Calligraphy

In this display we proudly present students' work from the Calligraphy course.

In this elective course, students learned the fundamentals of calligraphy from a traditionally trained ustad, using a reed qalam and calligraphy ink on glossy paper. Students acquired knowledge of the history and fundamental concepts of this art while thinking critically about how its practice and display shape our understanding of art from the Islamic world. The display includes a selection of students work in Riq'a script.
