- Chart showing examples of patterns
- Colored construction paper
- Scissors
- Glue
- Markers or crayons
rationale for the Lesson
Understanding patterns and designs is crucial for developing creativity and problem-solving skills. This lesson provides a foundation for future art projects and appreciation of design in various aspects of life.
Prerequisite/Previous Knowledge
The teacher will begin by asking pupils to identify patterns they see in the classroom or on their clothes. A brief discussion will follow, leading into the lesson’s topic.
Lesson Content
Designing Pattern Form Basic Shapes
Patterns and designs are shapes and colors arranged in a specific way. We see them on clothes, bedsheets, and many other things.
What are Patterns And Designs?
Patterns and designs are created by arranging shapes and colors in a specific order. They are found everywhere!
Types of Patterns
Patterns can be categorized based on their characteristics and the elements they incorporate.These include:
The following are types of patterns:
- Geometric patterns: These use shapes like squares, circles, triangles, and rectangles.
- Floral patterns: These patterns use flowers and plants.
- Abstract patterns: These don’t represent specific objects.
- Animal patterns: These patterns use animal motifs, such as stripes, spots, or silhouettes.
- Cultural patterns: These patterns reflect specific cultural symbols, motifs, or artistic styles.
Creating Basic Shape Patterns
To make a pattern, use simple shapes like squares, circles, and triangles. Arrange them in different ways, like a grid (grid pattern) or a spiral. You can also use basic shapes to create many different patterns.

Lesson Keywords
- Pattern – A repeated design or sequence.
- Design – A plan or drawing produced to show the look and function of something.
- Geometric – Relating to geometry, using shapes like squares, circles, and triangles.
- Floral – relating to flowers.
- Abstract – not representing things realistically.
Lesson Evaluation
To evaluate the learning, the teacher asks pupils to:
- What are patterns and designs?
- Give an example of a pattern you see on clothes or bedsheets.
- how can you make a simple pattern using shapes?
- Name three types of patterns.
- Where else can you find patterns in your daily life?
Assignment/Homework
- Find examples of different types of patterns in your home or neighborhood.
- Draw a pattern using basic shapes and color it.
- Write a short paragraph about why patterns are important in art and design.
Differentiation
- For slower learners: Provide one-on-one assistance and simpler pattern examples.
- For advanced learners: Challenge them to create more complex patterns using a wider variety of shapes and colors.
- For visual/auditory/kinesthetic learners: Use visual aids,verbal explanations,and hands-on activities to cater to different learning styles.
Note for Teachers
Encourage creativity and exploration in pattern making.Provide ample materials and guidance to support pupils in creating their own unique designs. Emphasize the importance of patterns in everyday life and art.
