Actual texture means that the object has real texture that you can feel with your hand. Implied texture means that the object looks like it has texture, but really it is only an illusion. Our projects that we created include both kinds of texture!<br />

5th graders have been working with the art element of space. They are using a very tricky technique called one point linear perspective to create the illusion of depth on a 2-dimensional paper. This is how it works:</div>
