I also decided to look at Islamic patterns because I was fascinated by the Geometric influence used to create them. Islamic pattern are known to have a very complicated formation and I was excited by the challenge of this if I was to make own interpretations. Islamic Patterns normally consist of four basic shapes that are repeated to construct more complicated looking patterns.
' circles and interlaced circles; squares or four-sided polygons; the ubiquitous star pattern, ultimately derived from squares and triangles inscribed in a circle; and multisided polygon '
Islamic Architecture
Islamic Pattern are usually used to embellish Islamic buildings and monuments to express their culture and give them a unique appearance.
These abstract designs don't only adorn the surfaces of monumental Islamic Architecture but they are also used as a decorative element on a vast array of subjects. Geometric ornamentation is not only popular in the Islamic World, the sources of the intricate patterns already existed among the Greeks and Romans.
For my project I planned to make my own interpretations of Islamic art by exploring different ways to use simple shapes to create the form of a complicated pattern.
I did this buy cutting out a stencil of a star shape and printing it on fabric using heat transfer. I then scanned an image of the pattern of the fabric into the computer and edited it by layering the image with multiple replicas on top of it at different angles transforming it into a different looking shape.
And this was one of my results
