For example, I want describe something what I see at the wall or at the frame of a window. Look at the ornamental patterns what are ON the wall (the patterns are painted ON the wall). Is it right?

AT usually points to a location.
I met him AT the elevator.
I looked AT the picture.
I am AT the store.
I look AT the wall and see the ornamental patterns.
It describes where something is located.
ON usually means atop (on top of) or upon.
I met him AT the elevator, which is located ON the 3rd floor.
I looked AT the picture that hung ON the wall.
I am AT the store, but you are still ON the bus.
I look AT the wall and see the ornamental patterns painted ON it.
I hope this helps.

I love the patterns painted on my kitchen wall. Around my kitchen window is some climbing ivy. When I looked through my kitchen window today I saw a man in the park urinating onto a tree.
