What does repeated designs mean?

Answer 1

Any organism, animate or inanimate, has a definite shape and a meaning attached to it. These shapes can be artistically viewed as containing potentially a design element as created by nature originally, despite all objects, organic or inorganic, mobile or immobile; shapes that evolved as man-made, too, are design based. For the purpose of art these forms, or shapes can be either viewed as in three dimension, or as singular flat graphic patterns. These impressions when employed or engaged in succession as repeated images when painted, printed, or even woven in a specific mathematical order, or as a series, or as waffle, produce a certain optical effect of unity and harmony, in combination with a judicious choice of colours. The resultant composition can be contrived so as to serve a specific function, or purpose artistically. Since the imagery is repeated in one way or the other, they come to be terned as a, 'Repeat pattern'.
