Rain's Thursday Art Date - Love


Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date, the theme is 'Love'. I made a heart tessellation pattern designed on graph paper. I chose 3 colours that seemed to work well together (red, pink and purple)  and am so proud of the result. I have never done anything like this before, very math-like. Art and Math geometry have a lot in common as I have come to learn. Tessellation patterns are like tile patterns in the way shapes fit together, very much like a puzzle. So I made upright rows of hearts alternating with upside down hearts with no spaces in between the pattern.

This was also shared on Instagram for @alexandrasillos #patternedthingsbyalex.

Happy Valentine's Day tomorrow!

  17. Your pattern is beautiful and yes very "Mathamatic". I don't often think in terms of math when I an creating, but it certainly is true that this Math Pattern is artistic and, I am guessing, not so easy to make. Nice job, Christine :)
