TURKISH ARTS
TURKEY
|
Because of the Islamic
influence, Turkish art
is specialized in
different branches of
art. Drawing a figure
was forbidden and it
forced artist to use
only floral and
geometrical motifs.
These motifs, patterns
were applied as a
painting, carving,
weaving, inlaying,
filigreeing or
embroidering. But there
are other branches that
are lesser known such as
book binding, jewel
crafting, copper-making,
calligraphy and Ebru (marbeling).
During your tours, you
will see or try to do
some of them; but if you
have special interest to
any of them, we can make
your own Turkish Art
tour about desired
branch. |
