    Calligraphy

    Uploaded by

    Cha Deleonio
    Calligraphy is the art of beautiful or artistic handwriting, derived from Greek words meaning "beauty" and "writing". It is an abstract art form where patience and attention to detail are more important than artistic talent alone. In Western calligraphy, letters and symbols are meant to be fluid and spontaneous, though legibility is not essential as aesthetic value takes priority. Various tools are used including metal and non-metal nibs, parallel pens, markers, and different surfaces. Calligraphy has a history in the Philippines as well, with Jose Rizal using it in his works and the pre-Hispanic writing system Baybayin being carved into bamboo.
