Description

Description

Amongst our lettering art endeavours, we have the opportunity to express words we choose and add multiple dimensions to that expression. Whether it is abstract or a simple design a tiny thread of text can create contrast and visual impact. During this class I will demonstrate how to write in “threads”, a very loose tiny style of text which can tie elements of a piece together. These threads can be a “whisper” in a piece, reflecting the theme or be an added design element.

Session One: We will focus on creating the thread writing working both in pencil and ink. We will focus on the individual elements that are the basis of this style and how to create a rhythmic and expressive line. We will then create some abstract marks with ink. I will show some options for backgrounds on to which text will be added. Students will determine what words they would like to work with.

Session Two: We will begin with creating some backgrounds and/or a single design element around which we will add text. Students will choose text they wish to add to the pages and then determine what kind of background or image will be the inspiration based on the text. I will demonstrate techniques that could be used.

Session Three: We will begin the session by combining the “thread” writing with the chosen text, and then find ways to create visual contrast and interest ensuring that the process enhances the final design. The goal is to have these additional threads of text be the elements that bring an additional “bit” that can bring life to the words.
