So what iscalligraphy?

It is a type of visual art related to writing.It is the design and execution of lettering.

Modern calligraphy ranges from functional hand-lettered inscriptions and designs to fine-art pieces where the abstract expression of the handwritten mark may or may not compromise the legibility of the letters.

History ofCalligraphy

The earliest forms of calligraphy date back to

cave-man paintings. Up until roughly 1440

AD, before the printing press was around,

calligraphy was the way books and other

publications were made. A scribe had to

handwrite every individual copy of every

book or publication. The handwriting was

done with a quill and ink onto materials such

as parchment or vellum. The lettering styles

used throughout the ages include Rustic,

Carolingian, Blackletter, etc.

There are three main styles of calligraphy: Western or Roman Arabic Chinese or Oriental
