The Principles of Design - Pattern
from Art Smart · host 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.

Who ARTed focuses on a different artist every week telling the stories that make up art history in a way that is accessible and appropriate for listeners of all ages.
