The technical and educational curriculum at the Saudi Center for Fine Arts focuses on empowering and training, from the early beginnings of how to correctly hold a pencil until placing the final touches on a work of art. Students study how to draw in pencil, an introduction to painting, the study of perspective, magnification and miniaturization, shadow, and light, and how to use, handle, and mix colors. The center also offers theoretical studies on the history of art and its pioneers in the Renaissance, Islamic art, and Saudi art and its pioneers and their contributions.
Alongside the courses in fine arts in charcoal, pastel, oil, and watercolor painting available for all age groups, the Saudi Center for Fine Arts offers specialized training courses in various scripts of Arabic calligraphy, divided into four levels, in which students learn how to hold the pen used to inscribe Arabic calligraphy, as well as bamboo and inks suitable for ancient Arabic scripts, such as Diwani, Ruqaah, Naskh, Thuluth, Kufic, and other scripts. After completing these courses, trainees become qualified to work as adept calligraphers. Furthermore, the Saudi Center for Fine Arts offers them certificates at the end of the courses.
