Design Acvitiy:
Devise a single element, such as a dot, diamond, squiggle, square or motif.
- Copy and repeat the element in columns or rows to make an overall pattern on a sheet of paper.
- Vary the spacing of the elements in the rows to create variation.
- Continue to create new variations by varying the size of the elements, by creating overlapping rows of elements, and changing the color, size, and orientation of elements.
- *Design Challenge:* (When finished with the above activity) Work in pairs to co-create a print where the two individual designs interact creatively. Then document what happened.
