Calligraphy in Art

This year in Art our class is leaning about Calligraphy.Calligraphy is an art of forming beautiful letters by hand and arranging them well.  It is a set of skill for positioning and inscribing words. Calligraphy is a Greek word which means "beauty" It represents our ancestors for they were the ones who created it. In the 19th century, flat-edged pens also known as calligraphy pens, were replaced by the fountain pens, so it became difficult to achieve the beautiful curves of calligraphy letters with these replaced pens, due to its round tips. Calligraphy is commonly used to write wedding invitations, and letters for special events. It is well known over the globe. Calligraphy is meant for right-handed people, although left handed people can also try, but it maybe more challenging to do so. Today there are many different styles of calligraphy.Here is a short video on calligraphy writing in the Gothic Quadrata style.
