Description

Geometric art has traditionally graced and inspired architecture for thousands of years. Geometric structure, symmetry and proportions were often used to design buildings important to civilisations across all of history, such as places of worship and palaces.

In this class I will be guiding you step by step how to draw this geometric stone carving from a tombstone in Türkiye. I will teach you how to construct a circular grid of seven adjacent circles using a compass. Then you will learn how to draw four different designs either as standalone patterns or as part of the full roundel.

Then I will demonstrate several variations of decorating the stone carving so you can join along and make your art come alive in your own style.

This class is suitable for all levels and it includes instructions of the full roundel as well as the individual motifs, which can then be incorporated in your future artworks.
