The history of calligraphy

Calligraphy originates from the Far East, and the masters of the art of calligraphy are Persians, Islamic as well as Western calligraphers.

From the beginning of literacy calligraphers attempted to make letters more beautiful and make them suitable for their main use- to record information.

In the Serbian language phonetic script is based on the rule that a single phonemic sound is written as a single letter. Both Cyrillic and Latin alphabets are used in Serbian language and the monasteries are mostly credited for the development of calligraphy. The educated monks transcribed old manuscripts using the Cyrillic alphabet which was inspired by the Greek uncial script (from the Roman Empire era).

Contemporary calligraphy is defined as the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious, and skillful manner and is used for the creation of font designs, greeting cards, event invitations, diplomas (certificates), and various documents.

Calligraphy is written on parchment, papyrus and paper and many different tools are used for calligraphy writing – brushes, markers, quills (reed, bamboo, bird feathers) and special felt-tip pens.

Calligraphy – Equipment (tools) se use

All of the required material and equipment will be provided for you and they are included in the course price, the elementary calligraphy set includes:

•         A calligraphy pen (with different widths depending on the text size, paper you use etc.)
•         A pencil (sharpened or not)
•         A brush
•         Calligraphy papers

Sometimes a very sharp pencil or a steel brush is used for decorative purposes. High quality papers we use are a good substitute for parchment and velum.
