LEVEL 1 : UNIT 3 - CIRCULAR PATTERNS
UNIT OVERVIEW
The focus of Unit 3 is CIRCULAR PATTERNS.
In Unit 3 we examine how to build a range of different fan shaped and circular patterns that all use the same system, yet create greatly varied results.
We guide you through a sequence of three systematic drawing exercises followed by a step by step demonstration of how to build a fan shaped mosaic sample. This unit consolidates techniques learnt in both Units 1 and 2.
Understanding how to set this pattern up from the beginning by yourself in a variety of ways opens the door for you to create an almost endless range of circular patterns.

Video Presentation
In Lesson 1 we examine how to set up a basic fan shaped pattern working from a simple 4 x 4 grid.
Format: Video Tutorials
Difficulty: Low
LESSON 2 : CIRCULAR PATTERN DRAWING 2
In Lesson 2 we examine how to set up a shallow fan shaped pattern working from a simple 4 x 8 grid.
Format: Video Tutorial
Difficulty: Low
LESSON 3 : CIRCULAR PATTERN DRAWING 3
In Lesson 3 we examine how to set up a more complex circular pattern pattern working from the same simple 4 x 4 grid as the first sample.
You may see some similarities between elements of this design and the Circular Pattern in the Taster Tutorial.

PURCHASE UNITS INDIVIDUALLY
I am very impressed with AoA. The lessons are well organized, sequenced and demonstrated.
The filming is very professional (great music to accompany all).
Being a higher ed, educator, I can tell Caitlin actually knows how to teach, how to break down the skills into sequenced steps, with a focus on their development, accompanied by thoughtful commentary.
I mention this because I’ve enrolled in many mosaic training workshops/classes and most of the actual instruction is fragmented and basically “not very good”. The people running these programs are not teachers, but instead think because they consider themselves to be trained they can just show you what they are doing. And it’s hard to learn from them.
