Patterns, Set #01: North Limestone Neighborhood

Our ultimate goal during this semester of Community Engagements is to create three murals that will help to illustrate the stories present in each of the locations they will be placed. To reach this goal, we are creating stencils based on patterns that we find within each environment. Each member of the class is assigned to find a pattern to use as inspiration for their stencil, take a picture of it, and then recreate it snowflake-style with an 8.5x8.5 inch piece of paper.

This collection represents the patterns found in the North Limestone neighborhood that were used to make our first attempts at stencils.

Clay's man-hole cover pattern.


April's pattern - the "Beware of Dog" sign.


Cody's "rising sun" pattern (above the window).



Another window pattern by Blair.


Katie's picket fence.


Two porch front pictures used by Kremena.


And the last three images, Kurt's.
