Art and Geography

Picture
"Art and human geography have long been intertwined."
Please read this blog post Art and Geography by Tim Cresswell
(from the 
Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative)

Geometry Patterns

Islamic geometric patterns are intricate designs created by repeating and combining basic geometric shapes like circles, squares, stars, and polygons. These patterns are a prominent form of non-figurative Islamic art, often found in architecture, woodwork, ceramics, carpets, and book covers. They reflect the Islamic principle of Divine Unity, with designs often appearing infinite and without a clear beginning or end. nts and repeated motifs, creating a sense of harmony and order. 

In the Google Folder Button below, you will find directions for making five different patterns with accompanying templates.
