Tactile: perceptible by touch: TANGIBLEThick brushstrokes give a painting a tactile quality.

GLOSSY- having surface luster or brightness

MATTE- dull or dead surface, often slightly roughened, as on metal, paint, paper or glass

Simulated Texture = To use one item, painted or colored to make it represent another item. Such as; you can paint a piece of poster board to look just like flannel cloth but to the touch, it will still be poster board. The eye is fooled by the painted texture of the cloth on the poster board.

Actual Texture = Did you use an actual piece of an item in your art such as wood, plastic, metal, cloth, paper or other texture.

Material has its own inherent textural qualities.

Support Surface texture.

Visual texture is created when lines, dots, or other shapes are repeated.

Variation in size, density, and orientation of those marks can produce different spatial effects.

Texture: Repetition of lines, dots, or other shapes.Hatching, Cross-hatching, Cross-contour, Stippling, Typography

Rubbing-The act of polishing, cleaning, or drying. A representation of a raised or indented surface made by placing paper over the surface and rubbing the paper gently with a marking agent such as charcoal or chalk.

Collage : An artistic composition of materials and objects pasted over a surface, often with unifying lines and color. A work, such as a literary piece, composed of both borrowed and original material. The art of creating such compositions. An assemblage of diverse elements

Pattern- A plan, diagram, or model to be followed in making things: a dress pattern. An artistic or decorative design

Organic -constitutional in the structure of something.

Geometric-Using simple geometric forms such as circles and squares in design and decoration.

Spatial Variations in: size, density, orientation, value.

Frottage- A freshly painted canvas is placed right side up over a raised texture and rubbed or scraped across the surface of paint.
