This document defines and describes different types of textures. It discusses natural and artificial textures, tactile and visual textures. Tactile textures can be perceived through touch while visual textures are two-dimensional. The document also outlines several techniques for creating textures, including frottage, spattering, printing, collage, and scratchboarding. Artists use textures to add expression and visual interest to their works.

TEXTURE
1.Definition
Texture is the visual and tactile quality of surfaces due to the material structure of the object. It can transmit different visual and tactile sensations. Artists use textures as another plastic element to reach more expressivity in their works.
2.Types of textures according to their origin
•NATURAL TEXTURES: those that can be found in nature. •ARTIFICIAL TEXTURES: those manually or mechanically elaborated by man.
2.Types of textures according to their dimension
TACTILE TEXTURES: •We can perceive them through the sense of touch. They have the appearance of a three- dimensional relief. •In plastic representation - painting or sculpture-, we can perceive a lot of tactile effects combining different materials or making surfaces with the relief we want.
VISUAL TEXTURES: •We perceive visual textures only with our sight. They are strictly two-dimensional. •We also call them graphic textures, because they are photographs or representations on paper or on other materials.
3. Techniques for creating textures
Frottage Frottage is a technique that creates different textures by rubbing a drawing tool (graphite pencil, charcoal or coloured pencil) on to a sheet of paper placed on top of a rough surface.
Spattering The spattering technique involves covering the paper randomly in drops of paint. We can do this by using a brush that has been dipped in paint.
Printing The printing technique consists of using paint to coat a surface, usually a rough one (finger, sponge, cork, wood, etc.) and printing this surface on to the sheet of paper. This action can be repeated again and again.
Collage The collage technique involves sticking different elements (paper, newspaper, photographs, pieces of fabric, etc..) on to a surface in order to form an image.
Scratchboarding It is usually done with waxed colours and it consists on giving two coats of colours to the media (paper, wood, etc.) being the second one darker. So when scratching over the first layer the second one shows up.
