Happy new year to everyone. My topic this term is experiencing patterns. I have decided to focus on the artist Matisse who uses a lot of fanciful patterns in his work. I would be grateful if anyone could give me some more ideas. Thanks.

The 'Earth from the Air' exhibiton had loads of environmental pictures that have amazing patterns - I bought 2 copies of the book!
This website has some examples.

I didn't look at the examples before I posted and I'm afraid not many of them are patterned - they are doing a picture of the week too so you might find different examples there. Amazon have a copy of 'Earth from the Air for Children' - might be worth a look at here.
I would certainly recommend the adults' version!
