Day 1
The Garden of Madinah
Begin with the foundations of Islamic miniature art through the natural world. Study floral patterns, desert botanicals and the plants associated with Madinah, looking at how artists transform nature into decorative form before creating the first elements of your own composition.
Day 2
Landscape, Stone & Precious Gems
Move from the garden into the wider landscape of Arabia. Explore mountains, rock formations, stones and geological forms alongside precious gems and minerals, learning how colour, line, texture and repetition can turn natural landscapes into the highly detailed world of Islamic miniature painting.
Day 3
Discovering Madinah Through Art
Choose a historic or significant place in Madinah, from the Prophet’s Mosque to Quba Mosque or the city’s mountains, and reinterpret it through the visual language developed over the previous days. Finish with a personal miniature artwork that brings together place, memory and observation.
