NUQTEH This book is a comprehensive teaching instruction for
Persian calligraphy (NASTALIQ). In fact, all lessons that are
taught in my classes have been captured and transferred to a
printed material which is this book. Besides, in order to make it
more helpful and very close to live classes, and to cover verbal
instruction, many more details are added to descriptions and
illustrations to give students the confidence to feel they are in a
live teaching atmosphere. All lessons were reviewed over and over,
filtered, and modified before come to this book. Texts in this book
are simple and intimate same as verbal instruction in live
teaching. Those who have used the methods of this book have been
able to pass tests to obtain official certificates for their
proficiency. This book is useful for those who have the desire to
learn Persian calligraphy but, their busy lives, inaccessibility to
classes, and lack of teaching materials prevent them from following
their goal. This book is an easy, fast, and effective method for
beginners or it can be used as a reference for those that already
attending Persian calligraphy classes. In short, this book is a
platform to take a journey to beauty and infinite source of
positive energy. Colorful illustrations along with explanation and
graphical illustrations of pen movements make this book simple,
effective and useful for beginners to experts, for those who are
learning calligraphy as a hobby, a fun educational activity for
children of aged 10+ and beneficial for meditation and spiritualism
practice as well. It is also a good resource as a supplement for
students of elementary Persian language (Farsi). This book contains
200 step-by-step lessons providing instructions for the entire
Persian alphabet and instructions to combine letters. This is a new
wave as visual teaching method that enables everyone to learn. Even
those who do not have Persian language knowledge can learn Farsi
and calligraphy from this book. To create a beautiful letter, the
pen gets different positions, changes the angle while the pen is
moving, and changes directions. For this purpose, descriptions, and
graphical pictures of pen moves helps a detailed understanding and
following directions. Students learn how to move their hand to give
different trace of pen on the paper and gradually their moves and
flexibility gets harmony with nature by following instructions.
Persian calligraphy (NASTALIQ) is almost 90% curves and rotations.
The whole universe is moving and moves are in a circle or oval
shapes. It is a big challenge for beginner students to educate
their hands to draw a circle or an oval with a wide tip pen.
Experience shows that harmonizing intelligence and spirit with the
nature effects on moves. Moves of the pen are smooth with
consistent changes from one rotation to another, from ascent to
descent and vice verse, from thick line to narrow and gently from a
narrow to thick. These are all representing the nature. Ocean
waves, a bird landing on water, rotation of galaxies, a water fall,
and etc. are examples of such moves. Putting students in a position
to absorb these moves along with their instincts of connections to
the Mother Nature help them to get the concept of this calligraphy
easier and faster. During learning, connecting to nature and
learning rules constantly effects on each other and elevate the
level of skills and more freedom and ultimately, a double benefits
will be achieved: First: Writing nicely which would be an eye
soothing (at any level). This will happen by practice. Second:
Getting direct connection with nature. In another word, getting
detached from daily lives and becoming a fresh person. Relaxation,
being calm and peaceful, to be patient, and having a broader vision
to the world and life would be a daily benefit from dawn to dusk.
