Texture

Rough texture represents a surface with noticeable irregularities, bumps, or uneven marks. Examples include unfinished stone, tree bark, and coarse fabric. Since the word rough directly describes an uneven surface, option B is correct. A smooth surface is the opposite idea, while transparent air and empty space do not describe surface texture at all.

Smooth texture describes a surface that appears even, polished, and free from noticeable bumps. Glass, polished metal, and carefully finished wood may show this quality. Option C is correct because smooth texture indicates a चिकनी surface. A rough surface is its opposite, while a sound or a single black line is not a type of visual surface texture.

A typical stone surface has small irregularities, grains, and uneven areas, so rough and uneven texture is the most suitable visual choice. Option D is correct because it matches the observable surface quality of stone. Soft and shiny suggests a different material, transparency is about light passing through a surface, and an empty area has no texture to represent.

Glass is generally made with an even, polished surface, so it is a familiar example of smooth texture. Option A is correct. Brick may have a coarse or grainy surface, tree bark is usually rough and irregular, and sand consists of many grains rather than one smooth surface. The answer concerns surface quality, not colour or shape.

Tree bark normally has ridges, cracks, and an uneven outer surface, so it is a natural example of rough texture. Option B is correct. Smooth describes an even surface such as polished glass, while transparent describes the passage of light and flat white describes appearance or colour, not tactile surface quality. The answer follows the visible irregularities of bark.

Texture gives visual information about the quality of a surface, such as whether it appears rough, smooth, soft, hard, coarse, or shiny. Therefore, option A is correct: a viewer can infer what the surface may be like. Texture cannot reveal the paper's price, the artist's address, or a drawing's sound because those facts are unrelated to visual surface quality.

Actual texture is the real physical surface quality that can be experienced through touch. A rough stone, raised paint, or woven cloth has actual texture because its surface truly has bumps, grooves, or fibres. Option A is correct. Imagined sound, a paper serial number, and a colour name do not describe a physically touchable surface.

A sculpture may have a physically raised, carved, or rough surface that the viewer can touch, so it demonstrates actual texture clearly. Option A is correct. A printed photograph can create an illusion of texture but remains physically flat; a smooth screen and an empty page generally provide little or no varied surface relief.

Fur is made of many fine hairs, so a soft, hairy texture is the most suitable way to represent it in a drawing. Artists can suggest it with short, repeated strokes that follow the direction of the hair. Option A is correct; stone-like hardness, glass-like smoothness, and an empty area do not communicate the fibrous surface of fur.

Texture describes how a surface looks or feels. Sand consists of many small grains, so its surface appears uneven, granular, and slightly rough. Therefore, the correct answer is A, grainy. A mirror-smooth surface reflects light evenly, silk feels soft and smooth, and transparency describes whether light passes through rather than the surface texture. Sand, gravel, and dry grains are useful examples of grainy texture.

An artist suggests fabric texture by observing its woven threads, soft folds, creases, and changes of light across the cloth. Thus, option A is correct: weave lines and soft folds communicate both the construction and flexible surface of fabric. Sharp stone-like marks suggest a hard or rough material, while smell and sound cannot be drawn as visible surface texture. Careful line variation makes the cloth appear believable.

Metal generally has a smooth surface that reflects a strong source of light. In a drawing, a sharp bright highlight beside a darker reflected area creates the visual impression of polished metal. Therefore, option B is correct. Dull soil-like marks and sandy strokes suggest an opaque, rough surface, while bark-like irregular lines suggest wood or another coarse organic material rather than metal.

Wood has a recognisable grain produced by the direction and pattern of its fibres. An artist can show this texture with long, curved, or broken grain lines that follow the natural flow of the wood. Therefore, option A is correct. A glass-like highlight suggests a reflective smooth surface, empty space shows no material detail, and a circular sun does not describe the structure of wood.

Texture adds visual variety by making different areas of an artwork appear smooth, rough, soft, hard, shiny, or grainy. This contrast attracts attention and provides details that help the viewer understand the depicted objects. Therefore, option A is correct. Removing colours is not required, invisible paper is impossible as an art method, and turning a drawing into sound does not explain how visual texture creates interest.

A polished metal spoon has a smooth surface that reflects light in a concentrated way, producing bright highlights and a shiny appearance. Therefore, option A is correct. A dry brick and tree bark have uneven surfaces that scatter light, so they appear rough or dull. Sand is granular and usually produces a matte, uneven effect. The material and the condition of its surface together determine the visible texture.

A matte surface scatters reflected light in many directions instead of producing a sharp, concentrated reflection. As a result, it appears dull or less shiny, so option B is correct. A mirror-like surface and polished metal are glossy because they create strong highlights or reflections. Transparency is a different property: it describes light passing through a material, not the amount of surface shine.

Repeated lines, varied strokes, and organised patterns can imitate the visual structure of a surface. For example, short parallel marks may suggest hair, curved lines may suggest wood grain, and clustered strokes may suggest roughness. Therefore, option A is correct. Removing lines eliminates a useful texture tool, paper folding is a physical process rather than line drawing, and written sound does not create visible surface texture.

Using dots of different sizes, spacing, and darkness to represent a surface is called stippling. Closely packed or irregular dots can make an area appear dark, rough, or grainy, while widely spaced dots can make it appear lighter. Therefore, option A is correct. Straight rows do not automatically create a smooth texture, invisible dots cannot be seen, and dots cannot directly create a sound effect.

In the rubbing technique, paper is placed over a textured surface and a crayon, pencil, or similar tool is rubbed across it. The raised areas transfer darker marks to the paper, creating an impression of the original surface texture. Therefore, option A is correct. The method is used to study and record texture; it does not produce a price list, a sound pattern, or an intentionally empty frame.

Frottage is a texture-making technique in which a sheet of paper is placed over a textured surface and rubbed with pencil, crayon, or another suitable tool. The rubbing transfers the surface pattern to the paper, so option A is correct. Singing, burning paper, and frame polishing do not describe this art process.

A collage is made by arranging and attaching different materials on a surface. Papers, fabric, threads, leaves, or other safe materials can contribute visible or tactile texture, making option A correct. Blank paper adds no material variation, sound recording is unrelated to visual texture, and hiding a brush does not change the collage surface.

Softness is suggested by surfaces that appear or feel yielding, gentle, and comfortable. Fur and cotton are familiar examples because their fibres look fine and cushion-like, so option A is correct. Broken glass suggests sharpness, while stone and dry brick usually suggest hard or rough qualities rather than softness.

Hardness is communicated by a surface that appears firm, rigid, and resistant to pressure. Stone and metal are common references for this quality, so option A is correct. Cotton and fur normally suggest softness because they are fibrous and yielding, while a cloud is conventionally associated with a light, soft appearance rather than a hard surface.

A leaf’s texture can be represented through its veins, edges, spots, and other surface patterns. Veins are especially useful because they are visible structural lines that reveal how the leaf is organised, making option A correct. Glass shine, paper price, and brush sound do not describe the physical or visual surface qualities of a leaf.

Wall texture is suggested by irregular surface evidence such as uneven marks, cracks, bumps, or rough patches. These marks help the viewer imagine a non-smooth wall, so option A is correct. Transparent air has no wall surface, a mirror-smooth effect suggests the opposite quality, and removing all marks cannot reliably communicate roughness.
