Student Commentary
Briefly define the nature of your concentration project.
The focus of my concentration is pattern. My goal was to work from a variety of sources of inspiration and use my repetition to create designs. I intended to explore shape, texture, and color while limiting my sources of inspiration to nature. In nature I chose simple forms such as insects, fish, and shells as sources of imagery. I tried to achieve an "organic" look to my pieces.

Briefly describe the development of your concentration project and the sources of your ideas. You may refer to specific slides as examples.
I began with simple geometric patterns made with a ruler and a pencil creating a repeating grid. Next, I applied this method to organic forms. I then tried to use more sophisticated materials leading up to gouache. Recently, I began to combine organic and geometric forms.

What medium of media did you use?
My ideas tend to be responses to my working environment and sometimes my ideas come from no obvious source. My interest in this kind of imagery came from a study of the work of M.C. Escher, although I have no embodied perspective.
