Pattern making as an artistic decorative technique

A pattern is an organized arrangement of design elements such as dots, lines, shapes, textures, colors, etc. on a surface using any appropriate technique for decoration. Pattern making is an experimental process as the artist cannot predict the resulting designs.

The patterns can be used as designs for paper bags, clothes, greeting cards, fringes, garlands or tassels, and pop-ups. There are several techniques in pattern making. Examples of pattern making techniques are fluffing, marbling, blowing, spraying, splashing, stippling, string pulling, wax/crayon resist batik, marbling, scribbling, rubbing, rubbing, etc.

sponging

This pattern making technique involves the use of the sponge as the main tool for creating the patterns. The sponge can be placed or spread on the material (such as paper or cloth). The paint or ink is then rubbed with foam into the open areas of the sponge. Paint or ink can also be sprayed onto the material after the sponge is placed. The net patterns or diamond-shaped patterns of the sponge would appear in the material. Another technique is to dip the sponge into the paint or ink and roll it over the material or paper to create the patterns.

splashes

This form of pattern making involves the application of paint in liquid form by splashing the paint onto the surface of the material to create interesting patterns. Sometimes the tips of brushes are loaded with color or ink and the thumb is used to splash the color onto material such as paper. The splattering of the colored pigment or paint can be done with a piece of foam or paint-loaded brush.

fumigation

This is the application of paint or color spills through the tiny holes of a spray diffuser or atomizer. The spray can or container is filled with different colored pigments or ink and sprayed one at a time onto the material in various ways to create interesting designs. surfaces of
Calligraphy writing papers and other forms of wallpaper are decorated with spray patterns in a variety of colors.

dotted

This is the use of a drawing tool or implement to create a series of dots in an organized pattern on a material. Marking tools such as pencils, crayons, markers, and pens can be used to create interesting dot patterns on paper and card. This form of pattern making can be used to decorate the background of cards to be used for greeting cards, certificates, and other forms of wallpaper. Pointed metal tools, such as gouges, chisels, and texture nails, can be used to create decorative dot-like textures on wood, clay, and leather backgrounds.

thong pulling

This is the technique of creating patterns in a material by using strings. These strings are dipped in a colored pigment or ink. The colored string is then pulled so that the colors spill onto the material to create decorative patterns on the paper.

scribble

This method of pattern making involves creating random abstract lines with a marking tool, usually without even lifting the drawing device from the paper. Scribbles often created with different colored marking tools result in bold and attractive patterns on papers. These can be used to produce designs on paper bags, garlands, greeting cards, etc.

paper marbling

This is an aqueous (water) surface design method used in pattern production. Patterns are the result of color Usually oil paint is poured to float on the surface of water or a viscous solution known as size, and then carefully transferred to an absorbent surface such as paper or cloth. It is often used as a writing surface for calligraphy and especially book covers and endpapers in bookbinding and stationery. It can also be used as designs on papers to produce paper bags.

Batik wax/pencil resistant

This form of pattern making involves the use of wax to resist parts of a paper or fabric and apply color or ink to the entire surface of the material. After the paint or ink dries on the surface of the material, the wax is scraped off or removed to create interesting patterns. Another technique is to apply the waxed design to the surface of the material and dip it into a paint, stain, or ink solution. The wax is released from the material after the paint or stain dries to create the patterns. Colored crayons can be used to create attractive patterns on materials before paint, stain, or ink is applied.
