Draw a repeating pattern

You would like a simple creative task with a clear starting point.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Choose a shape, border, or circular outline to begin with.
2. Repeat a mark or motif, varying it if you like; symmetry is optional.
3. End at any point and describe what you noticed about making the pattern.

An example

I repeat small triangles around a circle, leaving some spaces empty.
