Arabic Geometrical Pattern and Design

ひとつの文様をひたすら繰り返してページ全面に広げています。 まずそれが不満です。手間を省いてスペースをかせいでるとしか思えません。 創作性や種類の幅があれば問題ないのですが、、 しかし同じ似かよったものばかりで延々それが続きます 結局この書籍に掲載されている文様の数は手の指で数えるほどです この本の趣旨としては「自分で色を塗ってアレンジしてね」ということなので しょうが、様々なアラビア文様を参考に見たかった私としてはひどく 落胆させれました。

I am a serious free motion quilter and am always looking for inspiration on quilt stitching patterns that cover an entire quilt. Arabic designs lend themselves to this purpose perfectly! They are easily translated from the book because they are shown on triangle grids. How I found out about this book is through my daughter, who at the time was a college art major. This book is required for many college art courses. The designs are timeless and can get any artist thinking in another direction.

This book is a collection of a couple of hundred plates of geometric patterns. Each pattern has a section with dotted lines over the solid lines of the designs, to make understanding their construction and underlying maths easier. This makes it ideal for making your own, as I'm now doing, but this is by no means easy... There is no accompanying text to explain what you're looking at or how it was arrived at, so you have to work it ALL out for yourself. While this is great fun if you're me, it might not be if you just want the result, not the mental challenge of arriving at it. Or you could just get it because it's gorgeous and never try and copy any. It's black and white linear forms only, but my goodness staring at these images is a trip!

Ce livre est une réédition des 190 planches réalisées par Jules Bourgoin spécialiste du genre à son époque (19° siècle). Il n'y a pas d'explications pour les réaliser. Elles se trouvent dans le livre "Les Eléments de l'Art Arabe: Le Trait des Entrelacs" (Classic Reprint) écrit en français.

Buen libro para estudiar la formación de los mosaicos nazaríes, aunque el libro de Eric Broug, Islamic Geometric Patterns es más didáctico.
