Repeat Pattern Watercolor

Pattern in art and design is the repetition of lines, shapes, tones, colors, textures and forms. I think our US Art Teacher did a fabulous job at teaching this lesson.

What is Repetition, Pattern, and Rhythm?

What is repetition, pattern, and rhythm?  How do they relate to each other?
Repetition refers to one object or shape repeated; pattern is a combination of elements or shapes repeated in a recurring and regular arrangement; rhythm--is a combination of elements repeated, but with variations.

Repetition

Repetition is an object, form, or figure that is repeated.

Pattern

Pattern is a combination of elements or shapes repeated in a recurring and regular arrangement.

Rhythm

What is Rhythm?
Rhythm is like pattern, in that the same elements (i.e.shape, line) are repeated; however, with rhythm there are slight variations in the pattern. Rhythm is easily perceived but complex and subtle. Think of  water on a beach; it  continually breaks on the shore in lines that are repeated,  yet each one is different.
