The difference between real texture and implied texture is:

• Real texture can be physically felt, while implied texture is visually created to look like a texture.

• Real texture is only seen, while implied texture can be touched.

• Implied texture is always rough, while real texture is always smooth.

• Real texture and implied texture are the same thing.

Light is important to how people see texture because:

• it creates shadows and highlights that reveal surface details.

• it changes the color of objects.

• it makes objects appear larger.

• it removes all shadows from surfaces.

Some methods that artists use to create real texture include:

• Using materials like sand or fabric in artwork

• Drawing with only pencils

• Using only digital tools

• Painting only with watercolors

Three different real textures you might see in the room right now are:

• Rough wood, smooth glass, soft fabric

• Shiny metal, glowing light, invisible air

• Loud music, bright colors, strong smell

• Heavy weight, fast movement, deep sound

How do we perceive color?

• With our eyes from the sun's reflection

• Light strikes an object, and the lightwaves reflect the color of the object.

• The object absorbs the light and then we see the color.

• Lightwaves separate in the darkness and then reflect color.
