Description

Elaborate geometric designs based on repeating circles, squares and hexagons have traditionally embellished architecture and places of worship since ancient times.

In this class you will learn how to draw six intricate ornamental window panels from Damascus, by breaking the geometry down into small repeating unit tiles.

I will be guiding you in stages on how to draw six basic geometric grids using a compass. I will teach you how to thicken your construction lines on tracing paper. Then you will learn how to weave each individual tile, before replicating it to create the six complete window layouts, ready to decorate in your own style.

Although the complete patterns are intricate enough for advanced geometers, the class is also suitable for the less confident artists due to the simple step by step instructional approach.
