Muslim artists created some of the world's most beautiful objects and
buildings, working in metal, glass, pottery and wood. They knotted rugs
and made colorful small paintings to illustrate their books of poetry and
stories of great kings. You will be able to see some of these works of art
at the Kimbell Art Museum from March 16 to May 12.
We can recognize many Islamic designs in objects around us, such as
the clay tiles which can be fitted together to make larger pattern (see , j
photograph). MAke your own design for a square tile on white
cardboard, painting one element in the center and an element in each
corner. Make three copies the same size. and place them together in
one big square to make a larger design.
