TILES: An Artistic Exploration into Islamic Geometric Patterns

This research project intends to educate my community about the art of Islamic geometric patterns, which I first experienced within the tiles of the Alhambra Palace in Grenada, Spain. We will educate by exploring the significance of these patterns and analyzing various styles of this art form. We will use two methods. Firstly, I will create a series of 4 paintings depicting these geometric patterns. These paintings serve as examples of these patterns allowing viewers to analyze and visually explore on their own. Secondly, I will create a website where each work is complemented by a written piece describing the style depicted in that work, its significance, and its origins. QR-codes will accompany each painting connecting viewers directly to the online work
