This fall, these thirteen classes are open to everyone wanting to learn calligraphy or improve their skills! We will study two different hands: italic and gothicized italic, focusing on consistent size, shape, slant and spacing of the letterforms and layout design as you create your own artwork. The course will focus on individually guided practice and will include instructor demonstrations and viewing of many samples of calligraphic art. This calligraphy class will focus on: • how to make each letter (all the minuscules and majuscules) of the two hands: italic and gothicized italic • learn about inks, calligraphic materials and pens • peruse wonderful calligraphy books • create your own beautiful works of art Each student will be charged a $50 fee for the calligraphy supply kit on the first day of class which will include: one jar of non-waterproof Ink, a pen holder and nibs, a box of ink cartridges, a Pilot Parallel pen and a practice pad. Calligraphy is the art of beautiful handwriting. The word derives from the ancient Greek: kallos meaning "beauty" and graphẽ "writing". It is the art of giving form to letters in an expressive, harmonious and skillful manner. A $50 supply fee will be collected by Patti Adams on the first day of class.
