Should calligraphy be graded?
Calligraphy is a form of art and self-expression, and grading it may limit the creativity and individuality of the artist. Instead of focusing on grading, calligraphy should be appreciated for the effort, creativity, and skill put into it. Providing constructive feedback and encouragement can help calligraphers improve their skills without the pressure of receiving a grade. Ultimately, the value of calligraphy lies in the personal satisfaction and joy it brings to the artist, rather than in receiving a grade.

Islamic Calligraphy
WINNER OF THE BRITISH-KUWAIT FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY PRIZE 2007 'This must be the best book ever written about Islamic Calligraphy.Its author has carefully judged it to meet the demands not only of anyone interested in Arabic writing, but also of specialists.The Judges Panel agreed that this is a work of profound erudition and insight.' Now available in paperback, this stunning book is an important contribution to a key area of non-western art, being the first reference work on art of beautiful writing in Arabic script.The extensive use of writing is a hallmark of Islamic civilization. Calligraphy, the art of beautiful writing, became one of the main methods of artistic expression from the seventh century to the present in almost all regions from the far Maghrib, or Islamic West, to India and beyond. Arabic script was adopted for other languages from Persian and Turkish to Kanembu and Malay.Sheila Blair's groundbreaking book explains this art form to modern readers and shows them how to identify, understand and appreciate its varied styles and modes. The book is designed to offer a standardized terminology for identifying and describing various styles of Islamic calligraphy, and to help Westerners appreciate why calligraphy has long been so important in Islamic civilization.The argument is enhanced by the inclusion of more than 150 colour illustrations, as well as over 100 black-and-white details that highlight the salient features of the individual scripts and hands. Examples are chosen from dated or datable examples with secure provenance, for the problem of forgeries and copies (both medieval and modern) is rampant. The illustrations are accompanied by detailed analyses telling the reader what to look for in determining both style and quality of script.This beautiful book is an ideal reference for anyone with an interest in Islamic art.

Which paper is suitable for calligraphy?
The best paper for calligraphy is one that is smooth and has a good weight to it. A smooth surface allows the pen or brush to glide easily, while a heavier weight paper prevents ink from bleeding through. Some popular choices for calligraphy paper include vellum, parchment, and cotton paper. It's important to test different papers to find the one that works best with your specific calligraphy tools and ink.

How does calligraphy ink flow on paper?
Calligraphy ink flows on paper through capillary action, which is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity. When the calligraphy pen touches the paper, the ink is drawn out of the pen and onto the paper due to the absorbent nature of the paper fibers. The ink then spreads along the paper fibers, creating smooth and controlled lines as the calligrapher guides the pen. The flow of ink can be influenced by factors such as the type of paper, the viscosity of the ink, and the pressure applied by the calligrapher.
