Draw and tile Islamic geometric patterns in a zellige design




Draw and tile Islamic geometric patterns in a zellige design

In this course I teach you how to construct five Islamic Geometric patterns using a compass and a ruler.

I will also provide you with a step by step pdf tutorial for each pattern to supplement the video demonstrations.


In each unit you will learn to construct and outline an Islamic geometric pattern.

This course consists of 6 units:

- 3 easy patterns

- 2 complex patterns

- 1 layout


This course is divided into 2 stages:

1) The first one is to learn how to construct all five patterns. The starting point of all the 5 patterns is the same. For example, I'm drawing on an A3 sheet of paper so my radius is 11 cm.


Each pattern is a level up from the previous.


2) The second stage is to construct them again but this time on a smaller scale so that they can fit on a single sheet of paper. This is when you will learn how to construct the layout.

Once the layout is ready you will construct each pattern one more time to give them the right proportions and thanks to the layout you will know exactly where to put them


At the end of the course you can also add the colours of your choice and step up your game.


This course is suitable for people with previous experience with compass and ruler and with an interest in the geometric patterns they have seen in and around the Islamic world.
