Islamic Art Level 1 focuses on developing students’ skills and technical knowledge through project-based learning throughout the academic year. Students will engage with projects centred on calligraphy, geometry, and biomorphic patterns. This level aims to immerse students in a variety of skills, including journaling, research, historical learning, material exploration, and fine motor skill development. The curriculum for this period of Islamic Art will concentrate on North Africa and Andalusia. Each project will explore a specific Islamic art tradition, delving into its history, development, and materials, culminating in a practical project. By the end of the academic year, students will have a journal documenting their process and four to six projects to present at the end-of-year exhibition.
