Arabic Calligraphy is a sacred art. It is the highest art form along with the recitation of the Quran in the Islamic world. Due to the religious prohibition on sculptures, Muslim artists concentrated their artistic skills in calligraphy and achieved many distinctive patterns and styles. As new cultures came in contact with Arabic script they adapted the writing style and added unique fonts or styles to Arabic script. This project is a consortium of deciphering old Arabic scripts and a case for new style of art in the West. The focus of the project is Arts and morality based on relevance to this course in order to seek a deeper meaning of sacred.
