So my first example is this Islamic calligram of a lion. Intsead of drawing religious figures, which is against the Islamic religion, artists used calligraphy of important religious passages to form images. I think the calligraphy just looks beautiful in this form; it looks elegant to me.
I love this example because there's actually so much detail that goes into the eyes. It looks like layers of words, and it makes the eyes look like they're sparkling.
These eyes are much more different than the other set of eyes, but I really like how dramatic they came out even though it's more simple.
I think this calligram is simple but very cool; a face is essentially made from shading and shadows. I think this is a smart way of starting a calligram project for beginners.
This is by far my favorite. I think the image itself is beautiful, and with the words describing pregnancy making up the image itself, it feels powerful and looks amazing. Definitely makes me want to do a silhouette of a person.
