Abstract:   (2280 Views)
"Dah-e-Kond" or "Kond-e-Dopanj" is the most important geometric pattern among Iranian patterns, which has been called"Ommul Gereh" (mother pattern) due to its importance.Until today, various methods have been proposed for drawing this pattern, each of which in some way allows for the drawing of a "generator" or a more complete context for it. This is while all the methods mentioned have practically become a version of drawing consecutive grammatical lines that are imitated and repeated parrot-like without clarifying their reason and basis. This has become problematic and challenging, especially when it comes to teaching drawing methods, and often, after a short period of time, it is forgotten by the audience. This article seeks to extract and express, through a geometric reading of the generator content, its geometric relationships and logic for more readable and teachable process in drawings, instead of mysteriouslines and distances. The focus of this article is on the pentagonal shape of the "Panj-e-Kond" components, which has been proven for the first time in this research to be "regular" in this pattern, achieves the main goal of the article by finding a new method of drawing pattern. Although the present study follows a qualitative research process in its entirety, namely finding and presenting a new solution to the drawing of th Ten-Kond pattern, by studying written sources, at the same time, it also presents the results of an experimental test between two groups of students to express the effectiveness of its proposed educational method compared to the usual method. Finally, the results of this research explain a new method of teaching how to draw the Dah-e-kond (Kond-e-Dopanj) pattern, which, based on what has been mentioned in the preceding text, in addition to better learning ability, also reveals aspects of "generalizability" towards teaching how to draw other geometric pattern.
