______________________________
THIS COURSE IN A NUTSHELL
This course has been designed to offer beginner and intermediate students with existing knowledge of Copperplate calligraphy an on-going 12-week support in their learning journey. Using an attention to detail and in-depth approach, students will solidify their knowledge as well as up-skill, refine and fine tune their Copperplate calligraphy skills.
Basically, this course is a bridge between my live online Level 1 and Level 3 Copperplate courses.
______________________________
COURSE OVERVIEW
This calligraphy course features 17 modules with videos and handouts to support you and your Copperplate calligraphy journey.
I strongly recommend studying 1 hands-on lesson per week -from Module 4 to Module 17. In this way, you’ll focus on a specific topic for 7 days, making this course an on-going learning support for over 3 months!
My teaching style is a mix of my professional practices which are calligraphy, lettering, typography and type design. I analyse in depth key characters of the lower and uppercase alphabet (minuscules and majuscules) to give you additional insights on the relationship between letters, and to offer a better understanding of the structure of a script (connected) alphabet.
I cannot wait to see what you come up with at the end of this solid introductory course!
