In-studio Classes by Barbara Barbara introduces a comprehensive program in calligraphy and related art techniques. The program presents a logical course-study based on a solid foundation in historic & contemporary letterforms, layout and design, materials and tools, book design and business applications. Each course will build on the previously learned skills and techniques; and students will be encouraged to develop creatively using knowledge gained in each unique session. The courses are designed to be completed within a year, with a beautifully designed certificate of achievement at the end of the program. Students may enter the program at the beginning of each session, but not mid-course. Schedule: 8-week Sessions - Wednesday Evenings - 6:30 p.m.-9:00 p.m. = $150.00 Session I: Monoline Romans Building a strong foundation in structure of letterform is of utmost importance. We will begin with Monoline Roman and Foundational Hands so that the student develops a good understanding of form, spacing and layout. Session II: Uncial/Gothic Uncial and Gothic upright hands and will continue the flow from previous session. Uncial is a round-style, where Gothic is tall and narrow. Both make great textures on the pages. Session III: Italics/ Copperplate Italic is a graceful hand and will be taught using the broad-edged pen. There will be something to offer both beginners and intermediates. Copperplate is the elegant script that is so often associated with wedding invitation design. Session IV: Experimental Techniques This is where we can "let it loose" and try new tools, pen angles, medium and just have a whole lot of fun exploring. This is Barb's favorite part - so it's bound to be full of surprises. Studio is located at: South Coast Village Art Studios 3851 Bear Street, Studio B Costa Mesa, CA 92626 any questions, email Barbara at barbara@bcdezigns.com |
