Patterns Of Australia

Patterns of Australia represents a series of Australian landscapes and habitats (including the rainforest, desert, waterhole, coastal/ocean, bush, river, sky, wetlands, night-time and wildflowers) in "patterns", as seen through the eyes of acclaimed indigenous artist Bronwyn Bancroft. Ages 5+

From boulders to bee hives, from skyscrapers to coral, indigenous artist Bronwyn Bancroft explores the shapes that form Australia.

Deep love of Australia inspires Bronwyn Bancroft's poetry and the richly layered hues of Colours of Australia. Each line speaks a different voice, each image stirs a different mood, and all combine to evoke the miracle of color with which we are surrounded.

Australia is a continent of many and varied landscapes. Each of them is dramatic and all inspire awe and reverence. In this glorious book, Aboriginal artist Bronwyn Bancroft explores both the country and her feelings for it.

In this new approach to offering design resource material, both the authentic work from the museum and the copy-right-free art are on facing pages so the original colors and lines can be studied.

A playful introduction to color patterns invites children to sort teddy bears by color and arrange them into patterns of two colors, three colors and more until a bear-pattern marches across the page, revealing to readers how to use patterns to skip count, add and multiply.
