Coming August 23-28, 2018, TMWF’s Islamic Art Revival Series is pleased to present its new program, Connecting Pattern, a series of workshops exploring Islamic Art and geometric design and its connection across subjects including mathematics, science and nature, history, architecture, and cultural borders. Through a series of Educator Workshops, educators and administrators from all subjects and age groups will learn how to apply principles from Islamic geometry across the curriculum. For the public, a series of workshops are also available and open to all interested in Islamic art and its influences across the world.
Connecting Pattern 2018 is a collaborative effort with The Art of Islamic Pattern, and in partnership with Big Thought and the Creative Arts Center of Dallas.
