Let your kids try something different, introduce them to the mesmerizing art of calligraphy painting.
With a class designed as a guide for beginners, your kids can choose between English or Arabic calligraphy - and the instructor will direct them on a step-by-step process. During the first 3 sessions, kids will begin by using the calligraphic pen on paper and practice their chosen style. Once they are confident in their design abilities, the remaining sessions will be dedicated to guidance on how to incorporate calligraphy within a painting.
Kids can choose to work on any design, whether it is a Quranic verse of religious significance, an abstract composition of alphabets or a quote they really like. They will have complete freedom to either adhere to strict codes of calligraphy or be spontaneous with modifications.
Throughout the sessions, your kids will be provided with photo stated samples of various scripts and writing styles, as well as a short history of the subjects - and cover a variety of techniques and compositions.
Students choosing to work on Arabic calligraphy have the option of working on either the Ruqa, Deewani or Naskhi styles.
