Primary research –The British museum research

The tiles showed in the pictures are Islamic patterns that where created 1000 years ago which are held in the Islamic exhibition in the British museum . Todays tiles and patterns are a lot more intricate and detailed .They have taken the idea of the star shapes and geometric structures and have developed it into more delicate patterns. I have used the idea of the starts and began starting of to create my own patter with a basic geometric shape I first investigated the main star shape that will be used using the different forms as can be seen

All of these shapes are constantly used in patterns but its just the matter of which one, then building around it for it to be symmetrical on either side as it continuous .
