Moorhead Community Education

Calligraphy is the age-old art of beautiful writing. This basic class will focus on the comprehensive study of the 26 elegant Uncial letter forms. With only 26 letters to learn we can learn good form and habits that we will build on with other calligraphy styles in other classes. Enjoy the shapes that simple tools can make on paper! Calligraphy classes offer you a chance to relax, have fun and learn a time-honored skill; they also increase your hand-eye coordination, patience and aesthetic awareness. This concentration will slow you down, and let creativity in. Lessons will consist of a theory section, forms, practice, review and a project. There is a weekly homework component because calligraphy needs practice. A pen will be available for purchase as needed.
