Calligraphy

[tor_khan]

Calligraphy is considered a legitimate form of art and script in Islamic societies, and whilst I've seen examples of Arabic, Urdu, Farsi and Turkish calligraphy, I've not come across well publicised examples of calligraphy and calligraphic forms in Pashto.

Well, let's start a Pashto caligraphy competition on Pashtun forums. I got a caligraphy equipment but I can't really write anything beautiful. But sure would love to try to show what I already know.

Maybe we can all participate and improve our skills.

Serendipity Sangar !! I was thinking something along these lines ... even today, I wrote something for the Dars wall, then put it to one side. I think I'll go back and complete now ...

... because there are so many new threads in the Pashto language section, I feel the hunger to learn is being met, but ... by way of trying to get members to write in Pashto I had this idea, however, using some Web 2.0 (Wordle) type application where I could collect lots of names from the forum and create a name wall.

The condition would be for users to submit their name in Pashto only (user-names, and of course with a name like Tor Khan, you don't need any unique Pashto characters, Arabic will do fine).

I'll do a little write up on the Dars wall, InshAllah.

This would be cool to see...

I love calligraphy. I consider it one of my hobbies. I've sketched a lot in the past. I can share some, sometime. =)

I dont get it. I want to participate but I do not have Art craft home. How do we do this.

Sangar strikes again.

nay and black ink is what we used in our school back in peshawar, but i supose you could use a square tiped marker as well or if you have a graphic tablet and photoshop then you can also use the caligraphy brushs in photoshop

The first time I picked up a pen for Pakhto/Dari writing was about four years ago and I haven't done much since then. I can share one of the very first things I wrote. Some are not considered calligraphy, but it's artwork in another language, so I guess it all counts. The drawback is that I haven't scanned these, so the quality is not all that. Once again, it was the first thing I wrote, so it is not very neat as calligraphy is supposed to be. Also, the art of using a calligraphy pen is a hard one. I have written a few things recently, that I will be reproducing for others, colouring them with water colours and then framing them, as requested. When they're done, I am happy to share them.

Now, I just have to dig about five backup CDs to see which one has the photos I am looking for ...
