Islamic Art & Geometric Design

Islamic art and geometric designs can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used to teach the history of Islam and all aspects of Islam. It can tell stories of Islam and Islamic art. It can be used for science, math, and art in schools. These designs can be used to teach students in math about grids and shapes. I liked how the article gave activities and step by step instructions to do these works of art in the classroom. They are beautiful pieces of art work but at the same time they are so much more. They have history and culture behind them. Teachers can use these in basically any subject to teach their ideas and the students can have fun while doing it! They might not even realize they are learning!

I remember when I was younger printing out designs on my computer that were black and white to color just thinking they were cool designs and patterns. After reading these articles I now know that they were Islamic art. I never thought of actually designing one of these my self either.
