Moroccan Geomety: S8 Class: 8-fold maakous w/ kandeel & B&L, tessellated

    Moroccan Geometry: S8 Class: 8-fold maakous with kandeel & "B" & "L", tessellated This 8-fold design yielded a tessellation of 15 tiles on an 18"x12" page, with a center tile and no half-tiles. The Qandeel w ba w la (jellyfish with "B" and "L") is outside the 22.5°-turned Seal of Solomon/Looza/Sfet figures which comprise the middle of the drawing, but inside the corner seal of solomon, which each tile contains one-fourth of, and which is completed at the corners by four tiles. Other shapes include the Sfet L'herba, or bayonet/spear, and another form based on the Qandeel, known as the  Bou Mnikher Mashrook, or Squashed Little Nose. This shape and the Sfet L'herba line the outside border of each tile, and so only half the shape is within the tile itself, and is completed by the adjacent tiles on each side.  The arrangement consists of circles arranged diagonally, including 5 center circles arrange like the 5 on a die, ...

Moroccan Geometry: S9 Master Class: 10-fold with the Eye of the Sun from Bou Inania Medersa, Fez

  Adv S9 Master Class: 10-fold with the eye of the sun, from Bou Inania Medersa, Fes Part A: Draw the main circle and subdivide it into tenths. This 10-fold design is based on 2 concentric circles. These two fully contain the 4 central shapes. 10 other overlapping circles whose centers are outside of the outer circle complete and contain the remaining shapes. The first of the 2 concentric circles to be drawn is the outer one 1.  We want the finished drawing to fit with 5 mm margins above and below. The ratio of the circle's radius, A, to the distance between the center and the outer point of the pattern, B, is approximately 5 to 7. Using a watercolor paper that is 304mm high, B should be no more than 304mm, minus the 5 mm margins, then divided in half, or 147 mm. So then A, the radius of the main circle, should be about (5/7) x 147 mm, or about 105 mm. Use the usual method of finding the center of the page, draw a circle of the desired radius and quarter the circle with horizo...
