I chose this image of rope because it is simple and something that is used everyday. The first thought when I see rope wouldn't be that it has a pattern, but this assignment has helped me to see things in a different way. I like the way the rope folds over itself over and over to create a braid type look. I like that in some areas of the rope it seems to disappear because of the braided look. I think this also helps to pull your eye to different sections of the rope.

I chose this picture because of the unique pattern and also the bright pops of color. I liked how creatively they used the fence to hold what looks like painted cups to form a piece of art. The pattern makes your eye go in all directions, but the color helps you to focus in on certain places and that is what drew me in to this piece of art.

I chose this image to focus on all the different patterns the nail polish created. It was interesting to see a different medium used to create pattern and it really shows that pattern can be found anywhere. I like these patterns because they use bright colors and animal prints. If I were to see someone with these patterns on their nails it would definitely catch my attention.

This building clearly stands out from ordinary buildings and the uniqueness of this building's pattern is what drew me in. I think it is so interesting how it was designed with all different size cutouts for the windows. It's almost like a maze for your eye to try and figure out how to follow.

                http://www.debraprinzing.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/brick-wall-okc.JPG                                                      This brick pattern was found on Google images at the URL above. I like this pattern because of it's rustic feel. I like that the bricks do not look brand new, but instead look old and used. Also, my favorite part is the negative space between the bricks and how the sun shines through.

This is a picture of a mat that goes into your shower to prevent you from slipping. I picked this pattern because I thought it was playful and fun. I liked that some circles were filled in with other circles, but then others were left empty. I think that helps to not make the pattern look to busy.

I found this pattern on the back of one of my chairs in my room. I like how each block has it's own color, but at the same time they are all brought together with the use of putting one rectangle on top of another. I think the space between each rectangle helps to draw your eye around the pattern and bring it to the next thing.

This grid like pattern was found on a dish towel. I picked this pattern because I use it almost everyday and never paid much attention to the pattern. Although you can't see it well in this picture the the fabric in the squares is raised up and uses texture along with the grid pattern.

This floral pattern was found on a roll of paper towels. I liked that it really had two patterns to it. The dominant floral pattern and also the bounty diamond pattern that is more of the background pattern. I was drawn to this because it had used both pattern and texture at the same time.

I found this vent near the top of my shower in my dorm. Of course it looks a bit aged and dirty, but I think that is why I was drawn to it. It was different from the other patterns because it had more of an industrial feel.The grid pattern was pleasing to my eye because it was balanced and everything is equal.
