Just as art when applied in one's own personal life, environment, and work is an expression of the person himself, so can art also be used as a kind of therapy to refine taste, harmonize character, and uplift moods. So, too, can even a useful craft like handwriting and penmanship be used for the same higher purpose. To turn a clumsy, ugly, half-illegible script into a symmetrical, graceful, easily read one needs good observation, self-discipline, and careful training.
