YOU USE PATTERN
STUDENT GALLERY Hannah age 9
You just looked at a picture that showed parts of objects, including some patterns. Select a subject to draw that has pattern. Learn about patterns below. Then, draw a scene with some patterns. Gather a colored pencil set, drawing paper, a sharpener, and an eraser.
Drawing a grid with intersecting lines is a good place to start a pattern. A checkerboard pattern is made when one square is colored, followed by one that is not. Use curved lines too. The fish scale pattern is made using a curved line from corner to corner of a square. The spaces can be filled in the same ways using lines and colors.
Dividing the squares on the grid from corner to corner gives us spaces for a new kind of pattern. Here are two patterns made from the same division of space. This design from pottery starts with lines that are the same through each row, but different from each other. When filled with color, a shape appears.
