Texture

After making the texture rubbings this afternoon, I decided to look into textures some more and found this helpful website. It helped me to understand that everything has texture, a fact I sometimes have trouble understanding and remembering. It is easy to see that something rough or bumpy has a texture, but I never really think of something completely flat and smooth having a texture too, but it does. I also found the explanation of the difference between tactile texture and visual texture interesting and how there is texture that you can feel, like what we were using for the rubbings, and also textures on 2D surfaces, such as in photographs or drawings.
