Phase 2: For the second phase of the Islamic Art project, Students sketch five different calligraphies (different ways of writing the verse in Arabic) of the verse of Quran they want to do for this project. For inspiration, go to library on Edmodo, open the Islamic Art folder and start sketching your calligraphy ideas!
Students will have separate grade for each phase of this project. Then they will start their final project, combining the design and the calligraphy in a creative and unique style. Students decide what medium to color with. If they choose paint, the teacher will provide a canvas for them.
Materials: #2 pencil ■ paper ■ Acrylic paint ■ Paintbrush ■ Canvas ■ Color Pencil ■ Markers
Vocabulary:
Islamic Art: This art encompasses the visual arts produced from the 7th century onwards by people who lived within the territory that was inhabited by or ruled by culturally Islamic populations. Islamic art seeks to portray the meaning and essence of things, rather than just their physical form.
Islamic Geometric Patterns: Foliage and linear geometric patterns that are combined in a single design. They adopt designs that seem clearly derived from vegetal arabesque ones. They have highly complex patterns and to Muslims, these forms constitute an infinite pattern that extends beyond the visible material world.
Arabesque: is a type of flowing linear decoration based on plant forms, representing the rhythms of nature. Because of the non-figurative nature of Islamic art arabesque decoration is there often a very important element in the most significant works, and plays a large part in the decoration of architecture.
Islamic Calligraphy: It is also known as Arabic Calligraphy, is the artistic practice of handwriting, calligraphy, and by extension of bookmaking, in the lands sharing a common Islamic cultural heritage. Calligraphy is especially revered among Islamic arts since it was the primary means for the preservation of the Quran. Suspicious of figurative art as idolatrous led to calligraphy and abstract depictions becoming a major form of artistic expression in Islamic cultures, especially in religious contexts.
Arabic, Persian, and Ottoman Turkish calligraphy is associated with abstract arabesque motifs on the walls and ceilings of mosques as well as on the page.
