Big Magic: Taking Calligraphy Out of the Box
Big Magic: Taking Calligraphy Out of the Box




 
Alternative Views:


The marks we make doing calligraphy can be strong, fluid, sensuous, and downright yummy. Each tool we use brings a distinct personality that creates a unique mood. In this class, we will explore the different traits of the pointed brush, flat brush, folded pen and wood veneer pen to develop abstract paintings based on calligraphic form.

Beginning with a bamboo brush, we will create marks that will become the basis of our first painting. We will explore gestures from our handwriting and textures from the Neuland style of lettering to use as integral parts of our paintings. We will begin with ink and add color as the days progress to make complete works of art and a book that each participant will make.

Lessons on the elements and principles of design will be woven into the fabric of this workshop; so even those with no formal art-training can learn this process of using calligraphic mark-making as a portal into the exciting world of artistic expression.


Open to all levels.
