Working with pattern

Nature is full of patterns that people have used throughout time for their art work. Notice patterns and experiment with them. Notice how you perceive them, through colour, line or texture. Do you like them? What do they make you think of? What do you feel when you gaze at them or work with them?

There are no limits to what you can do.

Photograph them.

Recreate them.

Watch what is happening around them.

...Be curious. Why are they that shape?

Try to draw the different patterns you see.

Make a collection.

Sort and categorise them.
