Rose Window Designs

Students of 3rd of ESO traced and decorated the following designs of rose windows. Some of then got inspired from stained glass decorations.

 Here you are other works from 4º of ESO.

Girih designs

Students of 3rd of ESO have designed some ornamental drawings inspired in "girih" designs. Girih is an ancient art that comes from Islamic Culture and is based in interlaced lines that usually form star shapes and other regular or irregular polygons. It appears in different crafts such as plaster, inlay, coffered ceilings, tiles or latticeworks.

Colours are inspired in these techniques.

Moreover, here you are some exercises from 4º of ESO.

Six tangent circumferences inside a pentagon.

Thales' Theorem

Dividing a segment into equal parts.

If you don't want to draw parallel lines by using set-squares you can use this method.

Drawing a regular pentagon by knowing one of its sides

Isometric signs

To design three-dimensional signs is a good way to practice isometric drawing and, therefore, spatial vision. This volume sensation can be emphasised by the use of different intensity of colours to simulate iluminated solid objects.
Besides, students connected these signs with some human values in order to set up an exhibition.

Comic: La ilusión de Superflamenquita

Comic by Lidia Mateos Fuentes (1st of ESO A). Second price in V Concurso de Cómics Ciudad de Llerena.

Perspective overlapping collages

Students of 3rd of ESO were asked to create some collages where they had to express depth sensation. They had to pay atention to three spacial keys: overlapping, size and position.

Isometric city

Students of 1st of ESO designed these urban lanscapes with the help of an isometric grid.

Spirals and Tangencies

These spiral designs are created by linking tangent arcs.

Two center spirals (linked semicircles):

Three center spirals (thirds of circle)

And a four centre spiral (formed by quarters of circle)
