Digital Geometric Patterns – Semester One

Digital Geometric Pattern Design

This program offers an introductory journey into the world of Islamic geometry, guiding participants from hand-drawn models to digital design and product creation. The course begins with fundamental concepts, where students draw geometric patterns by hand, learn the basics of AutoCAD software, and then apply their models digitally. The course concludes with the production of ready-to-cut laser designs and product development.

Course Content::

• Introduction to Islamic geometry.
• Drawing four simple geometric patterns.
• Learning the basics of AutoCAD software.
