Lesson 3: texture project

How is actual different from implied texture?
When would an artist use implied texture?
When would an artist use real/ actual texture?
How do they look different?
Does the lement of value effect actual texture as much as it effects implied testure? what about patterns?

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.

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. For this project the teacher will pick a specic cultural relevance to based the project on.

Texture is often treated as the "straightforward" element of art, but that simplicity leads to some common misunderstandings. For advanced artists, unlearning these misconceptions is usually what bridges the gap between a "craft project" and a "fine art piece."

Some misconceptions maybe that all texure is 3-d or that texture only applies to pieces of art that is 3-d.

Another misconception is that "texture" means "roughness." If a surface is perfectly smooth or glassy, it has "no texture."

Advanced students can be challenged to use one material to mimic the physical properties of another. This requires a high level of technical mastery over their medium.

Students will complete a project based about  actual texture or implied texture. Can the student replicate the texture of the object and fool the viewers eye regardless if it is implied or actual texture being applied.

paper, pencil, charcoal, erasers, objects or slides that show texture and objects for students to touch or use in excerise ofr example a leaf or a piece of bark.
