Cairo Arabic language plus Calligraphy

Egypt Arabic language schools have employed a specialist (Ahmed Qutb) in the art of Calligraphy to help you master a beautiful form of Arabic visual expression.   When you combine the Arabic language course with calligraphy you will spend an hour per day refining your calligraphy skills which symbolize some of the most important values of the Arabic world: unity, beauty and power.

There are two levels to this course.  In level 1 you will learn how to write each letter in the correct proportion, join identical and non-identical letters, change the letters' proportions, write a word or line by adding motifs to balance and decorate spaces. In level 2 your Calligraphy skills will advance to writing sentences with accurate distribution of spaces between letters and words. You will be able to write letters in many possible ways, use motifs and designs to decorate the page, enlarge & reduce a sentence, always keeping the correct proportions.

Written from right to left Arabic calligraphy is not merely an art form but involves divine and moral representations. Why not immerse yourself in the history and culture of the Arabic language and have some fun as well by it by taking the Arabic Language and Calligraphy course.
