XUAN CHEN Task2 —Taking Pattern
In the third one, I liquefied the pictures and made a symmetrical effect.
Inspired by the details of the feather, I painted it in different colors and kept overlapping to form the structure of the feather.
Inspired by a tulip I saw in the garden, I drew it and extracted its shape, I overlapped it and liquefied it to create different patterns.
Reflection：
In this pattern task, I expanded more abilities to transform paintings into patterns, and I better mastered pattern effects such as intercepting, rotating, changing painting style, and liquefying. And in this process, I have better mastered the use of different computer software and drawing software.
I found that Photoshop and other software have a lot of development potential, making it very easy for me to make a lot of effects I want and adjust according to my ideas, but I am not yet proficient in computer software, I will try my best to develop the potential of different software pairs, make more different patterns, and provide more inspiration for my fabric research.
I will also work harder to explore different new ways to produce more patterns, this time the methods I used in the task are relatively basic, some of which the teacher talked about in class, and some of which I explored when using the software.I will try my best to explore new ways to design some of the patterns and integrate them into my own designs.

With this task, I think you can already use photoshop to change patterns and create new patterns. You use a lot of techniques like intercepting, rotating, changing painting style, and liquefying. Maybe next time you can try combining different patterns to create new patterns.
I especially like your first set of patterns, you used photoshop to make your paintings into different painting styles to show different visual effects. This gives your paintings more possibilities. Some of these colors look very sci-fi like cyberpunk, plus your graphics themselves look very sci-fi. I think this is a good try. Completely different from the style of your paintings before, I really love them.
Your feathers are also beautifully drawn, it’s very colorful. I’m curious what material you painted it with, it looks like a real feather with a glossy finish. Your color combination looks great too.
I think maybe you can try more different media, it seems a little monotonous right now. Photoshop has a lot of different tools next time we can try different functions together and combine them to get more patterns.
