This project is the follow up to the introduction to Islamic art in September!  The students used an on-line graphics app called Geocone  to create a geometric design with radial symmetry. The image was printed then traced and turned for repetition onto a transparency with black Sharpie marker. The design was colored with color Sharpies to create a vibrant pattern.

To create a façade for the glass, a shape was drawn on a folded black paper and then cut out. Using a white Prismacolor pencil, the students drew a design that reflected Islamic art values. Some students chose to cut additional designs with Exacto knives, allowing for more of the color to show through. When complete, the glass was taped to the façade. Including the introduction in September, this project took 7 weeks to complete! The finished pieces are now hanging on the windows in the big room!
