Arts Explorer #4 - Looking for Patterns in Urban Settings & Nature

Pattern "can be made with forms, shapes, lines, colours, textures or symbols that move across a surface in a recurring sequence" (Schirrmacher & Fox, 2009, p. 142). Pattern can be seen everywhere we go, from buildings to furnitures, even pavements.

As I walked around my neighborhood, I witnessed various kinds of patterns, which I've taken some photos to share with you.

I've came across this pattern when I went to check the mail. This is a photo of the malbox. The individual boxes and the similarities of each forms this pattern.This pattern consists of squares, circles, rectangles and lines.

I'm sure everyone have seen the different floor patterns that are out there. This is the one that I have chosen, which was taken outside my doorstep. The squares and rectangles was positioned horizontally and vertically
to form the pattern that is shown and it repeats throughout.
