Broug Ateliers for Islamic Art & Architecture-Lesson 1

Geometry Lesson 1

1. Draw a circle with diagonal, vertical and horizontal lines. Draw a square that contains the circle	2. Draw four pairs of lines that start where the horizontal and vertical lines meet the circle & square. Let these lines extend through the intersections that are indicated by the red circles	3. Draw two squares within the circle
4. Draw two pairs of diagonal parallel lines. Let these lines extend through the intersections that are indicated by the red circles	5. Draw another two pairs of parallel lines, this time they are horizontal and vertical, Let them extend through the same intersections as in the previous diagram	6. All the necessary construction lines have now been drawn. With a different colour pen, draw the line sections as shown in the diagram
7. With the same colour pen as in the previous image, draw the remaining line sections as shown in the diagram	8. This shows the final design. The drawing below shows what appears when this design is repeated in a 3 x 3 format
