Pens

March 29th, 2011 Leave a comment Go to comments





The word pen is derived from a Latin word, ‘Penna’, that means feather. They assist us in all our endeavors to transfer some colored liquid used for writing purposes to paper in the form of drawing or writing. From this we can see that these writing instruments cannot be used in isolation from the ink. They come in many different sizes, designs and shapes and thus have acquired different names depending on these characteristics. We have quite a number of these varied writing instruments like the ballpoint, fountain, roller ball, felt and porous among many more.


The liquid used together with the writing instruments comes in different shade of different colors like black, blue, green and red. Pen and Ink is a unique method of writing and drawing at the same time, a method that uses this tool instead of the usual drawing brush. You will find it to be quite an interesting activity because the result of the artwork you achieve looks like some overlapping sketches.

This concept is what is commonly used for the art of calligraphy. Calligraphy is some form of artistic work that is considered to be beautiful and skillful. If you combine different writing tools and different liquid colors, you will be amazed at the result you will achieve. Different tools will give you some varied lines that will add to the general outlook.

The history of the writing tool and the liquid artwork in the western world dates back to the 9th century by the Winchester and Canterbury. They used expressive figures and animals to represent beauty. In China and Korea, the pen and ink culture was so much a part of the people’s lives between 1644 and 1912. It still a common phenomenon in the modern world.
