ABSTRACT

Texture is a familiar phenomenon that each of us experiences

every day. All of the objects around us possess texture ,

which refers to both the tactile and the visual quality of a

surface. When we run our hands over an object, such as our

clothing, our sense of touch is engaged allowing us to perceive

the physical qualities of the surface we are touching. Texture

that can be perceived through our sense of touch is called

actual texture or real texture. It is three-dimensional, and

the changes in the object’s surface are palpable and concrete.
