The Calligraphic Line, Part 1
This course looks at all that is inky, spontaneous and full of life: the calligraphic line as a voyage of discovery. We begin with some outliers in the history of Latin letters, looking at how a line can move and shift instead of following a predictable path. We explore the flexibility of the quill pen, which is perfect for taking the line for a walk. This course looks at calligraphy as a process of drawing as much as of writing. Letters will be seen as shapes that you can alter radically without losing legibility entirely. Validity: 180 days
