Texture In the visual arts, texture is the perceived surface quality of a work of art It is an element of two-dimensional and three-dimensional design and is distinguished by its perceived visual and physical properties. Use of texture, along with other elements of design, can convey a variety of messages and emotions.
Types
There are two main types of texture:
Touch Texture: this type of texture refers to the direct contact with the object and all touch texture include visual texture.
Visual Texture: this type can be real or just an illusion and we can receive this type of texture without touching the object.
There are three facts that affects the texture: scale that can change the appearance, distance and light. Everything, including works of art, has a texture or surface. Texture can be , bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly, the list is endless. In this section you'll examine the actual texture of works of art, and discover how artists create the illusion of texture with paint, wood, stone and clay. You'll also see how differences in texture can be used to create the illusion of space.
An artist who is trying to create the illusion of space sharply defines texture in the foreground and paints less defined and softened textures in the background. In this picture we can see how distance can create the illusion of visual texture.

The roughness of the vase indicates that it is an object to be close to the body, but rather isolated.

How can texture influence the characteristics of a space? Textures can accentuate a length or width. The relative scale can affect the shape and position of a plain in space.
What is the importance of texture in architecture? Texture is an important element in architecture because it can influence the characteristics of a space. We can see that in architecture the texture can be used to give different sensations,such as the simple example of a rough wall with a smooth, rough wall is normally associated to an exterior environment. difficult to find a wall of this type check us otherwise. A feeling inside, elegance and peace of mind, among other sensations.
