The Principles of Design - Pattern

from Art Smart Hosted by Kyle Wood

This is part of my series of episodes on the Principles of Design. For this episode, we focused a bit on repetition and pattern. Repeating an element can help with balance and unity. Patterns generally incorporate both a bit of repetition and some variety. Patterns can add some excitement to a composition, but artists must be careful in using patterns so as not to make something that becomes cluttered and overwhelming. To learn more about the Elements of Art and Principles of Design, check out the website www.artsmartpodcast.com If you enjoyed Art Smart, check out my other podcast.

Tao Te Ching by Laozi (Author), Stephen Mitchell (Full Audiobook) Laozi Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, is the classic manual on the art of living, and one of the wonders of the world. In eighty-one brief chapters, the Tao Te Ching looks at the basic predicament of being alive and gives advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit. This book is about wisdom in action. It teaches how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and applies equally to good government and sexual love; to child rearing, business, and ecology. Stephen Mitchell's bestselling version has been widely acclaimed as a gift to contemporary culture. The Truth In This Art Rob Lee The Truth In This Art with Rob Lee is a Baltimore-based arts and culture podcast where independent journalist Rob Lee goes beyond the highlight reel to uncover the truth behind the work—the creative process, the choices, and the stories that shape the people who make it. This podcast features thoughtful conversations with emerging and established photographers, filmmakers, designers, musicians, chefs, writers, and other creative voices. Each episode explores how artists build sustainable practices, stay connected to their communities, and create work that reflects the world around them. More than interviews, these are stories about what it takes to build a creative life—the challenges, choices, and experiences that make art matter. For makers, culture lovers, and the creatively curious
