Lesson details
Key learning points
- Artists can create patterns by repeating shapes and lines.
- Artists can record patterns and detail in observed forms, using tools such a viewfinder to help them.
- Artists can make patterns using different kinds of tools, including ones that they make themselves.
Keywords
Pattern - a repeated arrangement of shapes, colours, or lines
Repeat - to use the same shape, colour, or line multiple times to create a pattern
Viewfinder - a tool, like a small frame, that helps you focus on and choose what part of a scene you want to look at
Common misconception
Every mark or shape needs to be identical and placed in a perfectly regular sequence to make a pattern.
Remind children that patterns do not always have to be exactly the same each time, but they still follow a rule or idea.
