New additions to the Hallway Exhibit on the 4th floor of the William S. White building feature works from Calligraphy 103 class.  This new course, taught by Professor Wagonlander, a specialist in Art Education, has inspired students to explore the Art of Writing.  Calligraphy is an art form that has held the same status as painting and sculpture in civilizations throughout history.  The Western, Arabic and Chinese traditions of Calligraphy are prime examples of the expression of culture and of the human spirit.  In Albertine Gaur’s A History of Calligraphy, she “defines calligraphy as “an expression of harmony as perceived by a particular civilization. The calligrapher is in harmony with his script, his tools, the text and his own spiritual heritage.” The students of Calligraphy 103 have discovered that there is much more to writing than simply ‘lettering’ and have done an outstanding job of sharing what they have learned with this exhibition!
