Calligraphy in Islamic Art
Calligraphy is one of the key characteristics of Islamic art, and is said to be a way of celebrating and remembering God. Verses from the Koran are written into pieces of artwork in an expressive, harmonious, and rhythmic way.
These are commonly found on ceramics, metalwork, mosque walls, school walls, and the walls of many other buildings in Islamic countries.
These verses are usually written in Arabic, Persian, or Turkish.
