TEXTURE
The texture is the quality of a surface or the way any piece of work is represented. Lines and shading can be used to create different textures as well. For example, if you were trying to portray certain fabrics in a piece of work, the movement of the lines and shading in the right places would need to be accurate in order to mske it look three dimensional.
These little models have been hand made and therefore consists of many textures. Sculptures have more textures than paintings anyway and in this piece there are many different levels to the piece therefore indicating that there will be more textures.
Nothing in the piece is likely to be smooth, if it was hand-made however this is what makes the piece a bit more interesting. I think it being hand made as well also adds to the impact that its has on the viewer because all the little people are really thin and disturbing.
I don't think that this texture is easy for me to incorporate into my work as not a lot of the pieces involve a lot of textures in them, but I think that could manage to put it in somewhere.

  1. careful not to sound too vague Amber. Look carefully at the work and describe what you se in terms of texture. Just because something's hand made, does not mean it is going to be 'rough' or 'unsmooth' in texture! JM
