Program Description
Rhythm is the heartbeat of calligraphy. In this demonstration, Sharon will show you how to use ordinary tools to loosen up and practice an informal cursive italic. Because there are fewer pen lifts, and there is a natural swing from down stroke up the diagonal, italic is perfect for developing rhythm in our writing. Once we get the “beat,” we’ll have fun learning some simple polyrhythms to add individual flair and dynamism to our personal Italic hand.

This program is a preview of the upcoming workshop Illuminating the Dark offered by Heather Martinez, Tech Host Architect www.TechHostAcademy.com.
