Homework
This is a one-time class, so Learners will not have homework — however, there will be encouragement to finish their projects that they started in class, as there may not be enough time depending on how quickly the Learner works. Kids often want to continue practicing their skills beyond the classroom!

Class Experience

Join Ms. Ren in creating beautiful Calligraphy using bold Crayola (or other broad line) markers! Learners will use materials they have at home to learn the technique of actual Calligraphy — it's super easy to write letterforms using guided worksheets and direction from Ms. Ren (a professional Lettering Artist). We'll cover basic stroke warmups to get the technique down, writing each letter together (with many examples to follow along), and then try our hand at Calligraphy names and words. 

Calligraphy is a very useful skill to learn, as it can be used to create word art, names on envelopes, handmade gifts, eye-catching signs, or for school projects (and that's only the beginning!). Ms. Ren has taught many in-person and online classes to a variety of ages and skills on Calligraphy techniques. She is known for explaining the process of the Calligraphy strokes and flourishes with passion and plenty of encouragement! It can be a meditative artform, and Learners tend to catch on quickly — many of them go on to practice their skills even beyond the classroom setting, showing real focus and pride as they craft beautiful words in the Calligraphy style.

Learning Goals

Learners will be guided through the following, using custom letter learning worksheets (that must be printed at home):

• Using the tool (markers) in the correct way, creating thick and thin strokes to achieve the look of Calligraphy
• Warming up with basic Calligraphy strokes to practice
• Formation of the 26 lowercase letters (English alphabet)
• Formation of the 26 uppercase letters (English alphabet)
• Writing words with connecting Calligraphy letters
• Motivational quote practice, using guides — or Learners can create their own!

Other Details

Supply List
• Printed worksheets (provided by Ms. Ren as a free PDF file) with warm-up strokes and letterform guides (upper and lowercase English alphabet)
• Broad Line Markers (any colors) or a similar thick-tip or brush-tip marker — Ms. Ren suggests using Crayola Broad Line Markers, but any drawing marker will be just fine
• Blank drawing paper — Ms. Ren suggests smooth white computer paper
• Tracing paper — this works well to allow Learners to trace their letters while they're learning!
• Pencil with eraser
