Session 1:
The lower case alphabet
will be presented. We will proceed at a rate that is comfortable to the
individual student. We will start with a 2mm nib. Refer to the Nib Equivalent
Chart to see which nib that is in the brand you like best. You may want to use a
nib that has a reservoir like Brause, Tape, or Speedball. We will begin writing
on a grid pad made for calligraphy. Students will begin to learn how to self
correct and positively critique their work.
Session 2:
We will transition into
smaller nib sizes concentrating on maintaining a high standard of letterforms at
these demanding, smaller sizes. Students will experience how to modify their
individual nibs to perform better. A short quote will be assigned. Students will
continue to learn how to self correct and positively critique their work.
Session 3:
Students will begin
writing longer texts. Emphasis on developing spacing and rhythm will
begin. Writing on good calligraphy papers will become a priority, as well
as writing fluids other than inks
from a bottle. Upper case letterforms will be introduced. Students will continue
to learn how to self correct and positively critique their work.
Session 4:
Students will do a
finished piece. We will review all questions of letterforms and materials and
refine their uses. Students will independently be able to self correct and
positively critique their work.
Because all of these courses are personal lessons, we will proceed
at the singular pace that is comfortable for you. The course description
is simply an outline to suggest a series of goals individuals may want to arrive
at.
