About the Pattern
Explore the beauty and logic of Gothic ornament through the power of grids and squares.
In this course, we’ll draw some motifs built from square-based constructions and grid systems.
Grids not only bring harmony and proportion, but also open creative possibilities for pattern-making—essential for anyone interested in the visual language of medieval design.
Course Content
This two-session course is designed for beginners and is accessible to all—no prior experience in geometry is required.
Using only a compass and ruler, you’ll be guided step-by-step through each motif. After each session, you’ll receive a PDF summary to help you review the process or retrace the constructions at your own pace. (The PDF is designed as a support for the video recording.)
