Over at the Root Simple website, Mr. Homegrown wrote about the fun he’s been having learning how to draw Islamic geometric patterns from this book by Eric Broug.
It’s a book of step by step drawing instructions. All you need is a ruler, compass, pencil and pen. While the geometry behind theses patterns is enormously sophisticated, actually drawing out the shapes is surprisingly easy and relaxing. It’s also a fun and painless lesson in geometry, especially for those of us not inclined towards math..
