Hello everyone, it is a pleasure to be with you throughout Gereh Geometric 6 & 8 Fold Patterns.
Geometric patterns can be drawn in many ways, since we are using traditional methods, so we need the following tools:
- Pencil
- Ruler (some transparent ruler would be best)
- Drafting compass
The following topics will be covered in this course:
- The process of dividing a circle into 12 equal parts so that six-pointed stars can be drawn.
- Find out how to draw 4 different geometric patterns with 6-pointed stars.
- The easiest way to draw eight-pointed stars is to divide the circle into 16 equal parts.
- The following tutorial will teach you how to draw 4 different 8-pointed geometric patterns.
As well as learning how to tessellate a pattern, we will also learn to weave the pattern (Gisso Kardan) and use a dropping compass and ruling pen in the appendix.
- Drafting Compass
- Transparent ruler
- Pencil
- Colored pencils
- Paper (A4 or A3)
- You can also draw patterns with the software on a laptop or PC
