Pattern
Pattern
We are surrounded by pattern - in the houses we live in, the
clothes that we wear, in writing, music and nature. Pattern is not
only about objects or shapes, but also the spaces between them. We
can find patterns within numbers and maths investigations. Most
importantly we find pattern within nature, such as in spiders' webs
and in the structure of plants and rocks.
