  • I want to give you a taste of how you can draw a good deal of sixfold Islamic geometric patterns on an Isometric grid, a tiling of equilateral triangles. This grid can be drawn using a compass and ruler on different scales. If you don’t wish to draw it, you can easily print, buy or borrow this paper also known as “triangular dotted paper” found in many a maths department’s store cupboard!
    Here are the five I show you in the video with links to David Wade’s photo archive:
    Pattern number 1:
    TRA 0503 on patterninislamicart.com/archi...
    TRA 0507 on patterninislamicart.com/archi...
    MOR 0814 on patterninislamicart.com/archi...
    Pattern number 2:
    EGY1625 on patterninislamicart.com/archi...
    Pattern number 3:
    TUR 0312 on patterninislamicart.com/archi...
    TRA 0303 on patterninislamicart.com/archi...
    EGY 0334x on patterninislamicart.com/archi...

    Pattern number 4:
    IND0416 on patterninislamicart.com/archi...

    Pattern number 5:
    IND0511 on patterninislamicart.com/archi...
    IND0919 on patterninislamicart.com/archi...
    If you want to know how many more can be drawn visit, Brian Wichmann’s website, www.tilingsearch.org. It enables you to do a general search, I picked the final option under “All angles of the pattern a multiple of:” 60 degrees, pressed “Submit” and received images of 202 patterns, all ones that can be drawn on Isometric paper - amazing!

    This is beyond fascinating!!! As a child, I never imagined such beautiful patterns could be drawn in such a simple manner, just by using a ruler and a compass. Thank you for this tutorial ♥

    Thank you very much, Samira. You are a terrific, clear teacher and with my love of art and geometry you inspire me to try new things :) Art + logic = beauty. As well as painting these as you do so beautifully these designs would also work very well for patchwork and quilting.

    These are called tree foil weaving. Hexagonal weaving is one of the most complex strategies in parametric façade design. Arabs already mastered this craft. Our contribution could start with the projections over columns and curved surfaces. Cathedrals in England have few of these.
    Excellent work as usual. :3

    • @samiramian
      @samiramian  Рік тому

      Thank you! Again I'm not sure what your terms are as I know trefoil weavinga nd patterns to be something else. Also Arabs were only some of the peoples who excelled and moved this art form forward... many cultures spanning europe, africa and asia were involved.
