Patterns

A pattern can be described as a repeating shape or decretive design. Patterns are found on all types of materials including fabric, tile, wallpaper, and even sides of buildings. Islamic art has great examples of pattern. Throughout their architecture intricate patterns are painted on the buildings. Islamic patterns are very colorful and have small details that make the patterns interesting. In tile patterns there are a lot of geometric shapes. In fabric patterns there is a majority of wavy or more organic designs. Wallpaper or wall designs tend to have a lot of line patterns. Islamic architecture is the most interesting to me. The intricate patterns show how much time and thought was put in to each building.
