A new series of training courses has been launched to teach Arabic calligraphy, aiming to preserve this timeless art form and pass it on to future generations.
The courses will cover various classical styles such as Thuluth, Naskh, Diwani, and Ruq’ah, under the guidance of experienced experts and practitioners.
The initiative seeks to strengthen the presence of Arabic calligraphy as a key element of Arab and Islamic cultural identity, showcasing its value as a visual art that combines beauty with precision.
Participants will also learn about the history of the art, its evolution over centuries, and gain hands-on practice to refine their skills and unlock their creative potential.
Organizers emphasized that Arabic calligraphy is not merely a writing tool but a living heritage reflecting the depth of civilization. Investing in its teaching contributes to preserving Arab culture and supports the Kingdom’s efforts to ensure its recognition as part of the world’s intangible cultural heritage.
They further highlighted that such initiatives allow young people to apply Arabic calligraphy in contemporary ways across design and modern arts, making it a bridge between tradition and creativity, and reinforcing its presence both locally and internationally.
