Element of Texture

 

Element of Texture

Texture is an element of design that defines the surfaces of shapes and forms. Texture that you feel with your fingers is called tactile while texture that the artist recreates on a flat surface is called visual texture. Tactile texture is three-dimensional because it has height, width and depth.

 

Rubbing

A rubbing is a reproduction of the texture of a surface created by placing a piece of paper or similar material over the subject and then rubbing the paper with something to deposit marks, most commonly charcoal or pencil but also various forms of blotted and rolled ink, chalk, wax, and many other substances.

                                                                                                                                      

  

Printing/Stamping

Stamping is a simple but highly effective way of making prints and patterns on fabric or papper. Stamping helps to apply paint in unique designs accurately the same way many times over.
