The Practice of Islamic Art

Islamic art often centers pattern, repetition, and flow rather than realistic imagery. These elements create a sense of continuity and balance, drawing the eye gently across the design. Rather than telling a story, Islamic patterns invite focus, observation, and reflection.

Core Elements We Practice

Our classes introduce and work with:

  • Arabesque floral and vine patterns

  • Repetition and rhythm

  • Balance and symmetry

  • Line, spacing, and flow

These elements are practiced slowly and intentionally, allowing participants to become familiar with the language of Islamic design.
