What do we do?

Taking one design from the Alhambra we show the simple geometric principles underlying its’ structure. Students create their own design using a pencil and compass and add colour with either watercolour or gouache painting techniques to bring it alive.

By the end of the lesson you will have a beautiful design of your own to take home and a deeper understanding of how the Alhambra was made. It’s a wonderful way to add to your Andalucian experience.
