Design Acvitiy: 

1. Devise a single element, such as a dot, diamond, squiggle, square or motif.
2. Copy and repeat the element in columns or rows to make an overall pattern on a sheet of paper.
3. Vary the spacing of the elements in the rows to create variation.
4. 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.
5. *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.
