Art & Design: Pattern and Abstraction

  • Choose an object from nature and simplify it into an ABSTRACT shape.
  • Repeat the shape to create a pattern design for textiles.
  • Draw a picture of a household object and cover it with your design. This could just be in a picture or you could make real prototypes by printing directly onto objects (e.g. a vase) or fabric.
