Use of PatternsToo much pattern can make a room too busy and uncomfortableA room without pattern may be too stark or lacking in characterSuccessful Pattern combinations feel comfortable.Incompatible Pattern combinations create an uneasy feeling.

22To achieve a feeling of correctness in Combining Patterns:

Maintain a consistent mood. Formal naturalistic will not work with geometric.Evaluate the placement of emphasis and avoid too many patterns in one area. 1 bold pattern on a large area works better than 2-3 smaller patterns scattered throughout the room.The size of the pattern should correspond to the size of the room and its windows.Small scale patterns often used in cozy rooms Large scale patterns for spacious rooms. These make a room appear smaller.Identify the color scheme of the patternUse a variety of sizes of patterns to create interest.

10. Texture Rubbing and mosaic; Fold a sheet of paper into six squares. - Put your name and hour in the first square -Make 5 texture rubbings by placing your paper over a surface and rubbing it with a crayon. - Label each texture rubbing with its object AND adjectives describing the texture.

11. Pattern Design follow the instructions to create the 6 different designs and identify each of their type of pattern.

13. Texture Board; Using your favorite room picture, identify how you think this room could be different by varying the textures. If the room is formal, how could you make it informal by changing its texture and if its informal, how could yo make it formal? Choose 3 objects or coverings in the room (upholstery/fabric, window coverings, wall treatments, accessories, flooring) and findactual samples of what you could use inst of what is in the picture. Remember to use variety in your textures.-Fold a piece of cardstock in half and properly mount your samples to the left side of the page. On the right side of the page explain what the actual object is and how you chose to modify it. Also explain how this changed the appearance and feel of the object area or room..
