High Art High art can take on many different forms. Whether it is an action itself, the final products of an action, or both, high art takes work and practice. Calligraphy is a marvelous example of high art because it takes hard work and experience. Of course, many would disagree, but the definition of high art depends on the viewer. Calligraphy is high art because it does involve much artistic skill. Another thing that makes calligraphy high art is its history. Perhaps handwriting has evolved to the point that old-fashioned documents appear to have been writing using calligraphy, but it may have been the way people wrote however many years ago. The ability to replicate the lettering is what makes it high art. Calligraphy is an old tradition that is admired by many. Although very few occupations employ calligraphy since we have moved on to printing, it is still an amazing skill to have. An occupation that does use calligraphy are usually at museums or even in the government to replicate old documents. It is quite interesting that they rewrite the document when they could just copy it using a computer; however, they may have wanted to keep the old and beautiful tradition that calligraphy has to offer. 4-1 Social Responsibility and Business Ethics
