Why this project
Learning about pattern is essential in art as it is part of surface design. Pattern can add beauty and interest to work. Pattern is also a mathematical concept and learning about pattern in art can reinforce the concept and make them clearer. Pattern also teaches the brain to look for predictability and fill in the blanks.
