THE NEXT ELEMENT IS TEXTURE
Textiles & Lines • Textiles show lines in the weave of the fabric • More seen when the fabric is loosely woven
Texture • The surface quality of an object or item • Tactile • How the object feels to the touch • Can feel the variation in the surface • Visual • An illusion - how the object appears to feel • Applied using line, color, & shading
Real Texture • is the actual texture of an object
Implied Texture • where something is made to look like a texture it isn’t
The Effects of texture: • Visual/Tactile • Light • Informal/Formal • Size
Visual/Tactile • Visual—the appearance of a surface • Tactile—the feel of a surface • Audible—the sound a surface makes when rubbed
The effects of LIGHT • Light affects the appearance of texture by: • Shiny textures reflect more light and appear brighter • Rough textures reflect little light thus they appear darker
Informal and Formal Texture • Rough, heavily textured walls are generally informal • Shiny, refined, smooth textures are characteristic of formal interiors
Size: • Heavily textured walls will make a room appear smaller. • Walls with little to no texture will make a room appear larger.
Textures affect us in many ways: • Everything we touch evokes a physical response (hard, soft, rough smooth, etc…) • Texture affects sound qualities • Texture affects the care and upkeep of an object • Texture is a source of beauty and character
