These are both really great examples of actual texture in art. The top piece, using lead and copper tipped bullets to create an image of the American flag, and the bottom, creating a beautiful scene out of recycled cardboard. The top uses actual texture in a way that creates a more powerful message, as well as simply being very interesting as compared to what it would be in 2-D. The way in which the bottom uses actual texture makes the image much more interesting as well being more catching due to the fact that it is made out of a strange material.
