November: Repetitions!

Art researchers have outlined six principles (some say seven) of design as a guide for designers in creating good design and works of art. The six principles are: balance, proximity, alignment, contrast, space and repetition.

Today, the class focused on repetition; which referred to one object or shape being repeated. The class started with a brief input on the theme. For better understanding, repetative patterns on scarves and shawls were shown as examples.

Today's task required our students to create their own repetitive patterns. They were taught to create stencils of their own/ preferred shape.

Learning outcome: Principles of design, pattern and stencil making, creativity
