DISCUSSION: pattern with shape
What is pattern? What makes something a pattern? Repetition.
Where do we see pattern: wrapping paper, clothing, wallpaper
Do we see pattern in this room? Do we see pattern in art? Fiber art?

ARTIST: Paul Klee
1879 – 1940)
Swiss painter of German nationality.
His highly individual style was influenced by movements in art that included expressionism, cubism, and surrealism.
Klee was a natural draftsman who experimented with and eventually mastered color theory, and wrote extensively about it.
His works reflect his dry humor and his sometimes child-like perspective, his personal moods and beliefs, and his musicality.
He and his friend, the Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, both taught at the German Bauhaus school of art and architecture.
