This is a course about creating Arts and Crafts patterns – like the patterns by William Morris and his fellow designers of the Arts and Crafts Movement during the last decades of the 19th century.
As the Arts and Crafts style include many different pattern types I have created a series of courses about this topic. In each part of the series you will learn how to create Arts and Crafts styled patterns in a specific category:
Trailing, Serpentine, Scrolled and Paired – and at the same time learn more about advanced pattern design principles and techniques.
This is the second course of the series and about the Serpentine Arts and Crafts category – which is characterized by a meandering structure and highly stylized motifs.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN CLASS:
- The influences behind the Serpentine pattern category
- The characteristics of Serpentine patterns; structure and direction, layers, pattern composition, repetition, repeat layout, typical motifs and color schemes
- My step-by-step process for creating a Serpentine Arts and Crafts pattern – from planning to creating the pattern swatch and recoloring
- Techniques and tools for creating and coloring your motifs
- How to create two types of Serpentine patterns – with a diagonal and a vertical flow
- How to create a foreground and background layer of motifs
- How to draw different typical Serpentine branches, flowers, leaves and background motifs
- How to effectively create a classic “picotage” (dotted) background/pattern
As always we will do some drawing exercises to practice and explore your pattern motifs.
