Understanding the Visual Elements - TEXTURE

This video is the sixth in a series about the Visual Elements of Art and Design. Every work of Art & Design contains at least one of these seven Visual Elements (Line, Shape, Tone, Form, Texture, Colour, and Pattern), whether the artist put them there on purpose or not. Better understanding the Visual Elements and how they work together can help artists and designers create more effective works of art/design.

This video focuses on the sixth element; Texture. Texture is how something feels.

After watching the video I was wondering how I haven't found it sooner when I search for Texture videos last year and realized this is new. Great job with your examples and explaining! My students will enjoy it :)
