Taking a trip to the Middle East looking at the beautiful , detailed and intricate patterns on architecture, fabrics, mosques and ceramic pieces. Islamic patterns are very interesting as they represent what the religion teaches. The patterns is always focused around one shape that is all linked together so for an instance in a dome the patterns will be all around which are connected together and linked with one another and they will all meet at the middle point of the dome, this representation is that the Muslim's from all over the world any race any colour , follow one god so all the patterns around are representing the people which all link to worshiping one God. Another thing which is communicated through the patterns are the Arabic scriptures of the holy Quraan, which is decorated around buildings, plates, wall hangings and mosques.
