Pattern Work Dairy

In this lesson i made an image bank on pattern and annotated them saying whether they was man-made or natural patterns. I also said how they where effective and how the pattern was created.  When i went out to shoot pattern i found it hard to find a continuos pattern with natural elements therefore i found more patterns within man-made elements.

Both of these photographs are an example of what i took for pattern in photography, They are both man made patterns as i found it hard to find natural patterns within the area i was in. These are both simple patterns as they only have one aspect which in this cake is the diagonal dashes and the straight squares. My second image could have been more focused on the pattern as there is other things in the image.

If i was to continue to shoot pattern i would try and find more natural patterns and also avoid having any other object in the photograph such as leafs as this i feel ruins the pattern.

Definition of Pattern

Definition of pattern

A repeated decorative designDescribing word for pattern:

• repeated
• criss-cross
• stripy
• spotty
• matching

In this photograph the pattern is created by the continuous pointed roofs which are diagonally places in the photograph. This is a man made pattern as they have been placed in this fashion to create the continuity. 

This image is of three different colored round fruit which have been place diagonally. This creates a pattern as the rows of fruit have been repeated according their colors, this created as decorative pattern. This is also a man made pattern.

This image is showing a natural pattern as it occurs naturally along with nature. This pattern is the lines within the leaf as they are symmetrical on either side  which is being separated by the stem in the middle of the leaf.

This is another example of a natural pattern as it is on a giraffe which is obviously a natural element. This pattern is created by the patches of brown skin which are continuous throughout the whole photograph. However all of the brown patches are not the same shape or size.

My definition of pattern is something that is repeated

pattern

pattern is a repeated decorative design.
There are two types of pattern, these are either man made or natural.


These first 2 photographs show pattern as they both have a continuous sequence of bricks and stone.

These would be man made patterns as the bricks and stones have been placed in a certain way to create the decorative pattern.
                                                                                     

In this image the pattern is the continuous lines going through the leaf from the leafs spine. This is a natural pattern as the pattern occurs naturally rather than someone creating the pattern. The image of the zebra is also an example of natural pattern. You can see that the zebras head has symmetrical lines creating decorative pattern.

In this image the pattern has been created by the air creating ripples in the sand. This would be a natural pattern as it is created by the movement of the air.
Lastly this is an example of man made pattern. The tins have been placed in lines which creates the pattern in this image.
