GeometricGeometric PatternsPatterns Geometric Patterns Introduction In working with shapes, whether mathematically or artistically, it is necessary to have a good feeling for how more complex shapes can be made from simpler shapes. Their analysis or deconstruction is important to understanding them and to their creation. This unit is intended to help foster that sort of insight by means of some pleasurable practice in the construction of geometric patterns. No instructions are given on the sheets themselves so that they may be used in any way deemed suitable. Notes are given here which, together with a look at the material available, will provide some guidance as to how a suitable package can be put together. It is certainly not envisaged that any one pupil would encounter every sheet. As well as various blank “grids” provided at the back of this unit, other suitable sheets can be found from the trol menu under the headings of ‘Lined Grids’ and ‘Dotted grids’. One thing which needs to be borne in mind when planning this work, is the balance needed between the various aspects of the overall activity. Copying is a part of it, but should not become the whole of it, and there should be a development into exploration and creation. Even colouring-in has a part to play in encouraging the activity overall, but must not be allowed to consume an undue proportion of the time. Geometric Patterns 1 ~ Border Patterns This is a very good introductiory activity since it involves no more than counting squares but, for some, it does present difficulties in visually carrying something across from one sheet
