So I’ve been doing cut outs for so long my eyes are getting tired! I’ve done the pink and the blue now and I’m now working on cutting out the final bits of white that are going to go yellow!

I’m going through blades every twenty minutes 🙃

#art #artsky #geometry #islamicart
The same seven hexagon pattern now with gold and silver gilding highlighting the patterns. I’ve cut out sections of the pattern in pink and blue so far and there are just a few white bits left to come out which will have a yellow background

The first ever picture of the Holy Ka'aba was captured in 1880 by a Turkish engineer (Sadiq Bey)!

Disclaimer: This is a historical and religious fact about the earliest known photograph of the Ka'aba.

Looks Like Lego. #Morocco #Minaret #NorthAfrica #ArchitectureLovers #TravelPhotography #CitySquare #PalmTrees #VibrantColors #IslamicArt #Zellige #HistoricBuilding #SunnyDay #smartphonephotography #photography
A vertical, vibrantly coloured photograph of a tall, ornate minaret tower featuring intricate geometric Zellige tiling in pink, blue, and yellow patterns. The minaret rises above a low, arched building with a green-tiled roof, set in a sunny public square framed by tall palm tree trunks and decorative street lamps. Several people are visible sitting on benches and walking in the square below, which features low green hedges and small trees, all under a bright blue sky.

Painter, printmaker and visual artist Jila Peacock spent years translating the poems of Hafez of Shiraz into visual calligraphic images, and then into a BAFTA-nominated film. Learn what inspired her 👇

Doorway to History. #morocco #moroccanarchitecture #arabicart #islamicart #rabat #ornatedoor #arches #stonework #blackandwhitephotography #monochrome #travelphotography #architecturalphotography #smartphonephotography #photography
A striking, symmetrical black and white photograph of an ornate, traditional Moroccan doorway with a horseshoe arch. The large double door is heavily patterned and framed by elaborate carved stonework featuring geometric and scrolling motifs. Two hanging lantern-like sconces flank the door. The surrounding walls are made of large stone blocks, and the roofline above the entrance is topped with decorative crenellations.

Islamic designs have influenced how art looks across the world.

From Islamic artists' use of colour to their eye for geometry and patterns - learn about how Islam has shaped the way the West sees beauty.

I’m still lining out this really complex pattern!

Thinking of throwing the pink dildo print onto it lol

#art #geometry #islamicart
The same set of 5 tessellating hexagons with lots of pencil lines inside them that will eventually be inked and coloured. I could just photocopy these but I really enjoy lining them out and I’m leaving some of this piece uncovered so we’ll see the construction lines too

Polychrome tiling at the Alhambra, Granada (p1 space group, or p3 if colour ignored). #MosaicMonday #Tiles #Symmetry #IslamicArt #Alhambra #Photography
Photograph of a geometric pattern comprising orange, brown, blue, green, black, and white tiles, each of which takes the form of either a wavy triangle, a hexagon, or a six-pointed star. They are arranged in a pattern that would display three-fold rotational symmetry (but no mirror symmetry) were it not for alternation of the tile colours. If no colour were present, the pattern would therefore conform to the p3 space group, but colour reduces this to the p1 space group.

There seems to be a definite influence of Islamic art to its design, especially in the latticework of the central arched panel.

A view through a large, rounded archway into a bright, white courtyard of traditional Moroccan architecture. The courtyard walls are painted white with a distinctive blue trim and feature smaller arched alcoves, dark wooden doors, and a low, round stone fountain at the centre. The floor is covered in intricate, reflective blue and white geometric tiles. Above the courtyard, a section of the bright blue sky with wispy clouds is visible, framed by the arch of the entrance.
