FABRIC PRINTS

I researched alot of fabric print images. Some of the prints were very intricate and unique. Many of them were simple, and others were very eratic. But even through all of the different types of fabric prints all of them still were very structured. It wasn't the shapes or the colors themselves that brought them together, but the pattern that all of these elements were brought together by. The arrangement and the repetition of the fabrics elements made a unifying print because of the pattern. If there was no pattern to join the shapes and colors together then the fabric wouldn't look clean or organized. There would be no rhythm in the fabric and it would make a very static print. The most important component of makimg a fabric print is the pattern that the artist chooses to make. As i was looking at the fabric prints i realized that the colors and the shapes weren't picked by random, but that they were strategically placed to go perfecting with the pattern itself. What i learned from viewing all of the fabric prints is that in pattern making everything goes harmoniously together. The color, the shape, and the pattern could not hold by themselves, that they all have to be together to make it work. There is no right way to make a pattern, simple and complex are all great. The one thing that can affect if your pattern is successful is to make sure that all of your elements work together harmoniously.
