The course is designed to take the participants on a pleasant journey to the natural world in Persian Miniature paintings. Where you can practice the elements of nature as well as the birds represented in these paintings.
The course will be started with an introduction to Persian miniature paintings looking at a couple of examples of the main schools to see how the nature is depicted. Also, during our practical lessons, participants will become more familiar with the conventions of nature in the Īlkhānīd, Timūrīd, and Safavīd schools.

The course will be running online in 8 consecutive weeks with each session lasting 120 minutes. The classes will be held in a group format; however, participants will be able to send their practices to our tutor and receive the feedback individually.
 
The course is designed to introduce the basic techniques of making a Persian miniature and move forward step by step; however, participants with previous knowledge and skill will be given the instruction based on their level of experience. So, all levels of skills are welcome.
