1. TEXTURES

2. We are going to
 Learn about textures
 Know different types of textures
 See textures in Art Creation
 Learn different techniques to work with
textures
 Practise using ICT resources
 Represent an Artwork using textures

3. TEXTURE
 Everything has a texture or a surface.
 Texture can be:
 Rough
 Bumpy
 Slick
 Scratchy Bee ceiling
 Smooth
 Silky
 Soft
Wool fabric
 Prickly
 ... The list is endless!!

4. Types of textures
 Tactile
 Visual
 Natural
 Artificial

5. Tactile texture
 We perceive it by touching an object.
 Every material has a different touch, so it is a
different texture.

6. Visual texture
 When we represent a tactile texture using
graphic elements, we get a visual texture.
 We can create visual textures using different
art procedures: scrapping, stencilling,
printing...

7. Natural textures
 They belong to natural elements, like the skin
of an elephant, the cortex of a tree or the
surface of a rose petal.

8. Artificial textures
 The surface of any object made by us: steel,
paper, different kinds of fabrics...

9. Textures in Art Creation
 Artists use textures in their artworks

10. Textures in Art Creation
 They use different types of textures
depending on their style or the period of Art
History they belong to.
Picasso – Three musicians
Münch – The scream Klimt – Tree of life

11. Textures in Art Creation
 Sometimes, they want to imitate the reality
A foggy day The sea
A wooden floor

12. Textures in Art Creation
 Sometimes, they want to trasmit emotions
and expressivity: strength, softness,
warmness...

13. Textures in Art Creation
 And sometimes they want to create things
that don’t exist, or symbolic images
Pollock – Number 8

14. How can we get textures?
 Using drawing material and art procedures:
Tempera
Wax crayons
Coloured pencils watercolours

15. How can we get textures?
 But also using any type of material
Different kinds
of paper
Beans and legumes
Coloured sand
fabric

16. Techniques to create
textures

17. Painting and drawing
 Using dots, lines and shapes changing
materials.
 Spattering the painting using a toothbrush
 Blowed painting using a straw.
 Using the photocopier.

2. Transforming Artworks
 Choose an artwork and search for
information about its autor and art style.
 Transform it using art procedures to create
texture effects: scrapping, collage, painting
with different materials (tempera, wax
crayons...)
 The result must be something like this:
