Calligraphy
Roots of Calligraphy is coming from ancient Greek and means beauty +
writing. It is a variation of visual arts. It can also be called fancy
writing or lettering. A good explanation of calligraphy is ”the art of
giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious and skillful manner”
(Mediavilla 1996: 18).
This is the tool that calligraphers use.

Also graffiti is another subhead of calligraphy which is created much
more later then other calligraphies. It has been created in the 1960s
by writing (violating) to public to private property. Graffity always
seemed as anarchist, destruction based and vandalism to society but in
artist vision it has called passionate art which feeds the soul of
todays expressionism. Eventhough graffiti and calligraphy share similar
attributes still they are comin from different regions of communities
and cultures.
