Texture

 ** Definition of texture   ** Texture is a visual element that have the objects, in paint can be used to create the illusion of space. Is an optical and tactile quality. This last aspect is the most outstanding, since the texture is a visual element that raises awareness and physically characterized surfaces or objects. ** Types of texture ** Everything, including works of art, has a texture or surface. Texture can be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly, the list is endless. ** What is it that texture describes of an object? **   What describes the texture of an object is its surface, this may be smooth, rough, porous or rough, among others. In the case of the paintings the art component helps create the illusion of space. ** How can texture influence the characteristics of a space? **   An artist who is trying to create the illusion of space sharply defines texture in the foreground and paints less defined and softened textures in the background. This make me remember the old comics, like The Flintstones, in which the __character__ always was painted with a smooth texture color, and the background always was painted with a fuzzy color that appeared to be a rough texture. This is a example of how can the texture define spaces in a picture. In the case of physicals spaces, the texture can modify our perception of the room in were we are, for example a rough wall surely don't reflect the light as would do it a smooth wall. This can alter the way like we see the volume that fills the walls. ** What is the importance of texture in architecture /Urban Planning? **   The importance of this feature is that influences in the appreciation of the space, in boulevards the modification and variation of the texture of the floor can make us think about for were we should walk, at indoors it influence is most highlights because it notorious for its importance in the way it is handled and reflected light on surfaces.
