Creating a Repeat Pattern
During this project participants will create a half-drop repeat pattern from drawings of primary source objects.
The session will focus on four main tasks:
- We will investigate and co-author suitable themes
- We will select interesting and appropriate primary sources
- We will follow a simple step-by-step process to create a half-drop repeat pattern
- We will consider pattern in the context of our world and opportunities for its use
About Joe Caslin
Joe Caslin is an Irish street artist, art teacher and activist. Best known for his beautifully rendered pencil drawings, which manifest as towering pieces of street art. His highly accessible work engages directly with the social issues of modern Ireland, on an unavoidable scale. Caslin confronts the subjects of suicide, drug addiction, economic marginalisation, marriage equality, stigma in mental health, direct provision, institutional power, consent and most recently, the effects of the Covid19 pandemic on young people. The monochrome drawings Caslin creates live with us and against many of us for some time before washing away. They hold a mirror up to the kind of society that we are, whilst asking us individually what kind of society we want to be a part of.
