Did you know that Byzantine motifs generally employed human figures and geometric elements? In this workshop, we first study the colors and shapes found in the Byzantine motifs at the exhibition. Then, with the inspiration we take from the colorful and lively patterns we come across in Byzantian art, architecture, clothes, and book engravings, we create present-day patterns using magnetic tangrams. Next, we design our own composition of geometric shapes using colored pencils. This workshop teaches us about architectural motifs and develops our analytical thinking skills and imagination.

Ali Sami is born in Rusçuk in 1866, and moves to İstanbul. Because his family is registered in the Beylerbeyi quarter of Üsküdar, Ali Sami is also called Üsküdarlı Ali Sami. He graduates from the Mühendishane-i Berri-i Hümayun in 1866 and becomes a teacher of painting and photography at the school.
Berggren acquires the techniques of photography in Berlin and holds different jobs in various European cities before arriving in İstanbul. Initially en route to Marseille, he disembarks from his ship in 1866 and settles in İstanbul, where he is to spend the rest of his life.
Following the opening of his studio, “El Chark Societe Photographic,” on Beyoğlu’s Postacılar Caddesi in 1857, the Levantine-descent Pascal Sébah moves to yet another studio next to the Russian Embassy in 1860 with a Frenchman named A. Laroche, who, apart from having worked in Paris previously, is also quite familiar with photographic techniques.
