Last week began a new cycle of middle school students. I'm happy to say that some students have returned to take the course again. This time around, they are getting warmed up with Illuminated Letters, inspired by Medieval writing. Students copied their letter in a serif font, and began their first class by brainstorming symbols about themselves and their life to incorporate into their designs. The tricky part of illuminated letters is finding ways to merge your drawings with the letter, creating something that is an equal mix of text and image. Students did an amazing job using the natural forms of the letter to inspire their drawings. The second class, they finished up their brainstorming and some moved on to their final copy. I can't wait to see the finished drawings!
