Islamic art!

Islamic pattern are normally in mosques!

Islamic art normally involves rich and deep colours such as reds and golds to symbolises how much they treasure there god or to represent the mosque like gold a great place!

Most Islamic patterns contain symbols to represent Allah or scripts from the Quran.

Also they are in deep detail with almost

a story behind some pieces.

Islamic are very much to do with maths as some pieces are symmetrical filled , with patterns and mirrored.

Jasper Johns

Date of Birth: May 15, 1930

Most of jasper johns art has an inclusion of numbers and i think it is very effective.

A picture of pencils labelled with the prime numbers!

• Last week we learnt about tessellation


• This can be described as a pattern that is repeated to fit each other


• We searched on the Internet to find an artist who used this in their work


• I looked at an artist called Escher


• In my opinion his work was fascinating , very complex and in detail


• We then made 'Verity's kite'. We made this using origami skills


• This required careful folding so that the angles were correct


• Adding all the angles of the kite together = 360 degrees


• If made correctly the kites fit together without any gaps to make a tessellation

Yoh Peep's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Prime!

Prime Numbers!

In mathematics, a prime number (or a prime) is a natural number that has exactly two distinct natural number divisors: 1 and itself. The first twenty-five prime numbers are:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97.

tessellation

Tessellation!

Tessellation is a type of pattern that fit together and cover something with no gaps.

There is a man who is a famous artist and he uses tessellation in almost all of his work

His name is Escher and here is an example of his work.

I think that Escher's work is very effective and all the dogs meet and fit in the Tesselation pattern. I would like to use his ideas in my work but i'll stick to something a little simpler for now.
