korean handwriting

Postby iDoof » September 3rd, 2010 11:50 pm

I wasn't sure where this topic should go...

Does anyone have pictures or a website showing really beautiful Korean handwriting? The other day I walked past a bookstore where someone had written a book list on a chalkboard, and it was so beautiful. I wish I'd taken a picture...

There are great examples of Korean handwriting almost everywhere. I love to look at the hand written signs in the Korean businesses around town.

I'm not going to post any examples of good handwriting at this time, but I will post a sample of bad handwriting, here you go:

"제눈에 안경"이라는 표현 알아요? 영어로는 비슷한 의미 가진 "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"라는 말이 있는데 아시다시피 그건 거의 사람마다 아름다움을 다르게 느끼는 뜻이라고요. 내 생각에는 사람만 아니고 시절마다 아름다움을 다르게 느낄 수도 있잖아요? 한국말을 제대로 읽을 수 없을 때는 내게 손으로 쓴 한글은 모두 예쁘게 보였는데 읽을 수 있게 된 후 그렇지 않았어요. 난 이렇게 써요 ~형편없지? :D

사람마다 취향이 다르다 :wink:
