Calligraphy

Calligraphy is the visual art of writing. It’s not just about writing characters to convey information it’s taking ordinary characters and handwriting them in an incredibly aesthetically pleasing way. The most important tool to a calligrapher is the pen, there are a few different types of pens ranging from ball pens to felt-tip. Calligraphy pens range in ink sources from traditional pens that must be dipped in an inkwell to pens that have built-in ink cartridges. The interesting thing about calligraphy is that it’s so much of a work of art as opposed to an informative source that the text may be completely illegible and yet still contain a meaning.
