The elements of Texture in ART!

April 20, 2020

This week we will focus on the element of TEXTURE!
In art, texture refers to the surface quality of  an artwork.  
Not only is texture how something FEELS but it is also how something LOOKS! 
In 3D art - like sculptures for example we see physical texture
but in 2D art - like drawings and paintings, many times we have to create
the texture of the objects with our drawing or painting tools!  
Texture makes us interested in works of art and keeps our eyes looking for more!!!
Textures are so fun!


First thing- I want you to walk around your home and gather as many different
items as you can that have a different physical texture.  
This is an example of what I found around my home: 


Second thing- Can you label the items you found with a good ‘texture’ word to describe them?
Here is a great list for you to consider with some examples also:
