Here is a couple of ideas for developing students abilities to use textures and colour.

Check out this brilliant resource from Lesley Pearce and Anthony Kwan at Takapuna Grammar School on Design Elements, Principles and associated activities:
Attached information:
Here is the work we start our year 12 students on. I give them Function and elements of design to glue in the start of their visual diaries. They then head up a page with the title, e.g. Line, write their definition or the given one. Do aclass exercise on line and then find examples of the use of line form magazines, internet etc on a variety of areas, e.g. architecture, product design or media design. The other files I gave out if the students needed extra stimulus, Lesley.
