Calligraphy is very popular among artists as well as among people whom are not professional artists, but who are creative for their own pleasure. The word calligraphy provides own definition. It comes from two greek ancient words: calli, which means "beautiful," and grapho, which means "to write." Thus calligraphy meant "beautiful writing." That is, infact, just exactly what calligraphy is. A major objective of Calligraphers is to make the appearance of the words as as beautiful as they can possibly be. The shapes of the letters in calligraphy, then, are of primary importance. Several different styles of lettering exists today, each with a very spesific basic shape that is instantly recognizable to most experienced calligraphers.
Highlights show problems. The pink comma I couldn't figure out how to show you without just putting it in.
"ancient" should come before "greek," which should be capitalized.
"just exactly" is redundant - use one or the other
", then," is unnecessary and makes it overly wordy
"specific" is the spelling I know - but there are other variations of English so perhaps that's okay after all.
