFACES ALL AROUND US.

EACH SURFACE IS COMPOSED OF VARIOUS MATERIALS AND CAN BE SMOOTH,

ROUGH, SOFT, ETC...

Tactile

Visual

Natural

Artificial

WE PERCEIVE IT BY TOUCHING AN OBJECT.

EVERY MATERIAL HAS A DIFFERENT TOUCH, SO IT IS A DIFFERENT TEXTURE.

WHEN WE REPRESENT A TACTILE TEXTURE USING GRAPHIC ELEMENTS, WE

GET A VISUAL TEXTURE.

WE CAN CREATE VISUAL TEXTURES USING DIFFERENT ART PROCEDURES:

SCRAPPING, STENCILLING, PRINTING

THEY BELONG TO NATURAL ELEMENTS, LIKE THE SKIN OF AN

ELEPHANT, THE CORTEX OF A TREE OR THE SURFACE OF A

ROSE PATEL.

THE SURFACE OF ANY OBJECT MADE BY US: STEEL, PAPER,

DIFFERENT KINDS OF FABRICS.

ARTIFICIAL TEXTURES ARE CREATED AND DESIGNED BY HUMAN

BEINGS FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE TO GIVE A SENSE OF VOLUME

TACTILE TEXTURES HAVE RELIEF, 3-D

CHARACTERISTICS THAT YOU CAN FEEL.

WE PERCEIVE IT BY TOUCHING AN OBJECT.

TACTILE WOULD BE A 3D VERSION, A

TEXTURE THAT YOU COULD ACTUALLY

FEEL.

PATTERNS PAINTED ON THE WALL OR

CEILING MAY NOT BE 3-D, BUT AS FAR AS

THE EYE IS CONCERNED, THEY ARE JUST AS

REAL AS TACTILE TEXTURES

WE CAN CREATE VISUAL TEXTURES USING

DIFFERENT ART PROCEDURES: SCRAPPING,

STENCILLING, PRINTING

VISUAL TEXTURE WOULD BE SOMETHING

2D, SOMETHING THAT IS DRAWN OR PAINTED

TO LOOK LIKE A TEXTURE
