This module offers an opportunity for students to develop an
appreciation for calligraphy and how it can be used to enhance a

many projects that they undertake during the year. It is also an

option for Craftwork in Leaving Cert. Art.
Working in groups, the students will use the Italic Script to promote
“Healthy Eating” by writing appropriate text in the GP area. This will

create a great opportunity for team work. Students will also have the
opportunity to add small designs or drawings to their pieces if they

wish.
This craft is particularly suitable for those students who have not

formally studied Art up to Junior Cert as all students will begin a new
experience together.
