Description
Mastering Arabic calligraphy with step-by-step guidance is within reach. Over 300 images illustrate the basic strokes needed to practice seven major styles, from Kufic to Maghrebi, and create art from 28 letters.
This introduction begins by exploring the history behind this decorative art form, which adorns writings and architecture worldwide. You'll learn how to choose materials, prepare tools, and successfully write the Arabic alphabet before moving on to creating graphic compositions in each style.
