The Essence of Art - Pattern and Color

Pattern and color are two of the basic elements in art that are part of our visual perception of the world. Color is a constant source of inspiration, and induces the wides range of emotions in the maker and the viewer. Even a lack of color evokes a response. Pattern is a repetition of an element (or elements) tat we can recognize, and can be color, line, shape, material, texture, etc. Patterns can vary in rhythm, direction, and value. They can have a purpose or meaning, or can simply exist as decoration. Some patterns are simply art of the process, like woven textiles or hammered metal.
