See a new pattern

Patterns, patterns, everywhere. Children explore the wonderful world of circles, squares, triangles, shapes, and patterns that fill our world at the Brooklyn Museum on April 7 and 8, from 2:30 to 3:30 pm.

They are all over: in our clothing, instruments, traditions, and culture. They are the patterns that shape our world and influence our lives. These events, which kick off the exhibit “Pattern Wizardry,” on display till Sept. 2, invites children 5 and older to learn more with activities focusing on spiral, branch, and linear patterns. After discovering the wonderful world of patterns, the children make a craft and take it home.
