Class Experience

In this hands-on workshop course designed for 10- to 13-year olds, we will explore various lettering styles, adding artistic touches to everyday handwriting. (14- and 15- years olds are very welcome! But the course is targeted to tweens.) The class begins with several simple techniques, then progresses to multi-step styles like graffiti letters. The course mixes demonstration, workshop time for students to practice lettering, and "5-minute challenge," an activity that I designed to spark creativity and inspiration. 

Vocabulary and concepts from font design are introduced during instruction and demonstration. No previous art experience is necessary; the course is designed for students who are willing to learn and try new techniques. 

Supplies that are available in the home can be used: plain paper, thin and thick markers or lettering pens, pencil, eraser, ruler. 

Learners who enjoy this class can continue in my Part II class (scroll down to see the link).

Other Details

Supply List
Students need several sheets of paper (a notebook, sketchbook, or journal works well), a pencil, a ruler and a good eraser to begin. Optional supplies include color pens, markers or pencils.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
