9.5.11 - Decorative Painting

When I was teaching an adult class back in the spring, I stumbled across a book called The World of Ornament, an encyclopedia of textiles, decorative objects and patterned works from different cultures. The book inspired a printmaking lesson but I kept rambling about it to other people, and a friend was kind enough to buy it for me. Where others might respond to intricate patterns with, "that gives me a headache", I think, "That looks like hours of repetitive fun!" As such, I started creating patterns and painting them on some unused terracotta pots that were in my apartment. The one below is still in progress.
