High-Resolution Document Cameras

Our specialized document cameras provide high-resolution video of the teacher's hand movement, allowing students to see every detail such as pen or brush movement, angle, and technique as if they were sitting right next to the instructor.

Detailed Video Recordings

Students receive high-quality recorded videos of each lesson that they can replay as many times as needed, studying the teacher's strokes, pen angles, and detailed explanations at their own pace.

Personalized Feedback

Students submit their completed exercises digitally. We print these submissions for the teacher, who provides detailed corrections and feedback. The annotated work is then photographed and sent back to the student, creating a seamless feedback loop.

"I enrolled in the Mukhtar Plan online program with the second batch, eighth group. Initially, I was skeptical about learning calligraphy remotely, but this experience completely transformed my perspective. Professor Muthana's instruction was exceptional—he demonstrated each stroke with precision and explained the geometric principles behind each letter form."

"The Barzingi Institute for Arts and Languages distance learning approach revolutionized my calligraphy journey. Their high-definition document cameras captured every subtle movement of the instructor's pen. What truly sets them apart is their feedback system: I would submit my practice sheets digitally, then receive detailed hand-corrected work with annotations highlighting areas for improvement."

"Before discovering the Barzingi Institute for Arts and Languages, I struggled to learn calligraphy through books and online videos, making little progress. Their structured curriculum transformed my experience completely. The instructors break down each letter into geometric components, explaining the underlying principles rather than just demonstrating shapes."
