Elements Of Design: Texture

Elements of Design: Texture

                Along with last weeks blog about Line, our next Element of design is texture.  Our task was to make an olioboard showing the three categories of texture: Visual, tactile, and Audible.  Visual meaning the appearance of a surface.  Tactile meaning the feel of a surface, and Audible meaning the sound a surface makes when rubbed.  For my Visual materials in my oliobard I used The mirror on the right hand side, the picture on the back wall, the light fixture, and the plants.  For my Tactile texture, I used my fur pillow on the bed, the rug in the center of the floor, the blanket beside the bed, and the chair on the right hand side.  All of them having a different kind of feel.  The Audible textures could be the sound the tree/plant makes when you rub against it.  The sound the floor makes compared to the sounds the rug would make as you walk across it.  The sounds you would hear as you run your hand across the fur pillow compared to the regular pillow.  Lastly the sound the chair would make as you sit down in it, or the sounds the books and vase would make as you set them down on the glass table.
