Element of Design: Pattern
A pattern is an arrangement of lines or shapes, especially a design in which the same shape is repeated at regular intervals over a surface.
Look at the patterns on the right.

Pattern
Look at the work you are analysing. Find some small areas of them that you can trace.
Trace the small design elements from the work using the clear plastic and black pen.
Reverse / turn over the plastic and rub onto paper using the back of your thumb to transfer the tracing.
Repeat the same tracing multiple time to create a pattern.
Use the pattern sheet on the left as a guide - you can create patterns that look different by repeating the same thing in lots of different ways and directions.
