    Narrator: WE TEND TO THINK OF ART
  • 00:00:20
    AS SOMETHING JUST TO LOOK AT,
  • 00:00:22
    BUT A LOT OF ARTISTS MAKE THEIR WORK
  • 00:00:24
    TO STIMULATE OUR OTHER SENSES.
  • 00:00:26
    SCULPTORS, TEXTILE AND FABRIC ARTISTS,
  • 00:00:30
    BOOK MAKERS, CERAMISTS, AND ARTISTS
  • 00:00:33
    WORKING IN MANY OTHER FORMS
  • 00:00:35
    THINK A LOT ABOUT HOW TO ENGAGE VIEWERS' SENSE OF TOUCH.
  • 00:00:39
    EVEN WHEN THEIR ART IS NOT MEANT TO BE TOUCHED,
  • 00:00:42
    ARTISTS PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT AND WORK
  • 00:00:44
    INTO CREATING MANY DIFFERENT TEXTURES.
  • 00:00:49
    TEXTURE IS ONE OF THE SEVEN
  • 00:00:50
    ELEMENTS OF ART,
  • 00:00:52
    ALONG WITH LINE, SHAPE, COLOR,
  • 00:00:56
    FORM, VALUE, AND SPACE.
  • 00:01:01
    TEXTURE IS THE LOOK OR FEEL OF A SURFACE.
  • 00:01:04
    JUST LIKE FORM, TEXTURE CAN BE REAL OR IMPLIED.
  • 00:01:10
    IF YOU WERE TO RUN YOUR HAND
  • 00:01:11
    ACROSS THIS SCULPTURE BY ALBERTO GIACOMETTI,
  • 00:01:15
    YOU WOULD FEEL THE HARDNESS OF THE BRONZE METAL
  • 00:01:18
    AND THE ROUGHNESS OF THE FORM THAT GIACOMETTI CREATED.
  • 00:01:22
    THIS IS CALLED ACTUAL TEXTURE.
  • 00:01:25
    IMPLIED TEXTURES ARE ONLY VISUAL.
  • 00:01:27
    THEY CAN'T BE FELT.
  • 00:01:28
    FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU COULD TOUCH THE CANVAS
  • 00:01:31
    OF THIS SELF-PORTRAIT BY CHUCK CLOSE,
  • 00:01:34
    YOU WOULDN'T FEEL THE VARIED TEXTURES OF SKIN AND HAIR.
  • 00:01:37
    YOU WOULD FEEL THE SMOOTHNESS OF THE OIL PAINT.
  • 00:01:41
    SO THESE TEXTURES ARE IMPLIED BECAUSE WE CAN ONLY SEE THEM.
  • 00:01:46
    THERE ARE COUNTLESS WAYS THAT ARTISTS CREATE IMPLIED TEXTURES.
  • 00:01:50
    HOW MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF LINES DO YOU NOTICE
  • 00:01:52
    IN THIS PAINTING BY ROY DE FOREST?
  • 00:01:56
    YOU HAVE THE ZIGZAG LINES
  • 00:01:57
    CREATING A WOMAN'S HAIR ON THE LEFT,
  • 00:01:59
    CROSS-HATCHING CREATING HER SKIN,
  • 00:02:02
    THE BLURRED, SMUDGED COLORS COMING OUT OF THE DOG'S MOUTH
  • 00:02:06
    AND THE MAN'S MOUTH IN THE CENTER.
  • 00:02:08
    THOSE ARE JUST TO NAME A FEW KINDS OF IMPLIED TEXTURES HERE.
  • 00:02:13
    TEXTURES CAN ALSO BE CREATED THROUGH USE OF SHAPES.
  • 00:02:17
    IN THIS PAINTING BY GUSTAV KLIMT,
  • 00:02:19
    NOTICE HOW HE REPEATS SHAPES TO CREATE TEXTURES.
  • 00:02:22
    YOU HAVE THE TRIANGLES AND LINES
  • 00:02:25
    ON THE WOMAN'S DRESS ON THE LEFT,
  • 00:02:27
    THE MANY SPIRALS CREATING THE TREE IN THE CENTER,
  • 00:02:30
    AND IN THE WOMAN'S DRESS ON THE RIGHT,
  • 00:02:32
    YOU HAVE CIRCLES WITHIN CIRCLES, RECTANGLES WITHIN SQUARES,
  • 00:02:36
    AND ALL THE SCATTERED SHAPES THROUGHOUT THE PIECE
  • 00:02:38
    CREATE MANY DIFFERENT TEXTURES.
  • 00:02:43
    PAINTINGS AND OTHER TYPICALLY TWO-DIMENSIONAL ART
  • 00:02:46
    CAN HAVE ACTUAL TEXTURE.
  • 00:02:49
    SOMETIMES ARTISTS LAYER PAINT ON THE CANVAS SO THICK
  • 00:02:52
    THAT IT BECOMES THREE-DIMENSIONAL.
  • 00:02:55
    AT THAT POINT, THE PAINT IS A SCULPTURAL ELEMENT
  • 00:02:57
    THAT CAN BE MANIPULATED AND SHAPED.
  • 00:03:01
    SOME ARTISTS BUILD UP FABRICS, TEXTILES, JEWELRY,
  • 00:03:05
    AND MANY OTHER OBJECTS ON THE CANVAS
  • 00:03:08
    TO CREATE ADDITIONAL TEXTURES.
  • 00:03:13
    ARTISTS OFTEN FEATURE THE NATURAL TEXTURES
  • 00:03:16
    OF THE MATERIALS THEY USE
  • 00:03:18
    OR TEXTURES UNIQUELY CREATED AND FORMED BY HAND.
  • 00:03:22
    WHATEVER THE APPROACH,
  • 00:03:24
    TEXTURES ARE AN EXPRESSIVE TOOL ARTISTS USE
  • 00:03:26
    TO REINFORCE THEIR OVERALL MESSAGES.
  • 00:03:30
    THE NEXT TIME YOU'RE MAKING A PAINTING, DRAWING,
  • 00:03:33
    COLLAGE, OR SCULPTURE,
  • 00:03:35
    FIND A WAY TO INCORPORATE TEXTURES
  • 00:03:36
    THAT SAY SOMETHING RELEVANT AND IMPORTANT TO YOU.
