Calligraphy is the practice of writing with a brush or pen in a decorative and artistic manner. Throughout history, calligraphy has played a vital role in arts and communication, and it continues to be relevant today. Originating in ancient China, it was used to communicate thoughts and feelings through carvings on bones and shells, a skill which continued to evolve into an art form with very intricate patterns and strokes of an in brush. A present time, calligraphy is widely utilized in quite a few countries around the world, most notably, in China where its influence can be seen across various forms of artwork.
Calligraphers throughout the world have long used their skills to communicate messages through written words on paper or on other surfaces. Although calligraphy may appear different depending on the region, the basic principals have often remained the same.
Calligraphy in various regions around the world has evolved styles and characteristics which are unique to their own culture. For instance, Japanese calligraphy, uses strokes that are highly abstracted from the characters they represent. China’s calligraphy is frequently used for formal purposes such as government documents and poetry, and Arabic calligraphers strive for an asymmetrical harmony in their writing. Regardless of background, calligraphers all strive for a common language in a visual display.
Outside of Asian countries, the use of calligraphic scripts was generally popularized by monks during the middle ages who used them as illuminated manuscripts for texts in Pslams and Bibles. Kings throughout Europe also helped popularize calligraphy and commissioned elaborate documents such as treaties between countries using this ornate style of handwriting which added both beauty and authority to these documents.
