Element of Design - Texture
Texture is the surface quality of an object. A rock may be rough and jagged. A piece of silk may be soft and smooth and your desk may feel hard and smooth. Texture also refers to the way a picture is made to look rough or smooth. Texture can be categorized as either real texture or implied texture.
Real Texture is the actual texture of an object. Artist may create real texture in art to give it visual interest or evoke a feeling. A piece of pottery may have a rough texture so that it will look like it came from nature or a smooth texture to make it look like it is machine made.
Implied Texture is where a two-dimensional piece of art such as a picture is made to look like a certain texture but in fact is just a smooth piece of paper or computer screen. Like a drawing of a tree trunk may look rough but in fact it is just a smooth piece of paper.
[Project]
Let’s return to your Training Room 1 Project. Add some texture to your image. Look for a paint can or flood fill tool, paint brush or even a pencil tool. You may need to experiment with various ways of creating a texture look in your composition.

When you are done adding objects to your bedroom, save your updated work to your course folder.
