Design Concept – Rhythm and Pattern
Rhythm – regular, flowing or progressive. Use an intentional, regular repetition of lines of shapes to achieve a specific repetitious effect or pattern.
Pattern - means the repetition of an element (or elements) in a work.
Technique to include – Create an Exciting Background
Try a monochromatic tradition block background, painting a background to have many different elements, dyeing fabric (shibori or itajime) or maybe some wonky piecing. Make the background different instead of a single piece of fabric to showcase your pattern.
