ISLAMIC ART

 

Ceramic tile patterns

The sessions will be focused on the fascination and beauty of Islamic art. The workshop is divided into several sections which include a short talk on Islamic architectural structures, history and origins focusing more on the artistic side rather than religious, practical work including tracing and brushwork techniques and production of work by the students themselves on tiles using enamel and fine pointed brushes.

Throughout the sessions a digital projection screen is used to illustrate the beautiful artistic architecture and inspire the students in their work.

The sessions can be adapted to all age groups from age 10 years and upwards. The lectures have been very popular in schools and with adults and provide knowledge and experience of Middle Eastern art and heritage.

 

 

Arabic calligraphy

This is a unique opportunity for students and adults to learn about the history and different styles of Arabic calligraphy. The session included digital slides of masterpieces in Arabic scripted calligraphy, a demonstration on preparing the materials and a practical session where students produce their own work using design and the Arabic alphabet.

The lecture can be adapted to all age groups from 10 years upwards and provides a great experience and opportunity to learn about another language and culture.
