Pattern A two-dimensional decorative effect achieved through the repetition of colors, lines, shapes, and/or textures.  Pattern is created by a regular or expected repetition. Patterns tend to have a flattening effect, which makes the space hard to read. The patterns clamor for attention, and almost seem to blend together.
Regular repetition of lines, shapes, or colors that create a movement can be called  Patterns. Pattern
Repetition and Rhythm Repetition – gives a composition unity, continuity, flow and emphasis Rhythm – a regular occurrence of elements with related variations Repetition and Rhythm create patterns
Repetition
Rhythm Rhythm is created when one or more elements of design are used repeatedly to create a feeling of organized movement.  Variety is essential to keep rhythm exciting and active, and moving the viewer around the artwork.  Rhythm creates a mood like music or dancing.
Texture – Real or Implied  Tactile qualities of touch and feel Real texture is texture that actually exists –  what you can actually feel Implied texture -created to look like the real object on a flat surface Texture can be Grained Rough Corrugated Smooth Furry Shiny Prickly
Texture Real texture – feel by touching When we actually touch and feel a surface we experience real texture Cactus, feathers, scales, fur, wood Meret Oppenheim – Object 1936  Tree root
Implied texture  Van Gogh close up When we look at a photograph or a painting of the texture of a surface such as glass or velvet leather, we see patterns of light and dark that create the effect of texture Simulated texture ;  a two dimensional surface that imitates real texture, simulated textures copy or imitate real textures.
