6th Graders Learn about Islamic Calligraphy

On May 15, Tandem parent Clay Witt (7th grader Henry's dad) came to teach the 6th grade about Islamic Calligraphy. He gave us a lesson about Arabic calligraphy and shared his experience as an apprentice to a calligrapher in Damascus. He taught the students how to form letters, how to write an Arabic pharse, and received a card with their name written in Arabic. Clay brought ink and handmade pens for students to use. It was fascinating and they learned so much! Check out more photos.
