Lesson 1: implied texture excerise
Duration of Days: 2
Lesson Objective
Students will demonstrate how to create the illusion of three-dimensional texture on a two-dimensional surface using value, highlights, and specialized mark-making.
Students will study
Rough Textures: High contrast, jagged edges, and deep shadows (e.g., a crumpled piece of paper)vs. Soft Textures: Low contrast, blurred edges, and gradual gradients (e.g., silk or a cloud).
Do all textures look alike? Would we draw all textures the same?
How does pattern and value work with texture?
Visual Texture (Implied Texture)

Tactile/Actual Texture Physical
textured surface/Surface Quality:
Tactile Characteristics for example some of the words listed below:
(Rough/Coarse: Gritty, sandpapery, bumpy, jagged, prickly.
Smooth: Polished, glassy, slippery, silky, glossy.
Soft/Hard: Fluffy, plush, furry, fibrous, metallic, stony, rigid.
Wet/Dry: Slimy, oily, sticky, parched, powdery etc.).
VA:Cr2.1.HS1: Experiment, plan, and make works of art that explore a personally meaningful theme or concept.
VA:Re7.1.HS1: Hypothesize ways in which art influences perception and understanding of human experiences.
The connection would be in the use of vocabulary. You may need to choose the most precise adjective (e.g., austere, intricate, stark) to describe a building's facade or a painting's surface based on clues in the text.
A passage might describe the "tactile" or "impasto" qualities of something.
Students will complete a texture excerise For example students will particpate in creating their own texture library thwich demonstrates the study of various implied and actual textures.
Purpose: To stop students from worrying about "drawing well" and focus entirely on fouling the eye with texture.
DOK Level: Level 2 (Skills and Concepts). Students are applying the concept of positive/negative space to a physical arrangement.
Although there are many real world connections to the elements of art; texture can be tied to a Culture through geography of a place. Artists has historically used local materials to create textures that ground their work in a specific heritage.
Texture in art is much more than just how a surface "feels." When we look at it through a cultural lens, texture becomes a language that communicates history, social status, and spiritual beliefs
Some misconceptions maybe that all texure is 3-d or that texture only applies to pieces of art that are 3-d.
advanced students can study the difference between various implied textures for example
shiny Textures: Extreme contrast with "hot" white highlights sitting directly next to deep blacks (e.g., chrome or glass).
Where students able To "fool" the viewer into believing that a drawing has a feeling of texture.
Did student understand that texture is actually just a pattern of tiny highlights and shadows.
paper, pencil, charcoal, erasers, objects or slides that show texture.
