What is a 'Motif'?
Patterns are usually formed by repeating single
unit of design
(made up of
lines, shapes, forms, colours
and
textures
).
This
unit of a design
(that can be repeated over and over again) is sometimes called '
motif'
.
Above is the
motif
repeated to obtain the pattern used to create the fabric design on the left.
