Pattern & Texture

Pattern, we see it everywhere. In nature, we can see a pattern in the way petals form on a rose, the way leaves form on a tree limb. Pattern is everywhere.  It's the repetition of a visual element or module in a regular and anticipated pattern.

Texture on the other hand, is the survace quality of objects that appeals to the tactile sense, for instance..the thorn on the rose, the bark on the tree.

Pattern can create an illusion of texture, but texture itself is associated with touch.
