PEN INK TO PRINT INK –
BOOK ARTS & THE ADVENT OF TECHNOLOGY
Take a historical journey through the art of beautiful writing and the power of text as art. Throughout the 10-week course students will develop penmanship and calligraphy skills while developing an awareness and appreciation for the Roman alphabet and its use throughout world history.
Projects build up to lessons in modern day use of technology and culminate in the class website project showcasing a portfolio of the students work. Students apply their learning full circle by educating online viewers about the handwriting arts in the age of the keyboard.
This unique curriculum has been developed specifically for middle and high school students and can be applied to homeschoolers or student classes of any type. Optimal class size is 6 to 12 students.
