Happy teaching!

Seeing and Feeling

When looking at texture we almost seem to "feel" it.

Through association, we may see it with both our eyes and our fingers.

Creating Texture with Patterns

Filling a shape with a design or pattern will not necessarily create the illusion of texture.

Your pattern needs to follow the surface of the shape and wrap around it.

On your handout:

Choose 4 of the 9 listed textures and label each box. Get a reference sheet to help you!

Fill each box with one of your chosen textures using a pencil. Consider the following:

*Work on 1 texture at a time

*Analyze the the reference image! What kind of strokes/shading can be used? Are there defined shapes and textures?

*Use a very sharp pencil to get little details.

Turn handout in when finished!
