From the start of the civilization, writing styles have been greatly developed, including tools and materials. During the prehistoric period, stones and sticks were used as tools to clay tablets for cave paintings. And there were reed pens for writing on papyrus, quill pens for parchment, which are similar to metal pens and ball pens in nowadays.
Young people today seldom use the old writing styles. However, they would still produce Maori Rock Drawings which can be made well on small copper circles or copper enamel ash trays.
You can see calligraphy in advertisements and graphic designs easily nowadays. Did you notice that it is not written on papers only? It is also written on artistic and creative surfaces, such as fabrics, glass and three dimensional designs.
As modern artists are often exposed to a more diverse world than the artists in the previous decades, the rich personal experience of modern calligraphers can often give them great inspiration. With this creativity, the art of calligraphy is brought to a new height and sees no boundaries.
Calligraphy can be used as functional hand lettered inscriptions and designed as some fine arts, and sometimes the meaning of the words may supersede the clarity of the letters.
Apart from inscriptions and fine art designs, calligraphy can also be seen on many works that involve writing. For example, event invitations, wedding invitations, logo design, graphic design, certificates, memorial documents, religious art design, typography etc.
Literally, calligraphy means beautiful writing. It was the method to produce a book in 500 yeas ago, when the invention of the printing press wasn't developed. Each copy of the reading materials was handwritten by scribe working in a scriptorium. Quill and ink were used to write on materials like vellum and parchment.
Calligraphy has been developed into three main styles nowadays, including Chinese or Oriental, Arabic and Western or Roman.
