Let's create our own geometric design! Pick a value that you have seen being exemplified this year through the story of Islam.  Create a tile (consider the colours you use) that show that value. Once you have created your tile, please post with an explanation of the value

Tile decoration: Decoration with tiles in geometric patterns and inscriptions were generally used for courtyards and interiors. The tiles can be seen in most Islamic architecture from the late middle ages. In modern construction the Spaniards still use tiles (azulejos).

Think about the Islamic Geometry we saw in some of the artifacts at the Aga Khan Museum! But it is also all around and within the building!

Artesonado ceilings: Artesonado ceilings are made out of intricately joined wooden ceiling forming geometric patterns. The ceilings often consist of many hundred or even thousands of small pieces of carved wood. The artesonado ceilings start appearing in the 13th century and are found in both Islamic Spain and in Northern Africa. The Alhambra has several excellent examples of Artesonado ceilings.

Mathematics, Geometry

This brief clip suggests another use for the trigonometry and geometry that were developed among Muslims in the medieval period.It uses as an example the Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain.The geographic region was called al-Andalus.The current palace dates to the mid-13th century.It is presently a major tourist attraction.

The video shows a few examples of tiles, but is too brief to explain any of the mathematics involved.

Evaluation:

"Muslims abstain from painting figures of humans and animals" is inaccurate.These representations are rarely found im mosques, but are often found elsewhere.However, complex geometrical patterns are often found in Islamic art.The designs are not only "Arabic", but found throughout the Islamic world, as well as other cultural spheres.

The presentation on the use of trigonometry and geometry in designing and planning the tile work in Alhambra is accurate, although the video is too brief to do anything other than merely mention trigonometry and geometry.

There is no such thing as a "lost" golden age of Islam. This sort of construction distances a "glorious" past from the present, which should be avoided.There are multiple cultural high points across the Islamic lands; the Alhambra is only one material example.

QFI's Mosaic Tilemaker application will introduce students to fundamental concepts of Islamic art and architecture through exploration and creation of mosaic tile art. The app will provide historical information about the centrality of repeating geometric designs in the art and architecture of the Islamic world, and users will engage in an interactive learning process exploring concepts like tessellation, symmetry, and calligraphy in mosaics.

The value I chose is DIVERSITY. This picture I created symbolizes DIVERSITY by showing all of the shapes coming together. I also added green for nature and red for passionate.

I chose these colours because they represent nature and willpower. During covid, Nature has blossomed and many animals that have not been seen in certain places have been seen. During covid, people have also shown willpower to succeed and never give up even when it gets hard. I also chose red and green because they are the colours of ismalis.

I chose these colours because: danger of the pandemic, to stay safe from the pandemic, we all need to stay strong, we need to be flexible, good luck and positivity. The overall reason I used these colours is because we need to stay positive during the pandemic.

I would like to symbolize diversity and love! We learned a lot about enabling environments and how it takes more than, just the environment but, the people, the coleuses I used help portray that. Yellow-enlighmint, clarity, optimums
Blue-reliable, dignity Purple-imagnitive protective and wise, green - Health growth healing!

I chose peace as my value. I used blue for loyalty and gold for compassion. Then I used white and green for safety. And finally I used turquoise for friendship. Arsh

I chose these colours because this made me think of diversity because there is multiple different designs and colours and ideas and different ideas come from a bunch of different people of different backgrounds.

Indigo stands for devotion. Today, on Laylat al-Qadr, we should devote a lot of time to our religion.

Yellow stands for joy. Today is a very joyous occasion and we should make the most of it.

White stands for secuirty and safeness. We should feel this way because today the angels are coming down and they will pray for us.
