Unlock the secrets of color perception and expression in this illuminating one-day workshop. Explore the intersection of historic theories and modern perspectives to cultivate your own artistic vision. Through engaging exercises and discussions, create tangible examples to deepen your understanding and inspire ongoing color exploration beyond the classroom.
This hands-on course will teach you how to construct the geometric shapes that have played a dominant role in Islamic art and design over the centuries. With a compass and ruler, you will learn how to create the circles, triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, and their segments that underpin the non-figural decoration of both objects and structures in Islamic art.
Each class will begin with a lecture on the history and geometric principles of a particular pattern, followed by a step-by-step tutorial in constructing the design.
Visits to the Islamic Art galleries at the Art Institute of Chicago museum focusing on pieces currently on display will act as a source for inspiration and discussion
