Schools of Calligraphy

Schools of calligraphy refer to various styles and traditions of artistic writing developed in different cultures and historical contexts. Each school has its unique techniques, tools, and aesthetic principles. For example, Western calligraphy often emphasizes flowing scripts and ornate flourishes, while Arabic calligraphy highlights intricate geometric designs and syllabic expressions. East Asian calligraphy, notably Chinese and Japanese, focuses on brush techniques and the relationship between brush strokes and meaning. These schools reflect cultural values and artistic practices, evolving through time while contributing to the broader field of visual art and communication.
