TEXTURE
Definition: The surface
quality of materials, either
actual (tactile) or implied
(visual). The term is often
misused to refer only to
rough surfaces but this is
not correct. All surfaces
have texture.
ACTIVITY 1
Identifying Textures: Answer the exercise given in the photocopy
TACTILE TEXTURE is the actual 3D feel of a texture. Tactile means touch. Painters like Van Gogh can use sand in their pant to get a texture
on their painting.
VISUAL TEXTURE refers to the illusion of the surface's texture. It is what tactile texture looks like (on a 2D surface). The textures you see
in a photograph are visual textures. No matter how rough objects in the
photograph look, the surface of the photograph is smooth and flat.
