PATTERRRRRNS



The wall papers, floor tiles,and textiles are much needed necessities among the people all over the world. Especially with tiles and textiles, these things developed through out the time, and as art was growing among the cultures, also their style and decorative function followed.
he patterns, I've realized are different by countries. It may be effected mostly by their environment- geographical location which has pros and cons of what resources they provide. For example, Islamic textiles were most colored with brown, red, ochre the earthy colors and dark greens. They had intricate designs of leaves, pomegranates,and some other flowers that are native to their own land. Cottons and wools are natural resources on their land, enabling them to develop complex technology in creating textiles. Nations like Islam-Egypt,Rome,China etc-which has experienced a long history also had a strong growth of culture. Patterns, in a way, are the symbolism of culture, as it is all mathematical, making it a complex element.
Patterns all follows and repeats an underlying single or more pattern in methodological way. This is true as it is clearly shown by nature. the cells and minerals that consists in the very earth, the appearance or forms of cloud, fire, water, or the most simplest things like daisies all are forms of pattern. Patterns also has it's own 'pattern' in it self. Some are just simply same repeated pattern, or there can be structures of irregularities.
In conclusion, the patterns in which the human makes are mere copies and inspirations derived from nature, which is the amazing creation of a being so much bigger and complex then us.
