This document provides instructions for students to complete activities exploring textures and patterns. It defines texture as the surface quality of an object that can be simulated or actual. Tactile texture refers to the real feel of a surface, while visual texture is the illusion of texture. Geometric textures use tools to create patterns, while organic textures resemble natural growth. Students are asked to create textures using different techniques, cut them into geometric shapes, and combine to build a repetitive pattern like ceramic tiles. They also write an essay with illustrations defining texture, pattern, differences between the two, information on Nazari tiles from a certain location.

1 ESO UNIT 5 TEXTURES, NETS & PATTERNS
TEXTURE: The nature of the surface of painting, sculpture, or building materials.
Texture is one of the formal art elements. We can experience it by the senses of SIGHT and TOUCH. (Formal art elements: line, shape, form, color, texture, space, value (lights & darks)
Texture can be simulated by the artist, for example making something look as though it is rough, or it can be made actual, for example the surface being textured either because of thickly applied paint, or the addition of granular material to the paint, such as sand. Texture can also be created by sticking items to the surface of the composition, as in collage. Paint can be built up into rough peaks in a technique called impasto.
TACTILE TEXTURE Tactile means touch. Tactile texture is the actual (3D) feel of a surface.
VISUAL TEXTURE Visual texture refers to the illusion of the surface's texture. It is what tactile texture looks like (on a 2D surface).
The textures you see in a photograph are visual textures.
GEOMETRIC TEXTURES You can create geometric patterns by using ruler, set squares, compass or by using computer software.
ORGANIC TEXTURES This type of textures ressemble the way a living being grows.
ACTIVITY #1: In a standard A4 sheet, divide the paper into two halves and create two different textures, one of them geometric and the other organic. You can use any technique: pencils, felt-tips, crayons, collage...
ACTIVITY #2 (MAIN ACTIVITY):
Create different textured surfaces (size A4) using these techniques: DRAWING STAMPING SCRATCHING FROTTAGE (=RUBBERING) DRIPPING & SPRAYING COLLAGE (= GLUEING) Then, draw different regular polygon shapes, using ruler, set square and compass. Ask your teacher for help. Cut cardboard templates with a simple geometric shape. Cut out the textures into geometric pieces using the templates. Combine different pieces to build a geometric-repetitive pattern (like ceramic tiles). Glue the pieces on an A3 surface. Tiles: Nazari tiles
ACTIVITY #3: Write a little essay with illustration. This little project must include: Definition of texture. Definition of pattern. Difference between texture and pattern. A few words about nazari tiles. Images of each topic. A map of the nazari location, including dates. (you can draw, trace or print, but the text must be written by hand).
