Calligraphy: The Art of Beautiful Writing

1Have you ever seen letters that look like they are dancing across a page? That is calligraphy. The word calligraphy means "beautiful writing." People in many parts of the world have practiced this art for a very long time.

2Calligraphers use special tools. Many of them write with a pen that has a nib, which is the metal tip that the ink flows through. A wide, flat nib makes a thick line when it moves one way and a thin line when it moves another way. Other calligraphers paint letters with a brush dipped in ink.

3Calligraphy has a long history. Long ago, before there were printing presses, many books were copied by hand. Scribes, people whose job was to write things by hand, spent many hours on each page. In China and Japan, artists have painted words with brushes for hundreds of years.

4Calligraphy takes practice. Beginners often start by drawing straight lines and circles again and again. My art teacher says to hold the pen at the same angle every time so the letters look even. With patience, anyone can learn to make beautiful letters.
