Abstract :
The existence of civilization and its transference to the next generation have only been possible by writing. Written works have kept the memory of the nations and the rest are mostly erased. Islamic Calligraphy is an art branch with unique aesthetic rules that has the ability to represent the Islamic civilization itself. Calligraphy, illumination, miniature, architecture and motifs in our other art forms have also been stylized. Thus, an understanding of abstract art has emerged from centuries ago with a high aesthetic level. Calligraphy is the only art which is indestructible in our art forms. Calligraphy, applied to educational methods, is also an education system itself.
