Calligraphy

In a project of calligraphy- students will learn about illuminated letters. We discussed the impact that literacy had on the population. Also we talked about the process and time it to create books and the written form.

In our next project we go beyond the realm of art making and talk about how art work is displayed and the impact art can have on the community. Our plan is to hang our projects all over our building (MMS). I have over 200 students, each student will choose a word of positivity. I will track each student and what word they choose so that no 2 words will repeat. 

Each word will be traced from Old English Fonts- students are responsible for choosing there word and tracing each letter- letters range from 6 inches to 4.5 inches tall. Every word will start with a Capitol. Each word is put on a uniform cut water-color paper. Students will stress Line quality and spacing.

Each word will be finished using watercolor paint and marker.
