dearest friend
hello
how are you there?
i am sorry for the late to write a new risala.
ok, today i will tell you some thing about the arabic calligraphy.
we have old tradition of doing calligraphy. and there's several mannars to write the arabic letter we call in the KHOUTOUT, each maner is a KHATT
in the photo above there's the tools that we do calligraphy with it: a natural pen called AL KALAM in plurar we say AL AKLAMM
done by a branche of special tree. the ink, the paper, and the MAHBARA it's the tool in which we verse the ink or melange it.
there's the original KHOUTOUT, and there's it's derivations, specially moder KHOUTOUT are derived from the original ones, or are a mixture of two or more of original KHOUTOUT
the famous antic KHOUTOUT names are:
addiwani
diwani jali
athuluth
attaalik
al farisi
al ijaza
al kufi
al maghribi
al andalousi
nower days the artists use to deal with the art of calligraphy, and it becames a sourse a the plastic arts.
i shoosed to show you this art works, it's modern ones in the side of the plastic art, but the artist use to do some original calligraphies in it. it's so fantastic what he had done, i like it so much, he is talent
the artist as i remember is called SAMIR MALIK
