Arts Explorer #4 Looking for Patterns in Urban Settings & Nature

What is a pattern?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, a pattern, from the French patron, is a type of theme of recurring events or objects, sometimes referred to as elements of a set of objects.

These elements repeat in a predictable manner. It can be a template or model which can be used to generate things or parts of a thing, especially if the things that are created have enough in common for the underlying pattern to be inferred, in which case the things are said to exhibit the unique pattern.
At the beginning of this project, I never paid attention to anything around me in regards to patterns.  Since I started, I found thousands pattern around me and they are easily discovered.

Below are pictures of patterns I found in my neighborhood.  Along the sidewalk, the city plants many trees, probably planted in the same year and season.  Growing under a similar environment, they present a nice pattern.


Real Pattern !!

I visited a coffee shop; I step in.  Do you notice under your feet, the carpet, another pattern?




Do you know where you can find it?  It's just beside our campus!!




In ECE program, curriculum as subject matter, content, or academic area.  The children may enjoy making patterns for their friends to copy.  This is one of the sensory development .
