Class Assignment: Continue the notes on the Elements of Art. Texture: the surface quality that can be seen and felt. Textures can be rough or smooth, soft or hard. Textures do not always feel the way they look; for example, a drawing of a porcupine may look prickly, but if you touch the drawing, the paper is still smooth. Color: the light and color reflected off an object. Works off of varying intensities of the color, as well as the combination of color sets. Space: the area between and around objects. The space around objects is often called negative space; negative space has shape. The space can also refer to the feeling of depth. Real space is three dimensional; in visual art, when we create the feeling or illusion of depth, we call it space.
