  4. Famous artists used patterns in their paintings. Here is an example by Vincent Van Gogh (1853-69) ‘House and Figure' How has he created patterns in this picture?

  5. What makes a pattern? Lines Colours Shapes • When we discuss Art works we refer to these as elements of visual art. • When they are combined in a variety of repetitive ways, they form what we call a pattern.

  6. Lines Eyes like to follow lines and collect their meanings. There are many different types of lines: • Straight or curved • Vertical, horizontal or diagonal • Diagonal lines suggest something is moving • Sharp angry lines or happy dancing swirls • Hard or thick, soft or thin lines • Lines can be implied

  7. Colours • Colour can add feelings These colours can make you feel warm or excited These colours can make you feel cool or relaxed

  8. COMPLIMENTARY COLOURS • Complimentary colours are opposite each other on the colour wheel, using them together can make patterns vibrant due to the strong contrasts. What are some examples?

  9. Shapes There are 2 categories of shapes: • Geometric; i.e. circles, squares, triangles and hexagons • Organic;these are irregular shapes found in nature • i.e. people, animals, and plants

  10. M.C. ESCHER • Any shape can be used to make a pattern. • Escher was an artist who created special patterns called tessellations, these use the same shape repeatedly. Is this a picture of fish or birds?
