Session 1:
We will organize the
letters in mono-line (skeletal forms) into four different families, in order to
learn their proportions.
We will understand the
different characteristics of the gradations of leads we will want to use at the
various stages of drawing and refining these forms.
Session 2:
We will begin drawing the
letters that are only verticals and horizontals ( I, L, F, E, T, H ). We will
then move on to diagonal letters ( A, V, N, M, W, V, K, X, Y, Z ) which require
significant “adaptations” in order to work structurally. Lastly, we will make
the curved letters ( P, R, B, D, J, U, C, G, O, Q, S ).
We will use a 2H
mechanical pencil (lead holder) on grid made for calligraphy. Students will
begin to learn how to self correct and positively critique their work.
Session 3:
We will spend in depth
time building the skills to touch up and refine these initial letters in order
to create a finished alphabet. A short, simple quote will be assigned. Students
will continue to learn how to self correct and positively critique their work.
Session 4:
Students will do a small,
short finished piece. Emphasis on developing spacing will begin. Lettering on
good calligraphy papers will become a priority. 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.
