Calligraphy is a visual art related to writing. It is the design and execution of lettering with a broad tip instrument or brush in one stroke. A contemporary calligraphic practice can be defined as "the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious, and skillful manner."

The artistic way the letters are written piqued my interest enough that I decided to join the workshop and know more about it. The Modern Calligraphy workshop was conducted by Katrina Alana at People's Park Center, Chinatown. A 2-hour activity of getting to know the basic writing kit, practicing the basic strokes, and getting ink stains on our hands. Indeed, there's so much more to learn about this art and it entails practice to get that artsy design that you want.
