CLASS DESCRIPTION

Have you ever wanted to try pointed pen calligraphy, but didn’t want to learn letters? In this class, we will learn about the pointed pen as it applies to calligraphic art. We will use both pencil and pointed pen with dip ink. Students will practice using this classic tool and apply it to artistic forms such as feathers and flourishes. The final project will be a challenge to create an animal sketch of choice.
The book, Calligraphic Drawing, by Schin Loong, is the textbook for this class and is a requirement. We will be using this book in each class (see supply list under resources.) Six, one hour sessions will be included in this introductory course.
