CONTENT

Pattern and Design

Human beings love beautiful things. They love to make their environment beautiful, e.g., the home, the school, offices, etc. Men and women also love to beautify their bodies, making use of decorative materials.

We can decorate cards and posters using patterns. We also can use patterns to decorate cloths. Pattern, in this sense, means a repeated arrangement of shapes, colors or lines, to create beauty. In design, we work out the structure or form of something by making a sketch, outline or plans.

Design can also be described as a plan, sketch or preliminary drawing. It is the arrangement or pattern of elements of features of an artistic or decorative work. Pattern and design, can mean the same thing. They both deal with finished artistic and decorative creation.

Lines can be used to create patterns and designs.
