Explore beauty by creating your own dot pattern!

DESCRIPTION

Often when we think about beauty, we think about decoration and patterns. These could be intricate and complex, or simple and consistent. In this prompt, we want to challenge you to use play with one of the most fundamental and universal elements of graphic design — the dot — to explore the themes of this class. You can create something beautiful.

How will you play with material or process to create your own story of making? What colors will you use, moving between the polychrome and monochrome spectrums? How will you play with proximity and space to mimic natural patterns of growth? What will you combine in unexpected ways to create the serendipitous joy of the chance encounter?

Think about color, think about nature, and think about what inspires you. Have fun making a pattern with dots!
