"Allah is beautiful, and He loves beauty"

So says the Islamic 'hadith' which speaks of beauty as a divine attribute.
Islamic art visually reflects such beauty in it's three main elements - geometry, floral patterns and calligraphy.

The primary reason for sacred art and architecture is to create a contemplative atmosphere of prayerfulness by which the beautiful, albeit transient, forms of this world can act as a reminder of the eternal divine presence.

This practical drawing course will concentrate upon Islamic geometric patterns. The patterns will be drawn with only compasses and ruler.

Tom Bree is an experienced teacher of Sacred Geometry. He is based primarily at the Princes School of Traditional Arts, London.

All materials included. All abilities welcome, but particularly suitable for beginners to Sacred Geometry.

Please wear clothes suitable for a studio environment and bring a bag or portfolio for taking work home after the class.
