This course introduces participants to the essential principles of geometry and number in nature. It includes the study of the three primary symmetry groups which embody the triangle and hexagon, the square and octagon and the pentagon and decagon.
Participants will use compasses and ruler to draw a variety of patterns mainly from the Islamic tradition and the syllabus will slowly move from more simple patterns onto more complex ones as the course progresses.
The use of geometry as a symbolic language and a contemplative form in the spiritual imagination will also be an on-going theme throughout the course. Participants will finish the course with a collection of around 12 completed patterns.
