By Robert Walker


Islamic decorations are comprised of geometric patterns but lack figurative images. These patterns have been on the use for many centuries. The designs involve combinations of repeated circles and squares. At times, they tend to be interlaced and overlapped. Geometric artwork occurs in different types in architecture and in Islamic art. They are common in ceramics, stained glass, metalwork, woodwork and kilim carpets.

Figurative images are not allowed in this kind of an art to ensure people do worship them. Most of the patterns used originated from Sasanian, Greek and Roman. Islamic decorations comprise arabesque, calligraphy and geometric pattern. One of the commonly visible patterns is 8-pointed star. It has two squares. There is also the presence of polygons such as pentagons and octagons. Various patterns and shapes arise especially if are combined as expected. Drawing is usually done with the help of compass and a ruler.

The inner and outer parts of bowls and also the plates concerned with Islamic religion are well decorated. Radial shapes are mainly done during this important process. Most of drawing in such structures indicate stylized leaves and flower petals. Circular bands move around the jug and also the bowl. Apart from the religion, there are a number of designers who use shapes, patterns and styles to come up with vector art and also logo designs.

According to Islamic religion, Islamic art is sacred. It is usually made purposely for religious and spiritual devotion and expression. The art is not intended to express or tell personal story or message of an artist. It expresses the teachings of Islam through calligraphy and also miniature painting. Most importantly, it helps greatly in one way or another in the worship.

There are so many patterns that artists make. Although they are many and different, they tend to have some similarity. All of them have the same idea regarding structure, harmony and symmetry. Artists are required to follow certain rules while making the patterns otherwise they cannot be recognized as a kind of Islamic art.

It is important to understand that geometry plays an important role within the art. It acts as either the guideline or the foundation. For the case of calligraphy letters are made following geometric measurements that are strict. The reality is that the art has the inner and also the outer meaning within it. Every number of shapes used during the drawing is well thought of and has a particular meaning.

Every individual who is a member of Muslim religion is advised to find out the meaning of drawings and why they were used. In most cases, artists use materials that are pure and natural to get into their dreams. They use natural pigments rather than paint bought from the shops. They believe that readymade paint is not the most appropriate type because it tends to fade away after a very short time owing to too many unnatural chemicals within it.
