Rough & Smooth, scraped. I used to think most textures could be described with one word, and now I think most textures need a combination of words to describe it.

I think this texture is consistent. Now I think I like things that are consistent, “in general”

# data[].attributes.body
smooth and bumpy; I used to think of this as a thick texture, but now I think that "thick" is not a descriptive word for this texture.

I used to think I didn't have enough language to describe images and I still think I struggle with finding words to describe imagery.

I used to think that I need to agonize over a word, but now I think that everything contains multitudes.

Cat Crunchies.

I use to think these unappealing, but the smoothness and design of the little plate them look yummier.

I used to think texture was the way something felt with our fingers…I’m realizing it can be connected to emotions and can be individualized.

# data[].attributes.body
Oily

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think of texture in terms of things with very identifiable texture: tree bark, a tennis ball, etc. now I think about the textures of things that wouldn’t first make me think of texture. For example, this leaf makes me think first of color and shape.

# data[].attributes.body
Crumbly

# data[].attributes.body
I use to think I had a pretty good vocabulary but now I think I rely too heavily on the “-y” ending to describe things

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think of texture as something that describes the surface, but now I think it can describe the shape as well.

# data[].attributes.body
algal, lettuce-like, layered

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think I had a good enough vocabulary to describe the texture in one word, but I struggled to come up with one that would describe it definitively. It’s a sort of velvety plastic, but I associate that word more with fabrics, and I would have just said it’s matte, but I tend to associate that more with shininess. I think it’s important to remember that that struggle to come up with a word is going to be something that students are going to have to deal with too, about all kinds of things.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that textures only described a “touch” feeling, but now I think they can be more nuanced - perhaps incorporating more of an emotional response.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think texture words were easy to identify. Now I think I am a bit puzzled with this task.

I use to think macro photography was mainly used for bugs etc.

Now I think macro photography on textures is an amazing way to create abstract art and I am starting a project using this with my photo one students in a few weeks

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think each texture only had one description. Now I think any texture can have multiple descriptions.

# data[].attributes.body
Light, crinkly, moldable, slippery

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think smooth and now I think burnished.

# data[].attributes.body
Bumpy

Upon further thinking: dimpled, hammered, uniform, manufactured

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think scaly but now I think rough and pointy

# data[].attributes.body
Wrinkled

Directional by hand. Consistency. I want my students to know: There is not one way talk about anything.

Clear, sparkling, love, gleaming, mystical, flowing, majestic.

I use to think that texture is tangible. Now I think that it can be conceptual.

I used to think “bumpy”, now I think canyon, ridge, round, smooth, dip down, rise up… the texture is more complex than I’d originally thought.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think one word could be sufficient in describing a texture but now I think I need to use more.

# data[].attributes.body
Now I think it is too rigid.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think texture was hard to draw, now I think I am more patient drawing details.

Mounding

I used think two opposits can exsit is rare, but actually exsits everywhere.

# data[].attributes.body
Furry

I used to think it was as easy to take a find a word as it is to take a picture…but I did not come up with an adequate word for my texture.

# data[].attributes.body
Soft and springy

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that it was bumpy and now I’m thinking that it is prickly and hard.

I’m having some difficulty coming up with more word without using a thesaurus. For such a chatty person this is a challenge. I can also say that it is scratchy and flexible.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I used to think students understood what texture was intuitively, implying texture visually and now I think that students need a lot of help and examples of implied texture 

# data[].attributes.body
I use to think this might be challenging. But I found something I could connect to because I got to choose my subject matter. It was VERY hard for me to find words. Pictures come easier to my mind.

Can a texture be irritable? I used to think describing texture was basic. Now I understand it’s complex.

I used to think textures were created by extreme detail.

Now I think the general idea coming across is more important.

I used to think one word was sufficient, now I think we need more than one word to describe

I used to think for elementary age students that we should describe texture in terms of opposite like smooth and bumpy or hard and soft. And now I think students even at this young age are capable and can use their expansive vocabulary/vivid imaginations in word form in the art room, but there are so many different and varying textures (everything in between; makes me think about varying emotions and our SEL vocabulary with that) and so many ways to describe them. There is no one right way to describe something or right answer to create just like the visual arts…. At first, I was going to find a picture online a specific zoomed in texture and then I saw my dog perched on a chair and lots of texture. I feel like students would be very interested in this and definitely use this exercise in my digital photography choice block that I teach fourth and fifth graders.

I used to think of this only as soft but now I came up with more words. I had trouble coming up with words. I did something similar with students, but they had to find adjetives, at least 6, that described themselves and starting with their first name initial.
