Session 1:
Students will learn how
to use the Pentel Color Brush. They
will see how a pointed brush achieves thicks and thins in contrast to the broad
edge pen. They will be introduced to the straight, curved, and branching
letterforms.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:
The entire lower case
alphabet will be covered. You will receive advice on practicing and spacing.
Refilling the Pentel Color Brush will be demonstrated. 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 continue.
Writing on good calligraphy papers will become a priority, as well as
writing fluids other than ink within the body of the Pentel Color Brush.
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.
