There are combinations and variants in creating texture some of the most often practiced are:
Splattering textures involves loading a brush with color and tapping the brush at a height to towards the paper. Care is observed when splattering a texture since too much water in the brush might lead to big blots and blobs that will not be as easy to control. Another technique at splattering a texture is to use a pencil or the handle of another brush when tapping the brush that is loaded with color unto the paper.
Spraying textures is very much like splattering although in this technique the artist use toothbrush instead. Since toothbrushes are made of nylon and could therefore not hold much paint and water, charging the toothbrush with paint from a paint brush is preferred rather than dipping the toothbrush in a puddle of water diluted color. Again care is observed that the toothbrush is not loaded with too much water as dripping will ruin the work. To spray the texture, rake the bristles of the toothbrush along the points where sprayed textures are desired.

Almost all traditional dances today have taken its root in the African American dance back in the early 17th and 18th century. If you look at it closely, we can safely say that most of the techniques and dance maneuvers of known styles have its root in the vernacular dance routines practiced by Africans during their migration to the American continent.
Rags To Riches – A History
The history of the African American "vernacular" dance is deeply rooted in Virginia, Maryland. African slaves who were brought to America have most likely introduced a diverse culture of music and dance without any fixed form. In order to retain their nativity as Africans, many of these groups have succumbed to perform their own set of dance routines without putting any emphasis on fixed styles, yet bordering mostly on improvisation and creativity.
Leading music and dance expert all agree that the African American dance routines are mostly improvised choreography. The diverse culture that captive Africans are exposed to during their sojourn in America, as well as in Spanish and European countries made it possible for them to adapt to other dance forms and uniquely coming up with their own.

Although nowadays, disco is not that popular anymore, it is still considered by a lot of people as one of the more influential genres of music and dance style in its time. A lot of our genres of music and dancing styles that we have today seem to take some parts or aspects from Disco back in its time. A lot of modern day sounds and movements bear influences from Disco.
What Is Disco?
Disco is actually a dance music genre that became fairly popular during the mid to late 70’s. This was actually a reaction directed against the domination of rock in the mainstream music scene, as well as the dance music’s demonetization during that time. Disco was originally popular amongst the black gay community, but was introduced into the mainstream music culture as it was picked up by New York City’s white gay clubs. Even women and Latino’s were hitched to Disco later on.
Disco Sounds
Disco is actually influenced by a lot of different music, which would originally include soul and funk music. Usually, music that has a “four-on-the-floor” steady beat with an eighth note or sixteenth note pattern with soaring vocals, electric bass lines
