How does light effect texture?
the way light falls on an object has a definite effect on the readability of the surface: when light hits an object, it strongly defines the texture of the object. If that same object is in shadow or dim light, the surface texture may be reduced or become imperceptible.
-
what happens to texture when the light is right (bright enough and in the best position)?
The texture becomes active and dominant.
-
How might the surface appearance of an object change, depending on whether the light is from above or at an angle?
Overhead, or light from above causes the texture to be smoothed out on top, strongly evident on the sides, and lost in the shadows below (creates shorter shadows and makes surface textures indistinct). Light from an angle like the late afternoon sun (Ideal light for dramatic outdoor photographs) emphasizes the texture of an object and causes strong shadows to be cast (lengthens and distorts shadows, calling attention to details of surface texture).
-
How does bright light effect a highly polished surface?
The light bounces off the surface and creates a glare.
-
what might a artist use on a highly polished surface that creates a glare when in bright light.
On surfaces that are smooth or finely textured, an artist might use indirect lighting to bring out their definition and character.

How do sculptures achieve textural qualities?
by selecting and combining materials with certain surface attributes. they also use tools to alter those surfaces. they might carve, gouge, sand, or polish the surface of wood, they might alter a metal surface by cutting, welding, rusting, or polishing.
