5. Pattern
Ready to use, no prep: teach pattern with 23 illustrated slides, from motif and grid repeats to tessellation and surface design. Students build a motif, try half-drop, alternating and radial repeats, and see pattern in fashion, ceramics and cultures around the world.
Ready to use. No prep. Simply beautiful.
Open the file and start teaching. This Pattern deck is fully finished and classroom-ready, with nothing to build, edit or rearrange, so you can spend your time with students instead of making slides. Every slide is designed in a rich artistic style, with botanical borders, elegant vintage lettering and detailed sketchbook-style illustrations. The drawings and illustrations inside the deck inspire students with new ideas for their own artwork. Professional, polished and as beautiful as the art you teach.
This deck takes students from a single motif to a finished surface design, the same process textile and wallpaper designers use.
