TEXTURE: "Little moments can have a feeling and a texture that is very real." ~Ralph Fiennes My senses were surprised by the juxtaposition of textures as I stepped out onto the construction scene in our front yard. The shadings of gray, brown, light, and dark painted a backdrop for the orchestra of construction workers symphonically scooping, dumping, pounding, and tamping of this artful raw material. In music, texture is how the melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic materials are combined in a composition, thus determining the overall quality of the sound in a piece. “The world is an orchestra, the universe is a symphony.” ~ Matshona Dhliwayo Texture in art stimulates two different senses: sight and touch. This element of art gives us a sense of the feel of a surface. From simple lines come our shapes that compose our forms. “Each moment has a different flavor, different beauty, and different texture.” ~Amit Ray. Forms then become textures that lead us to sense patterns. Textures create a sense of depth with a loss of sharpness or added detail. Its blending and intertwining of color provide us clues. "The true worth of a man is not to be found in man himself, but in the colours and textures that come alive in others." ~Albert Schweitzer How has texture filled your lives? “I loved you with texture. You loved with a softness. Texture brought detail, softness brought folds. Folds brought creases and creases had secrets.” ~ Dominic Riccitello #texture #art #design #textureporn #musicaltexture #constructionsite #constructionsight ##texturequotes #quotes #quotes #motivation #artelements #textureoflife (at Sea Ranch Abalone Bay) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMSeBEkr7jp/?igshid=7mpbyg926uo9
