Islamic Art & Architecture: Awesome Twitter Threads

Here are some fascinating threads about Islamic art and architecture from the Arabic Art House, Bayt Al Fann. 

They include Twitter threads about Islamic calligraphy, Islamic gardens,  unique mosques in Africa,  the dome interiors of mosques around the world, the use of geometric patterns in Islamic art, and Islamic scientists who study the cosmos.

These threads, which I have saved as pdfs could work well in a unit on Islam in World History. Groups might work on one of the topics, create a short google slide show, and then present.

• Arabic Calligraphy- the language of the Quran
• Islamic gardens
• Geometric patterns and Islamic art
• 20 famous and unique mosques in Africa
• 24 dome interiors in mosques across the world
