I want you to get the most out of the time you’re investing in my class, so this project is one that you can follow along with me, step by step!

For your class project, you will be creating a seamless botanical pattern and an accompanying art print using the same motifs. So you only have to put in the work once, but you’ll have two finished pieces to show for it! Here’s what you will do:

Draw botanical motifs based on your own references or the ones attached to this section
Digitise these motifs and apply a colour palette
Compose your finished motifs into a surface pattern tile
Use your motifs to create an accompanying art print

Once you have completed your project, you will have:

Your own, unique botanical repeating pattern tile in .ai and .PNG format
Your own A4 art print in .jpg format using your botanical motifs

I would love to see what you create, so please do share your completed projects in the project gallery (along with in progress pictures and palette variations if you’d like!)

I also encourage you to share your work on Instagram. Be sure to tag my account @sneha.kadaba with the hashtag snehakadabaskillshare and I’ll share it on my stories!

And if you have any questions during or after the class, just ask in the Discussions tab.

Have fun!

Samantha G.
