Experimenting with acrylic medium and ink to add pattern and dimension.

Through this task I explored how pattern is within everything around us. Specifically, when travelling through London I found patterns within buildings, objects, people and nature- all of which I wanted to explore further through this task.

I used mixed media to explore pattern. Inspired by my surroundings I experimented with texture to highlight pattern. Through exploring pattern, I found rubbish around me, that contained both pattern and texture. I found that this effectively communicated this. I found that working on small drawings allowed me to add detail however I found that through high detail you can loose the simplicity of a pattern.

Overall, I found this task effective in my learning of pattern. Through experimentation I was also drawn to what could come of a textile piece inspired by pattern and texture- this is possibly something I would explore more through my work.
