Frieze Patterns

This video provides on overview go how frieze patterns are constructed, classified, and used in art. First, we describe how each of the four operators, translation, rotation, reflection, and glide reflection act on an image. Then, we demonstrate the seven unique patters that can be contracted using just these four operators. These are the only seven frieze patterns that can be constructed.We also demonstrate how several combinations of operators are identical to tother combinations or the original image. This shows why there are only 7 patterns. Finally, we show several exempts of frieze patterns found in art from around the world. We then break these patterns down into the operators used to create them in order to classify what pattern type they are.
