Introduction
MI
Introduction (LSI Quadrant I):
SHOW: Slide Presentation on Repeat Design.
SAY: Cultures throughout history have used repeated designs to embellish
functional and decorative objects such as tiles, ceramics, metalwork, jewelry, fabrics,
weaving, and beadwork.
ASK: What other designs can you think of with cultural references – such as tattoos?
SAY: Design is also an integral part of certain religious relics and ceremonies such
as sand mandalas created by Tibetan Buddhist monks or labyrinths and stained
glass in Christian cathedrals.
SAY: Periods and Styles (such as Art Deco, Art and Crafts, Rococo, Medieval, Meiji,
and countless others) have distinctive qualities.
ASK: Do you identify with a particular cultural reference, or have a favorite art period
or style? How does that influence your design choices?
SAY: Look around and take note of the use of repeated designs that you see daily.
Tee shirts, mugs, and corporate logos utilize repetitive designs. Though the
manufacturing methods have changed from centuries past; we still make use of
repetitive designs in much the same way as people always have.
ASK: Are there distinctive qualities to contemporary repeated designs and do they
reflect the cultures in which they are created?
ASK: In what type of industries might a designer or illustrator be employed?

B. Artistic Movements
some of the best examples of
decorative design across
cultures throughout history.
The National Museum of the
American Indian is another
excellent resource.
Challenge students to find
other internet sources.
III.
Create Original Sketches
A. Designs on a 6” square format.
B. Fold the square in half so that it forms a
triangle.
C. Design at edges must meet at the same
point on the opposite half.
D. Work out a harmonious color scheme with
no fewer than four colors.
Stress that sketches should
be original. They may use the
examples shown as
inspiration but should make
the designs uniquely their
own.
If necessary, re-teach color
theory and emotional
associations of color. Discuss
analogous, complementary,
and combinations on the
color wheel.
IV.
Color sketches will be shown to the client for
selection and approval
A. Instructor will act at the client
B. Three Color sketches are to be completed
C. Select most successful sketch for the 6”
square
The instructor will act as the
client. Assist the student in
selecting the most
appropriate design.
V.
Create a 6” square template
A. Use black fine tip markers and tracing
paper.
B. Proper measurements required
A. Check measurements with client before
proceeding
VI.
Preparing Final Paper
A. Use 14” x 14” sheet of white paper
B. Measure and mark the top and bottom of
each edge at 1”, 7”, and 13”.
C. Lightly draw a line so that there is a 1”
border and the page is divided into four
equal parts.
VII. Creating Final Design
A. Use a Light Box to copy template design
onto final paper.
B. Position template under final paper aligning
to one of the four quadrants
Proper measurements are
critical and should be
checked.
A sunny window may be
used instead of a light box.
Alternately, a “carbon” may
be made by using a soft
pencil on the back side of the

Application
MI
Guided Practice (LSI Quadrant III):
The teacher will demonstrate how the patterns align, are rotated and repeated by
using a sample template while students observe. The teacher will post a visual
representation on a white/black board with the measurement specifics for the final
artwork.
MI
Independent Practice (LSI Quadrant III):
Students will conduct research, develop ideas and create artworks independently.
Summary
MI
Review (LSI Quadrants I and IV):
Q & A Session:
Q: How have people throughout history made use of design in their everyday lives?
A: To embellish textiles, tiles, jewelry, ironwork, ceramics, beadwork, etc.
Q: How is design/illustration used in products and product marketing today?
A: Still used to decorate consumer products. Other uses include logo design,

signage, and graphics.
Q: What is Balance in an artwork?
A: The way in which an artwork is arranged to make the different parts seem equally
important.
Q: Describe the different types of balance used in this project.
A: Symmetrical Balance – both sides of a center line are the same, or about the
same. Example: butterfly wings, our bodies. Radial Balance – a type of balance
in which shapes or lines spread out from a center point, like a wheel.
Q: Describe an analogous color scheme.
A: Colors next to each other on the color wheel such as yellow, yellow green, green,
blue green, blue.
Q: What are complementary colors and describe their effect when used together in
a color scheme.
A: Colors opposite each other on the color wheel like red and green. The high
contrast of complementary colors creates a vibrant look especially when used at
full saturation. This color scheme must be managed well so it is not jarring.
Complementary colors are tricky to use in large doses, but work well when you
want something to stand out. Complementary colors are really bad for text.
Q: When talking about color, what is a “tint” and describe how to achieve tints using
color pencil technique?
A: A tint is the addition of white (when using paint) to a color. When using color
pencil technique, a tint can be achieved by using a light, steady application of
color rather than bearing down with the pencil.
Q: Describe the difference between “geometric” and “organic” lines or shapes.
A: Geometric shapes have sharp edges and create precise patterns. Organic
shapes are curved and have natural, irregular edges.
Q: Why are precise measurements critical to the success of this project?
A: If the measurements are “off”, the repeated pattern will not match up and flow
throughout creating disunity.

Principles of Design Handout
Unity – a quality that occurs when all part of an artwork combine to create a sense of
completion and wholeness.
Variety – a combination of the elements of art to provide interest in the artwork
Emphasis – the visual sense of importance given to objects or areas in artwork. This is
accomplished with the size, color, shape, or placement of an object or area to create
dominance, contrast, or a focal point.
Balance – the ways an artwork is arranged to make the different parts seem equally
important.



Symmetrical Balance – (formal balance) type of balance where both sides of a
center line are the same, or about the same. Example: our faces, our bodies.
Asymmetrical Balance – (informal balance) type of balance where two sides of an
artwork are not alike, but carry equal or nearly equal visual weight. Both sides
look equally important but they are not the same.
Radial Balance – a type of balance in which shapes or lines spread out from a
center point, like a wheel.
Proportion – the size relationship of the parts of an artwork to each other and/or to the
whole piece. Example: the size relationship of the nose to the whole face shows
proportion.
Pattern – repetition of line, shape, color, texture, space or form in an artwork. A pattern
is a model or plan to be followed when making something.
Rhythm – a sense of visual movement or motion caused by the repetition of the
elements of art in an artwork. In music, rhythm refers to the pattern of the notes.



Progressive Rhythm – Rhythm created by showing regular changes in a repeated
element, such as a series of squares that progressively increase in size from
small to large. The changes may also progress from top to bottom, or dark to
light.
Regular Rhythm – Rhythm in an artwork created by repeating the same element,
such as a shape, without variation.
Alternating Rhythm – Rhythm created by repeating two or more elements on a
regular, interchanging basis.
