Exploring the Relationships Among Drawing, Writing & Beauty
Cheerio Calligraphy Center, North Carolina

It is a profound human instinct to want to re-create beauty- to hold it in our eye or heart a moment longer. In this class we will begin to explore drawing and writing as a way to reflect beauty. We will work with two dimensional pieces (different alphabets) and from three-dimensional objects as a starting place for exercises in form and expression.

The attention that this activity requires is a way of developing seeing and creating line quality in drawing and writing. We will make small portfolios of our work as a visual diary or record of ideas and inspiration. Writing tools, paper, poetry, materials for the portfolio and objects of beauty will be provided.

The materials we will use include fine point pens, graphite, watercolor, walnut ink, sumi ink and poetry.

All levels of experience are welcome.
