Arabesque geometric computer editing. Pattern in Islamic Art. Methods of Design | Pattern in Islamic Art. Pattern. Course designed by Pippa Drew and Dorothy Wallace Pattern: An interdisciplinary course in textile design and elementary group theory. This course will focus on the interplay between the art of designing repeat patterns and the mathematics of analyzing those patterns in terms of their symmetries. The exercises the students will do in the class emphasize discovery through cooperative and individual work. This class is 50% a studio art class and, therefore, requires the production of designs in print media and paint. Sufficient time and instruction is provided for students to acquire the necessary skills in this area.

Islamic Art. Geometric motifs were popular with Islamic artists and designers in all parts of the world, for decorating almost every surface, whether walls or floors, pots or lamps, book covers or textiles. As Islam spread from nation to nation and region to region, Islamic artists combined their penchant for geometry with existing traditions, creating a new and distinctive Islamic art. This art expressed the logic and order inherent in the Islamic vision of the universe. The wide spectrum of intellectual treasures allowed Islamic scholars to quickly embrace Greek philosophy and mathematics, translating and disseminating this knowledge for posterity. The works of Euclid and Pythagoras were among the first to be translated into Arabic. The study of geometry also fed an ardent preoccupation with the stars and astronomy. The development of this new distinctive art, in part may have been due to the discouragement of images in Islam on basis that it could lead to idolatry.
Pattern & symbols. The Tiles of Infinity. The intricate tilework on that building inspired him to dig into the history of Islamic art, and eventually to prove that a number of medieval Islamic designs had at their heart patterns that modern mathematicians have only recently been able to describe. In fact, the young physics whiz found on Islamic buildings the very geometric forms identified by British mathematician Sir Roger Penrose as the foundation elements for elaborate, non-repeating patterns. Lu’s research shows that these patterns had been applied long before Penrose’s discovery—in fact, more than 500 years earlier. Conventional patterns that completely cover a surface, such as those found in floor tilings, are repetitive: Any patch can be moved a certain distance to cover an exactly matching part elsewhere in the pattern. Some shapes, such as hexagons, can only be arranged in such periodic patterns.
In 1984, a physicist for the first time observed a three-dimensional example of a Penrose pattern in the material world. Islamic Design, Arabesque and Geometry. Surface patterns on works of art created in the Islamic world have been prized for centuries for their beauty, refinement, harmony, intricacy, and complexity. Arabesque is a western word for the Islamic art of zakhrafa, which consists of geometric designs embellished by more organic motifs such as vines.
It is an amazing world of geometry, patterns, shapes and their interaction with each other. If you teach a child to draw a an exact square with out ruler measurements and only with a compass and straight edge, if you teach them about circumference, radius, well you can teach it in a lot of different ways, but doing it with Arabesque and Islamic design is more fun, challenging and develops critical thinking. I have gathered a few resources for using Islamic design as a base for geometry. I am not giving the suggestions for year group or key stages, as many of these can be used by children of different levels. 1. Shapes Craft This one is for the younger ones. 2.

Baku – Arabesque in stone Stone decoration of Baku architecture is superb. It is here when ancient craft of stone carving serves Islamic art showing the great level of craftsmanship and an elegance of artistic expression.
The Morrocan Pavillian in Putrajaya, Malaysia In recreating the Moroccan ambience for the contemporary scene, the Astaka Morocco, set to become a prominent landmark in Putrajaya, showcases the unique Moroccan and Moorish architecture, which is incidentally believed to be first of its kind in the ASEAN region.Development of the Astaka Morocco is an idea mooted by the Malaysian Government. Construction of the building symbolizes the strong diplomatic ties between the two countries especially with its people and culture. A World of Stars – Decorative Art in Morocco Eight Pointed Stars This text has been taken from the book Arabesques – decorative art in Morocco by Jean-Marc Caste´ra; Franc¸oise Peuriot; Philippe Ploquin; Kirk McElhearn.
Arabesque Art of Islamic Spain. BLOSSOMS - Arabesque Groups: Where Art Meets Mathematics (Arabic) The Craig Web Experience -- PhD Thesis. Computer Graphics and Geometric Ornamental Design Craig S. Kaplan. PhD thesis, 2002 Inspired by the wonderful page Robert Glenn Scharein has dedicated to his PhD thesis Interactive Topological Drawing, I decided to give my own thesis a happy little home on the internet.
Like Robert, I wanted to include some of the figures from the thesis with which I was particularly pleased. From this page, you can download my thesis in a couple of different formats suitable for on-screen viewing or printing. If you enjoy looking at pretty thesis pages, I also recommend the finely illustrated work of Sascha Rogmann: Wachstumsfunktionen von Pflasterungen. Abstract Throughout history, geometric patterns have formed an important part of art and ornamental design.
The power to further the study and practice of ornament stems from three sources. In this dissertation, I present my research in the area of computer-generated geometric art and ornament.

(a) Original image, Extracted edges by (b) Canny method, (c) the proposed method. For quantitative evaluation, three factors were used: completeness, precision and accuracy.Completeness measures the number of identified edge pixels by each method to the total number of expected edge pixels, which will be identified manually. Precision is the ratio of correctly identified edgepixels to the total expected. Table 1. Comparison completeness, precision and accuracy between proposed method and Canny method.
