4 l a X Texfufze is out f eme ,W M Z 5, T Mis ,, ,, if ozewoab TexTure was a word originally applied To fabrics only, ThaT is, To Things woven. Now iT is used To refer To The surface of all maTerials in Two ways: KU The manner of sTrucTure in organizaTion of parficles of a body or subsTance, and KQJ To iTs surface appearance, which expresses To The eye iTs real sTrucTure. ln an arTisTic composi- Tion, sTrucTure would be The resulT of The arTisT's blending of elemenTs, such as parTs in music, The brushwork in a picTure, The web and weave of a fabric, or The gloss of a painTed wall. Indoor TexTure is perhaps The mosT familiar To us, buT when we look ouTdoors we find a vasTness of varieTy, defying descripTion. Here we have The roughness of bark, The cold sharpness of sTone, The velveTy peTals of flowers, and weT sofTness of snow or The prickly needles of a pine. Since we wished To use This Term as The connecTing Thread of our book, we discovered The endless elemenTs ThaT make up The Tex- Tures used in school life. Every deparTmenT could be- symbolized Through TexTures. Even people seemed To find a niche, pupils and Teachers alike. We found sofTness, roughness, coldness, hardness, smooThness, and oTher qualiTies. We wandered from The silver of fluTes, To velveT draperies, meTal Typewrifers To pigskin balls and wooden bafs To feaThered shuTTlecocks. IT has been said ThaT TexTure Today is The facTor which creafes The design of modern living and The decoraTive in all our paTTerns wheTher These paTTerns are for sTreamlined cars or fooTball helmeTs. So as you Thumb Through These pages we hope ThaT The Tex- Tures of The symbols we have used may noT only give you The feeling of The secTions which follow, buT also arouse in you an awareness of all TexTures which surround you and of Their imporfance in our lives. ,
