Calligraphyis
known as “beautiful handwriting,” and in Arabic it also means the“art
of the pen” and “the geometry of the spirit.” Arabic calligraphyis a
genuine Arabic and Islamic art form that links the literaryheritage of
the Arabic language with the religion of Islam. It is anartistic
tradition of extraordinary beauty, richness and power. TheQur'an played a
major role in the development and evolution of Arabicscript and
calligraphy, and was the main inspiration for beautifyingthe words of
God. The first revelation of the Qur’an inspired Arab andMuslim artists
to be creative and use calligraphy as a spiritual andartistic identity.
Arabic calligraphy has been used for centuries todecorate architectural
buildings, manuscripts, and objects of dailylife. Despite the diversity
of the Arabic and Islamic world, ArabicCalligraphy is a major element
that unified Islamic art. In addition toits spiritual value, Arabic
calligraphy and inscriptions onarchitectural monuments served as
historical documents. Calligraphy wasan art form that adapted every
imaginable art media such as paper,wood, metal, glass, stone, ivory, and
leather. It is an art that isconsidered a form of worship and played a
major role in Arabic andIslamic cultures.

The Digital Creative Process
by Fayeq Oweis
Thecomputer
or digital process in creating the majority of my art piecesinvolved
many steps, including hand-drawn sketches, vectorillustration, and
raster manipulation using computer graphicsapplications. Following is an
outline of this digital process increating one art piece, which
contains the word "Allah," and isarranged in a geometric shape forming
an eight-pointed star. Theindividual stages involved in creating this
image are discussed andillustrated as follows:
1. Using a grid
sheet of paper, Ihand-sketched the word "Allah" with a pencil, and then
scanned it intothe computer using Adobe Photoshop software. The file was
then saved ina raster TIFF file format. This scan was used as a
template for linetracing using another program (see below).
