Islamic Art

Thesis Statement

Islamic art refers to the form of art produced in Islamic civilization. It is highly influenced by Arab culture and emphasizes the reflection of Gods nature in the art. The use of recurring motif styles and designs by using geometrical and floral shapes to mirror the infinite nature of God. Such depictions are observed in the calligraphy, techniques designs and distinctive three-dimensional elements in architectural designs, from Islamic dynasties i.e. 600- 1800 CE. Islamic art traveled from east to west influencing western styles of art through the exchange of people and through the Islamic conquests and rule.
