Fundamentals & Techniques
Looking at the use and significance of both Traditional and Contemporary patterns in Art and textiles, we will explore these ideas in our own collages and a collaborative work. We will also discuss expressing individual ideas with the techniques covered.
Overview:
- Look how pattern and design has influenced our works.
- Discuss pattern use in Myanmar and how they are represented according to our religions and architecture.
- Look at how patterns and the way we illustrate them can describe out emotions.
- Collaborate by using patterns and design as a form of communication.
