Texture

 

There are 3 types of texture - Actual, visual & simultaneous. The way that you feel something or look at it could be varied by the texture of the subject. Visual texture is the illusion of texture on a flat surface.

VISUAL = Illusion of texture

Actual = the texture its self

Simulated = the materials that we would use to create.

We had to take some pictures this week to show different textures that we could see outside. I have taken a few different pictures of sculptures, glass windows & walls to show different texture in the objects that we see every day. I have also edited some of the pictures in Photoshop to give the image a rougher or smother texture by adding value & colour to them.

 

I have lost my images of texture as my laptop broke and I lost everything so I have been around the house tonight & taken a couple of pictures with different types of texture in them.

In this picture by August Sander the texture of the wood gives the picture the feel that this girl is looking out of a window in her house or a barn of some sort as the texture looks like a wood effect and the darker patch where she is opening the door to turning a handle looks damp or wet. By having this wet texture look your eye is drawn to what she is turning and gives in narrative. Sander would travel around on his bike and take pictures of people and their surroundings where he lived near Cologne. Later on in his career his work would be more focused around Architecture and nature.

In this image below by August Sander taken in 1940 he shows a use of texture from the snow on the foreground to the bear trees in the forest and gives you the sense of how cold it was by the texture in picture and the balance of the colour. August Sander - 1940's
