Doodle Patterns from Nature

All of the great artists have been inspired by nature’s designs. When I taught elementary art, I always took my students outside at the beginning of the year. They were asked to find geometric shapes and repeated patterns in plants and textures made by nature. Try it in your back yard. Pretend that everything you see had to be turned into geometric shapes. What would it look like? Is there a pattern repeated? How?  In what direction?
