Middle School Students Design Islamic Inspired Printing Blocks

The 6/7/8th grade students were introduced to Islamic art and their use of calligraphy, geometric forms and floral patterns, rather than human or animal representation. The students designed small squares that were carved into Safety-Cut blocks that could be turned and printed repeatedly, making a larger design from the initial small square.
