(lizplummer.com/blog/category/city-guilds/)As I was looking through at many of the different patterns I found some trends. Wall coverings were similar on a general website because all of them had a floral pattern or very floral looking abstract pattern. Fabric prints as well had a very general pattern, either having floral prints, stripes, or other repetitions of something. What they both have in common is that usually these floral or organic shapes were patterned in a grid so that they were evenly balanced and distributed on the wall or cloth. Floor tiles also followed a grid, but some of the tiles would break into other geometric shapes to cause a pattern effect. Overall a grid pattern can be seen in the floor tile examples that I found. Then I looked up Islamic patterns knowing from class that these patterns were solely suppose to be nonsubjective. I found it really interesting that none of the pieces I saw from Islamic art were subjective or suggestive, but still had the same rhythm and effect as floral prints.
