This assignment was time-consuming, but I didn’t struggle too much with it. I enjoyed learning the many different ways to create patterns with paper because all of the new ways allow for new possibilities in my projects/art making. I think that I disliked the cells the most because it seemed less precise than the others, but I will use the cell technique if needed in a design. I think that I will need more practice before using any of these techniques on a final design, but I like the idea of having these techniques at my repertoire.
