Textures


 * Texture:** Is that specific quality of a surface which results from 3d structure, is used to describe relative smoothness or roughness, and characteristic to familiar materials such as stone, wood or fabric.

a) **Textile Texture:** can be proven by the sense of touch. All textile textures provide visual textures as well and they are real b) **Visual Texture:** are the ones perceived by the eye. Visual textures can be an illusion or real.
 * Types of Texture**

Texture mostly describes the surface of an object but in some cases it can also describe the material the object is made of based on previous experience, for example if we see a tree and observe its texture we immediately think that its made of wood, but we can be wrong, the tree that were watching could be made of steel or carved in stone with such precision that it deceives our brain.

In a space texture can change the apparent shape and position of a plane, textures with a directional grain can accentuate a place length or width, while others can make a plane feel closer, reduce it scale and increase its visual weight.

In architecture we can use textures to make a small room seem bigger with a soft and light atmosphere where people can relax and feel comfortable, as well we can make a big and empty space feel smaller, private and inviting.
