Rumi Drawing and Techniques

Rumi motifs have a very rich history within Turkish decorative arts in terms of their own forms and compositional diversity. In this book, we have attempted to bring together the fields of composition, drawing techniques, and plans of the rumi motif according to their historical periods. Another purpose of preparing this book is to enlighten students who are just starting out regarding rumi and its compositional drawing methods, techniques, and varieties, and to prepare them for drawing compositions on this subject. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my teacher, Ms. CAHİDE KESKİNER, for her contributions to this book I have prepared. -Sabiha Bayhan Koç- (From the Promotional Bulletin)
