Set Subjects for 2023/2024
Closes March 2024 for May 2024 – Nature
See WACC Website for definition
Closes May 2024 for July 2024 – Patterns
PATTERNS: Repeating something many times creates a pattern.
The idea is to create a visual unit with no single point of interest that the eye is drawn to.
Any visual element can be used to create a pattern; e.g. colour, shape or texture.
Look for a composition in your image that bests illustrates the pattern.
There is no restriction on natural or man-made elements.
