Pattern – 4 Types • Naturalistic/Realistic • Comes from nature. Looks almost real. ALL DETAILS INCLUDED.
Types of Pattern • Conventional/Stylized • Man’s interpretation of objects natural or manmade • More animated • Less Realistic
Types of Pattern • Abstract • No set, followed or repeated pattern. It does not have a motif taken from nature. • Used in more modern and contemporary designs
Types of Pattern • Geometric • Made with the use of lines, stripes, plaids and geometric shapes • Used in modern and traditional designs
Use of Pattern • Too much pattern can make a room too busy and uncomfortable.
Use of Pattern • A room without pattern may be too stark or lacking in character.
Use of Pattern • Successful pattern combinations feel comfortable.
Use of Pattern • Incompatible pattern combinations create an uneasy feeling.
To achieve a feeling of correctness in combining patterns: • Maintain a consistent mood. • Don’t mix formal naturalistic with geometric • Evaluate the placement of emphasis and avoid too many patterns in one area. • One bold pattern on a large area works better than 2-3 smaller patterns scattered throughout the room. • The size of the pattern should correspond to the size of the room and its windows. • Small scale patterns are often used in cozy rooms. • Large scale patterns for spacious rooms since these make a room appear smaller.
Pattern Assignment • Create a Pattern Collage Portfolio Page displaying each of the pattern types: • Naturalistic/Realistic • Conventional/Stylized • Abstract • Geometric • Each sample should be labeled and have a brief definition of the type of pattern it is.
