Arts Education 1
CP1.7
Investigate a variety of formal and informal patterns in art works and the environment, and apply observations to own work.
Indicators for this outcome
| (a) | Observe and describe patterns in the natural and built environments and in selected art works, and explore the use of patterns in own work. |
| (b) | Represent details of the physical appearance of plants, animals, people, and objects, noting how patterns can be created by repetition of colours, lines, and shapes. |
| (c) | Identify and create formal patterns (repetition at regular intervals) and informal patterns (repetition at irregular intervals) in surroundings and art works (e.g., the pattern on a butterfly's wings is a formal pattern whereas dandelions scattered in a field create an informal pattern). |
| (d) | Ask questions to contribute to inquiry about the existence and creation of visual patterns (e.g., What patterns do we see in these objects? How did the artists create these patterns? What patterns did you use in your own work?). |
