Fotowwatnameh give’s a guidance to javānmardān (chivalry) that prepare them for all steps of life and through this make it possible to have a moral life and of course art is a main part of that. The artist through making his work of art becomes a moral person by himself. The rules of Fotowwatnameh for artist’s Moral conduct, are divided into two parts. One part is related to series of education and opinions. And the other part is related to his behavior.
