This book is the second and expanded version of the 2006 edition of The Basics of Calligraphy and Script. The renowned calligrapher demonstrates the learning process in images rather than in words.
The textbook is suitable for art students and it will be useful for teachers and anybody who is interested in the culture of the written letter. Works by former students of the Vilnius Academy of Arts, works by the participants of the script courses and by the author himself illustrate this book. The new edition is expanded by adding examples from Lithuanian script culture.
