Islamic Calligraphy: Naskh Script
This practical art course introduces you to Naskh script and hüsnühat, the art of beautiful writing in the Ottoman tradition. You will learn to write in the elegant, rounded Naskh script, known for its clarity and often used to transcribe the Qur'an.Students will be given an insight into traditional practice, tools, and materials used for hüsnühat.
To begin, students will learn to cut and prepare a traditional reed pen, and be shown how to construct each letter through basic strokes, analyse the measurements for the Arabic letters, practice the pen angles from thick to thin strokes, and progress through shapes to write out letters.
The art of calligraphy can take many years to master, but by the end of this course, students will have had an introduction to writing in this script, and an understanding of the rules of harmony and proportion behind it.
