Channel: Culture, Art, EntertainmentChris Schmidt uses calligraphy as an introduction to graffiti. He wants his students to understand that this art form is an acquired skill. Graffiti writers need to master basic elements of art, including color blending, fading, contour, and perspective, in order to give their pieces a 3-D effect.
