Texture



Reflection Question for Texture Studio (1-13-11) Due: by 3:00 p.m. on Monday, January 17th

What did you DO with texture(s) in class? How do you FEEL about texture(s) in art, or otherwise? and What do you THINK about texture(s) in art, or otherwise?

A **texture artist** is an individual that develops [|textures] for digital media, usually for [|video games] films and television shows. [|[1]] Many amateur texture artists establish sites on the [|Internet] to proliferate their work, or host it on their own websites. Some are taken in by a [|modding] team. Modding teams are bands of editors for a certain game, dedicated to modifying certain parts of a game, sometimes so far as to create a new game out the game's [|Engine]. Texture artists are contribute to this effort, as the textures they create are used to coat the objects on a level map, or character model, and are responsible for much of what gamers actually see in-game.

I went outside and rubbed the crayon on a couple of different textures and also made some different textures with the iron and some ribbon. I feel like texture in art is very important because i think it could determine a lot on how the picture could turn out or what something feels like.

Cobey: I am not very inclined in the arts; however I do understand their significance in assisting in the educational process. I enjoyed playing with the various textured items in class. I am extremely interested in textures and how educators use textures to assist children with disabilities. While I do not know a great deal about this, it is something which fascinates me. As a teacher it is imperative that you make learning “fun” for children, this workshop was an excellent example of how to do exactly that. I embrace these activities as opportunities to learn skills I will use in my own classrooms.

Molly: I love feeling textures. I like to know if its solf or hard or whatever it is. I went all around the room to found textures. A lot of texture I see in art is hard

Lauren-I took an art class last semester and it really made me think slot differently about texture, I like it alot more now. I like texture I like touching and feeling all different type soft hard or anything else that is considered texture. I think that texture are needed in everything because otherwise I feel like everything would be boring. During class I went around the whole room finding textures. Melting crayons .. Wall textures.. Ect. Lauren, I wish I would have taken some kind of basic art class. I also like different textures and seeing how the different textures feel. I feel like I would have an even more interest in texture if I know more backgroud information about it. I also found many different textures around the room. My favorite one was melting the crayons and then putting a paper on one of the chairs and coloring it. It turned out to look very cool!

Katelyn Massie- I did alot of different activities with texture in class. My favorite activity with texture was melting the crayon in the paper with an iron. After the crayon melted, it was very soft and the colors looked very pretty. I also put the paper on one of the chairs in the room anc colored on the paper. The texture on the paper was neat looking and one of my favorites. I like different kinds of textures. When shopping and picking out clothes that is the first thing I do is feel the clothes. I dont know a lot about textures but I am interested in learning. I think I would know more about feeling different textures if I was more educated on textures. I think the different textures are interesting in art. I think its interesting to feel different textures and to see why they are different.

Kira : In class i went out in the hallways and found different textures and i also liked the melting of the crayons, i mixed many colors together. I feel that textures are a good thing because if there wasnt textures there wouldnt be no difference in textures and all arts would be boring.
