This piece "Swans" by M.C. Escher is a great example of pattern. He uses different colors in order to make the shapes look different and as if they are going into a symbol resembling the infinity sign. All of these shapes, are in fact the same, and are considered by him to be swans. When in different colors though, they almost appear to be different shapes. This is a great piece by an even greater artist and in my opinion, represents pattern very well.

I like your exapmple. As you sad the swans look differently but after a closer look they are the same. He created a mirror immage.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine what patience it must have taken to draw each bird so precisely...and yet to make them transform from a picture of the bird to a puzzle piece and then back again, and also to have them bend and turn the way they do. Incredible.
