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.
