CalligraphyFall2019

Points: 200 Due Date: Last Day of Class About: For this independent Calligraphy hand project, you will choose a Script from your textbook that you wish to learn and practice the minuscules and Majuscules until you are confident enough to begin writing sentencing with your script. Rubric: 1. Ladder usage and lining up practice papers. I'm looking for your ability to read the ladder chart for your script and, by using the methods we learned in class, properly line up EACH of your practice sheets. (8.5x11 paper is just fine) 2. I'm mostly focused on your practice sheets and the process by which you learn your script. You'll be turning in all of your practice sheets for your final grade. I'm looking for proper letter formation and seeing how you work through problematic letters. 3. Do not rush this assignment. You have from today until the last day of the semester to complete this. So set aside a certain amount of time each day (20 minutes perhaps) to sit down and...

Before you even begin today's assignment, please look at the following link: http://symboldictionary.net/ I want you to go through and find symbols to incorporate in your assignment, keeping close attention to what meaning each animal, flower, or symbol represents.

Point Total: 200 Project description: We've spent about a month on the Italic calligraphy hand and now it's time to put it all together. For this project, you will visit the following link: http://www.shakespeares-sonnets.com/sonnet/all.php 1. Please select one Shakespearean sonnet that you will be copying. Each sonnet has the same number of lines (14) so it's really about selecting a sonnet that resonates with you. 2. On smaller, scrap paper, I want you to sketch out a plan for your sonnet. I will be providing ONE and only ONE large sheet of bristol board for your final projects, so the better you prepare for this assignment, the fewer errors you will make. 3. With a pencil, line up your final papers to accommodate the 14 line sonnet. 4. With a pencil, sketch out SKELETAL letters of the words so you have proper spacing. Remember, the letter N, using this letter as your spacing between letters and words. 5.  SLOWLY, SLOWLY, SLOWLY, begin writing out your sonn...
