Key Learning
Paint
Paint may be applied in one or more thicknesses to
give texture. When paint is applied so thickly that
it has real depth, it is used in the impasto
technique. Paint may be applied in small strokes of varying
colour to look textural. Materials such as sand,
powder or vermiculite may be added to paint to give it
actual texture. Many other three-dimensional
foreign materials may be glued or otherwise attached to the
painting surface to give it texture.
Texture
Texture may be actual or it may be implied.
Materials
! tempera

(optional)
! brushes
! palette

container
! paper
towels or rags

! any
other type of ground such as wood, cardboard, metal (optional),
foreign materials to add to
paint or to affix to surface (optional).
Motivation
Visuals
PA 14, PA 15, PA 16, PA 17. After discussing the
slides individually, compare them in terms of
texture and materials. In each painting, how has
the artist used actual or implied texture?
Experimenting
In order to learn about actual and implied
texture, try the following:
a) Create texture using paint only.
b) Create texture using foreign materials and
paint combined
Suggested Theme
Fantasy animals, natural or designed objects might
provide interesting possibilities in terms of
texture.
Studio
Make a final painting incorporating actual/implied
texture appropriate to the subject matter.
Summary
Display all of the student work and discuss in
terms of the objectives and processes (successes,
problems, surprises).
