  • Faux Hands for Calligraphy Imitating Non-European Script
    Faux Hands for Calligraphy Imitating Non-European Script THL Helena Sibylla – [email protected] As scribes in the SCA, we’re all familiar with a variety of European scripts from the Middle Ages. We’ve probably all dabbled at least a bit with calligraphic hands like Uncial, Carolingian Minuscule, Early Gothic, or Batarde. While many people in the SCA choose to portray European personas, there are an increasing number of people exploring non-European areas such as Islam and China. Beyond that, there are other scripts that exist around the main core of European writing that fit other personas such as Greek or Norse. If you have a scroll assignment for a person where a medieval European hand just won’t be suitable, there are a couple of options. One is to plug your text into a translation program and then writing in the original language. However, this runs the risk of someone who actually knows the language finding unintentional errors created by the translation software, which doesn’t always understand the quirks and idioms found in non-English languages. Creating a script with the look of a foreign hand that fits the culture of the recipient’s persona has the advantage of allowing the scribe to still write in English while creating a visual effect that is dramatically different from the typical SCA scroll. In addition to the examples provided here, I strongly recommend that you spend some time researching the script of the culture you’re planning to emulate. You will want to consider issues of punctuation and accent marks, as well as decorative letters, and upper and lower cases (if they are used).

Lettering is the art of drawing letters where each letter acts as its own mini illustration. Rather than simply writing letters in a print or cursive style with a continuous stroke, the thing that sets “lettering” apart is the individual attention paid to each letter and its role within a composition. Calligraphy is the art of writing letters and is related to the idea of penmanship. It traditionally uses specific tools like a nib and ink, and it is marked by a variation in width for the upstrokes and downstrokes of each letter (which is what separates it a bit from cursive writing.) Calligraphy is more likely than lettering to be used in longer written pieces. Via handletteringforbeginners.com 4 | Just My Type Online Logo Masterclass logoinspirations.co Contents 6.

  • National Diploma in Calligraphy Helpful Hints for FOUNDATION Diploma Module A
    National Diploma in Calligraphy Helpful hints for FOUNDATION Diploma Module A THE LETTERFORM ANALYSIS “In A4 format make an analysis of the letter-forms of an historical manuscript which reflects your chosen basic hand. Your analysis should include x-height, letter formation and construction, heights of ascenders and descenders, etc. This can be in the form of notes added to enlarged photocopies of a relevant historical manuscript, together with your own lettering studies” At this first level, you will be working with one basic hand only and its associated capitals. This will be either Foundational (Roundhand) in which case study the Ramsey Psalter, or Formal Italic, where you can study a hand by Arrighi or Francisco Lucas, or other fine Italian scribe. Find enlarged detailed illustrations from ‘Historical Scripts by Stan Knight, or A Book of Scripts, by A Fairbank, or search the internet. Stan Knight’s book is the ‘bible’ because the enlargements are clear and at least 5mm or larger body height – this is the ideal. Show by pencil lines & measurements on the enlargement how you have worked out the pen angle, nib-widths, ascender & descender heights and shape of O, arch formations etc, use a separate sheet to write down this information, perhaps as numbered or bullet points, such as: 1. Pen angle 2. 'x'height 3. 'o'form 4, 5,6 Number of strokes to each letter, their order, direction: - make a general observation, and then refer the reader to the alphabet (s) you will have written (see below), on which you will have added the stroke order and directions to each letter by numbered pencil arrows.

  • Use Hand Lettering Techniques to Make Calligraphy
    Use hand lettering techniques to make Calligraphy What is Calligraphy? Calligraphy has developed as a handwriting art across the globe throughout history. Egyptian heiroglyphics, manuscripts from the Middle Ages and many East Asian writing systems are all examples of calligraphy. Calligraphy is similar to hand lettering but usually describes cursive script where each letter flows into the next, while hand lettering allows for each letter to be created uniquely. You can make your handwriting beautiful and expressive by learning basic calligraphy and hand-lettering techniques. What materials do I need? You will need a calligraphy pen holder with a selection of nibs and ink OR round brushes and watercolor paint, paper towels and water. Smooth, thick paper that is gridded or lined can be helpful to practice the size of your letters. You can make your own lined paper with a pencil and a rolling ruler. If you don’t have calligraphy pens, brush-tipped calligraphy markers are an easy way to learn the basics of calligraphy. What are the benefits? Calligraphy is an inexpensive, meditative and relaxing way to build fine motor skills and memory retention. Expressing yourself through artful handwriting engages critical thinking and confidence building skills that will last a lifetime. Calligraphy can be used in decorative projects, calendars and journals that offer expressive and organizational opportunities. Calligraphy can also be used in the creation of unique gifts for others which strengthens relationships. Prepare your Paper Smooth, thick paper will help your writing tool or brush glide easily and will prevent ink or 1 watercolor paint from bleeding through.

  • Embodiment and Language: Alain Kirili’S Calligraphy in the Round
    EMBODIMENT AND LANGUAGE: ALAIN KIRILI’S CALLIGRAPHY IN THE ROUND Back in 2004 I organized a pocket-sized retrospective for Alain Kirili at the New York Studio School consisting of a mere dozen works ranged across his then thirty-year career. From the installers point of view, what this selection lacked in volume it made up for in density and mass. Especially irksome to them was Summation, 1981, a squat totem pole in forged iron of a little over four feet high that nonetheless weighed a ton. Strapping tattooed building crew had to heave it onto blankets, an inch at a time, their collective toil accompanied by much cursing. The artist came by the next day to inspect my placement and announced himself delighted. But he did want Summation brought out into the room more. Taking a deep breath I prepared to summon the teamsters, but Alain already had his creation is a bear hug and with a couple of deft twists of his frame, and barely so much as a grunt, had the piece exactly where he wanted it. A short man with the sweetest smile, Kirili is nonetheless, as a friend of mine said about his own father, “built for violence.” This body image tallies readily enough with an artist who, in hands-on collaboration with traditional artisans in Virginia or in Mali, works the ageless craft of smithery, beating into piping hot extensions of metal his desired bends and kinks. And yet the same frame and muscle are equally responsible for the exquisite filament of weightless wire or the almost draped arrangement of rubber hose in the Aria series.
