Roman Empire and finish with late Gothic, going right up to and slightly after the invention of the printing press.

Students will also learn to draw decorations to accompany the written word: borders, simple decorations, motifs
and colors; working up to beginner knot work and carpet pages. The making of medieval manuscripts, how to

create a composition, types of books and materials used will also be discussed. Students will learn some
common calligraphic styles for different areas of the Christian world and then learn how to decorate in styles
unique to that area. Students should be comfortable with occasional note taking and with basic handwriting.

• Jr Calligraphy- (geared towards middle school, grades 4-6) A combination history, handwriting and art class that

introduces students to the waning art of beautiful writing. The class will focus on the basics of how to use
calligraphy pens to create useful projects, like greeting cards, bookmarks, frame-able wall art, mini illuminated
books, fancy envelopes and much more. Students will learn how to manipulate the pens to create simple
designs and borders as well as different scripts. Some color work will be explored, as we learn to decorate by
painting plants, flowers, bugs, birds and more in Brushwork- an old pastime that requires no drawing skills.

We'll combine everything we've learned at the end of the year to create our own unique treasure maps.

Requirements: Students must be comfortable writing in print and and have some basic knowledge of cursive

before taking this course. Teacher: Teresa Hemphill Recommended Donation of $12 per weekly class
