The art in Pakistan takes many forms like painting, calligraphy, sculpture making, architecture, apparel designing, etc. The fact that makes Pakistani art different from those in other parts of world is that it takes influence from various regions and regimes, but at the same time has an inimitable characteristic of its own too. Notable influences in Pakistani art come from Mughal era, Arabic art, Persian art, colonial regime, etc. However, bright colors and delicacy are few things that have remained an integral part of all the forms in all eras. An indigenous art performed in Pakistan and that is an attraction for people living in all parts of the world alike is truck art. Drivers decorate their trucks with colorful patterns, paintings of celebrities, poetic verses, quotations, mirror work, wooden designs, etc. Despite it is an expensive hobby, but truck owners spend at least $300- $500 on decoration of the rides. Owing to the painted scenes, poetic verses and quotations many people today refer truck art as moving art or jingle art.
