Patterns are always repetitions of elements. The elements are sorted in a certain way. That’s the rhythm. try to describe the rhythm. cut your pattern in its smallest elements. How many elements do you have. in which way are they composed? write a short text about the composition. | Patterns are always repetitions of elements. The elements are sorted in a certain way.

''cobblestone'' (photo cc-by-sa by a2t [http://www.flickr.com/photos/a2t/]) | |||
Cobblestone pavements are often laid in interesting patterns like the one shown above. | |||
The stones are placed in arcs which are repeated to the inside and outside of the arc's circle and in similarly oriented arcs at their endpoints. | |||
Due to the irregularities in the stone's sizes a random component is added to the pattern, making it harder to decode while still keeping it repetitive. | |||
