- Review by Shams Hasanova on Draw Islamic Geometric Patterns With A Compass And Ruler
Instructor Bio
A budding artist and experienced educator interested in tapping in to my 12 years teaching experience to lead Islamic Geometry workshops in the UK or abroad and now online.
I am aformer Secondary School Mathematics teacher with a passion for understanding and teaching Islamic Geometric pattern.My interest in geometry was somethingI was able to share with my students throughoutmy 12 years of teaching. In 2013,I began learning to construct Islamic Geometric patterns more formerly when I attended Saturday courses with Adam Williamson and Richard Henry at Art of Islamic Pattern. Following several courses with them,I began painting too. Having a creative outlet had always been a part of my life since GCSE and A level Art.
In January 2015,I moved to Morocco, to learn Arabic at the American & Arabic Language Centre in Fes (ALC & ALIF).I specifically chose this wonderful city because of its inspirational surroundings.My geometry and painting continued and evolved throughoutmy year there. In September 2015,I taught fellow students, both Moroccan and foreign, how to construct the patterns they were surrounded by. The weekly workshops in the ALC & ALIF Riad in the heart of the Medina were a great success. A seed had been planted for somethingI could pursue back home in London.
In January 2016, I returned home and set about making Islamic Geometry Workshops a reality in the west of London. To date, Ihave lead workshops for adults as well as for children at Harrow Arts Centre, OPEN Ealing, The Art Space at Cass Art Kingston, Leeds University and now Udemy.
