A term used to describe the essential
beauty of contemporary
wall art (graffiti) through the oxymoronic relationship between calligraphy (meaning decorative hand writing) and graffiti (meaning writing scribbled or scratched on
something); fundamentally, graffiti is calligraphy.
Early graffiti artists such as Dondi were influential in turning calligraffiti into a well respected art form.
The calligraffiti on 5th
Avenue extremely beautiful.
There is a
debate on whether or not to teach calligraffiti as
part of the art curriculum in schools.
