Texture is the surface quality of an object. We experience texture when we touch objects and feel their roughness, smoothness or patterns. Texture is the artist’s way of mapping these tactile impressions on to the two-dimensional picture. Texture is created by varying the pattern of light and dark areas on an object.
For this photo challenge, you will be graded on how well you show the concept of Texture in your photographs.
For your photo challenge next week, you will turn in TWO PHOTOS that explore the nature of texture in the most creative way possible. You could, cover a friend in tile, even your whole family if you wanted to. Or you could focus on the textures around you. Make the viewer feel like they can reach out and touch your picture. A PICTURE WHERE TEXTURE IS THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND WHEN SOMEONE LOOKS AT YOUR PHOTOGRAPH.
PRACTICE Photo due Wednesday, 10/27
FINAL Photo due on Friday, 10/29
