Islamic Biomorphic Drawing Workbook

This workbook offers a structured introduction to Islamic biomorphic art through traditional motif studies, compositional systems, and tracing templates. Grounded in classical Islamic illumination and Turkish Tezhip traditions, it provides art-historically informed exercises, and invites all to cultivate fluency in pattern design through repetition, logic, and form, developing drawing skills as both a technical discipline and a meditative practice.

Workbook by Nora Alkeyat © (BID, MFA) an artist and trained interior architectural designer with a studio practice in illustration, NOMO Studio, based in Toronto, Canada. Her work explores biomorphic geometries found in nature and spiritual storytelling, using an art historic approach to colour, pattern, and technology to bridge traditional visual languages with modern design.
