Transform Islamic Artefact to Graphic

Let’s take a trip through the visual history of Islamic art. In this workshop we will create experimental postcards with a fresh perspective on history, architecture, artworks and artefacts. We will play with iconographic motifs and break stereotypes by exploring different visual techniques such as collages, illustrations, lettering etc. to express a personal view of Arab culture – past and present.

Day 1 – Exploring and documenting Islamic artefacts in Ithra Museum and creating a visual library of the artworks.
Day 2 – Learning to approach the subject through different manual techniques and then digitizing them. Developing the design.
Day 3 – Finalising the design approaches in digital form.
Day 4 – Presentation of the final designs. Reflection and discussion.
