It can also be created by actually touching it and physically feeling the texture. There are several different types of texture; rough, smooth, jagged, soft, shiny etc. This journal assignment requires you to take small pieces of paper and collect different rubbings of texture. Once you have done that collage them into your journal and make suggestions of where you could use them in a finished piece of art.
