I am praying for peace...... I thought others might be interested in seeing
what I am learning about art of Iraq. The Islamic links are old....I will
update them soon. Bunki did a lesson on Islamic tiles - are they online yet,
Bunki? I would like to hear about any lessons you have done on Islamic art.
I used to do a lesson every year on Ancient Middle East every year with
sixth graders as that is part of their social studies curriculum.

Iraqi Art - Is a small effort to present Iraqi art and culture on the web.
Enjoy more than 30 artists home pages, 100 old Iraqi song lyrics,and many
old Iraqi singers modern and folklore poetry, calligraphy, music and
more....
