Building an Expressive Pattern

Your journal assignment should demonstrate your ability to:
· Combine elements (motifs) into modules.
· Plan a way to organize modules into a regular pattern.
· Create a pattern that helps celebrate an event or situation.


Review your previous journal assignments to determine whether you still want to work toward the same criteria and whether the proportions and profile you planned are still what that you think will work best to celebrate the event or situation you’ve selected.

Your teacher may indicate what techniques you may use to make your patterns, depending on the art materials available.
Develop and make a sketch of a pattern that reinforces the event or situation you want to celebrate.

Will your pattern’s modules be made up of a few simple elements or motifs? Or will you develop a more complex module to repeat in order to form your pattern?

How will you organize the repetition of modules to make a pattern? (band, reversed, alternating, staggered, overlapping)
Where will your pattern(s) be most effective on your vessel? (lip, neck, shoulder, body, foot).

Checklist
1. I submitted a sketch of my pattern, showing motifs, modules, and organization.
2. I submitted a sketch indicating where I plan to locate the pattern on my vessel.
