What is the artistic difference between calligraphy and ordinary handwriting?

In calligraphy, beauty, balance, and form of letters are more important

The governing concept is the difference between writing mainly for practical communication and writing designed with deliberate visual beauty. Ordinary handwriting generally emphasizes speed, legibility, and personal convenience. Calligraphy also communicates words, but it gives special attention to letterform, spacing, line quality, rhythm, proportion, balance, and the overall arrangement on the page. Option A is correct because it identifies these artistic qualities as the distinguishing features. Option B is false because calligraphy necessarily uses letters or written symbols. Option C makes an unrelated and absolute claim about handwriting, while D incorrectly places calligraphy in clay work. Thus calligraphy turns writing into a carefully designed visual art.
