In Class 9 Art Education, the topic Texture introduces students to the visual and tactile qualities of surfaces as an important element of art. Within the chapter Elements of Art, they learn to observe, compare, and represent textures such as rough, smooth, soft, hard, natural, and man-made. Through drawing, shading, pattern, and suitable materials, students explore how texture creates detail, contrast, depth, and visual interest in an artwork.

Practice questions
01 What is used while creating texture through hatching?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Similar or closely spaced lines
Explanation: Hatching is a line-based drawing method in which parallel or closely spaced lines are used to build tone and surface effect. Changing the direction, length, pressure and spacing of the lines can suggest light, shadow, roughness or smoothness, so option A is correct. A colour name, sound and smell are not drawing marks and cannot by themselves create a hatched texture.
Correct answer: A. Lines in two directions make the surface look dense and rough
Explanation: Texture is the visual or tactile quality of a surface. In cross hatching, one group of lines is drawn across another group, so the marks become denser and create stronger tonal depth. This makes a surface appear rough, woven, or heavily shaded. Therefore option A is correct; the other choices describe removing marks, changing the sense, or leaving no surface detail.
03 Which texture can make a desert scene look more believable?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Sandy and grainy texture
Explanation: Texture helps an artist suggest the material and environment shown in a picture. A desert is associated with loose sand, tiny grains, dunes, and a dry uneven surface, so a sandy and grainy treatment makes the scene more believable. Option A is correct. Velvety, transparent, or metallic qualities suggest different materials and do not naturally represent desert ground.
04 How should shading be used while showing soft texture?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Light with smooth transitions
Explanation: Soft texture is suggested through gradual changes rather than abrupt marks. Light shading with smooth transitions allows one tone to blend gently into the next, which can represent materials such as cloth, cotton, or polished softness. Option A is correct. Broken lines, solid black blocks, and no tonal variation create harshness or remove the visual information needed to show a soft surface.
05 Which method is more effective for showing rough texture?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Broken lines and irregular marks
Explanation: Rough texture is communicated by irregular visual marks that interrupt a smooth surface. Broken lines, uneven strokes, varied pressure, and scattered marks can suggest stone, bark, dry earth, or a coarse wall. Thus option A is correct. A uniform fill suggests smoothness, a blank area provides no texture evidence, and a perfect circle alone shows shape rather than rough surface quality.
Correct answer: A. Surface quality can create a calm, hard, or scary effect
Explanation: In visual art, texture contributes to mood because viewers associate surface qualities with feelings and experiences. Smooth, softly blended surfaces may feel calm, while jagged, cracked, or coarse marks can feel harsh, uneasy, or frightening. Option A is correct. The other choices deny texture’s expressive role or replace an artistic element with an unrelated idea such as a serial number.
Explanation: Texture can communicate age, condition, and atmosphere in an image. Cracked walls and rough wood suggest weathering, neglect, and decay, so they support the frightening mood of an old house. Option A is correct. A shiny new surface suggests cleanliness or modernity, a cotton-like wall suggests softness, and transparent glass does not normally describe an old building’s exterior.
08 Which texture can increase the effect of a luxury object?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Shiny and polished surface
Explanation: Texture influences how viewers judge an object’s material and value. A shiny, polished surface reflects light smoothly and is commonly associated with care, refinement, quality, and luxury. Therefore option A is correct. Dry cracked mud, rough brick, and torn old paper communicate age, dryness, or neglect rather than a refined premium appearance, although context can change artistic meaning.
09 Which relation between texture and pattern is correct?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Repeated marks in a pattern can create a texture effect
Explanation: A pattern is an organised repetition of lines, shapes, colours, or marks, while texture describes the surface quality suggested by those elements. When repeated marks are arranged closely or with variation, they can make a surface appear woven, grainy, ridged, or patterned. Option A is correct; the other choices wrongly deny the relationship or define visual terms as sound or a date.
10 What can happen to a composition if texture becomes too much?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. The picture may look crowded and visually heavy
Explanation: Good composition depends on balance, hierarchy, and controlled visual emphasis. If every area is filled with strong or complex texture, the viewer’s eye receives too many competing marks; the image can feel crowded, visually heavy, and less clear. Option A is correct. Excess texture does not literally erase objects, guarantee emptiness, or stop paper colour from changing.
11 What can happen by giving more texture to the main object?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. The viewer’s attention can be drawn to that object
Explanation: Texture can support emphasis by making an area more detailed, contrasting, or visually active than its surroundings. When the main object receives purposeful texture while the background remains quieter, the viewer’s eye is likely to notice that object first. Option A is correct. Texture does not change physical size, automatically erase the background, or prevent focus; its effect depends on contrast and composition.
12 What problem can result from using very strong texture in a background?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Attention may shift away from the main subject
Explanation: A strong or dense background texture can compete with the main subject and divide the viewer’s attention. Therefore, attention may shift away from the subject, making option A correct.
13 What should an artist keep in mind when depicting skin texture in a portrait?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Use restrained marks and subtle tones suited to the subject
Explanation: In a typical portrait, restrained marks and subtle tonal changes help suggest skin without overwhelming it. The treatment should suit the person being depicted, so option A is correct; heavy cracks or a brick pattern would usually misrepresent skin.
14 What is a common drawing difference between hair texture and skin texture?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Hair is often shown with directional lines, while skin is often shown with subtle tonal changes
Explanation: Directional lines or grouped strokes can suggest the strands and growth direction of hair. Skin is often represented with smoother transitions and more subtle tonal changes. These are common approaches, so option A is correct.
15 Which texture can suggest the surface of leather?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Fine grain with a smooth, gentle sheen
Explanation: Leather often has a relatively smooth surface with a fine grain; polished leather may also have a gentle sheen. These visual clues make option A suitable. Furry marks, broken stones, and waves suggest different surfaces.
16 Which texture can suggest the feel of cold metal?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. A smooth surface with sharp highlights
Explanation: A smooth surface with sharply placed highlights can suggest metal because it appears hard and reflective. These visual cues can also help convey a cool feel, so option A is correct. The other textures suggest cotton, mud, or petals.
17 For which object is a matte texture appropriate?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Chalk
Explanation: A matte surface has little visible gloss and does not produce a strong, sharp reflection. Dry chalk has a dull, powdery appearance, so option A is correct. A mirror and polished steel are glossy, while wet marble may have a sheen.
Correct answer: A. Reflections and shiny highlights
Explanation: A thin layer of water can reflect light and nearby objects. In a drawing, reflections and bright highlights can suggest a wet, glistening surface, making option A correct. The other choices do not by themselves convey wetness.
19 Which effect is suitable for showing a dry surface?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. A dull tone and cracks
Explanation: Reduced gloss and, for some materials, visible cracks can suggest dryness. A dull tone with cracks is therefore suitable, making option A correct. Strong reflections, mirror-like shine, and transparency suggest other surface qualities.
20 What problem may arise if an object's texture is shown incorrectly?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. The viewer may be confused about identifying the object
Explanation: Texture gives clues about a surface and its material. If those clues conflict with the object—for example, if glass is shown as furry—the viewer may be unsure what the object is. Therefore, option A is correct.
21 Which use of texture can help separate the foreground from the background?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Clearer texture in the foreground and lighter, less detailed texture in the background
Explanation: Stronger, clearer texture in the foreground can make it seem nearer, while reduced detail in the background can suggest distance. This contrast helps separate the two areas, so option A is correct.
Correct answer: A. Less detail and softer texture in distant objects
Explanation: The governing concept is atmospheric or visual perspective: distant objects are usually represented with fewer details, softer edges, and less sharply described texture because they appear smaller and less distinct. Therefore, option A is correct. Maximum cracks and equally sharp marks would make distant objects look unnaturally close, while isolated black dots do not consistently communicate distance.
23 How can actual texture be created in a collage?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. By pasting cloth, sand, or paper
Explanation: Actual, or tactile, texture is a physical surface quality that can be seen and felt. In a collage, attaching materials such as cloth, sand, corrugated paper, or fabric creates raised, rough, or soft surfaces. Thus option A is correct. Writing a word or looking at a frame only represents an idea; digital sound cannot physically create collage texture.
24 Which material can easily create a grainy actual texture?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Sand
Explanation: Actual texture can be felt by touch. Sand consists of many small grains, so applying it to a suitable surface creates a rough, grainy feel. Therefore, option A is correct; the other materials are generally smoother or have a different surface character.
Correct answer: A. Repeated crossed, thread-like lines
Explanation: Woven cloth is made from threads that cross one another. Repeated intersecting, thread-like lines can suggest this structure, so option A is correct. A single dot, a reflection, or stone cracks do not show a woven pattern.
