Yukimi Annand - One Stroke Letters with Decoration - May 6 & 13

In this workshop we will play with line, shape, and movement by creating one-stroke letters based on Roman capital letters. Our form development will be contemporary rather than traditional, and we will play with decorative patterns and colors in harmony.

The first half of the class: making variations of one-stroke letters based on Roman capitals with pencils and fine-line markers. Then we will move to a ruling pen and/or folded pen to draw them with Sumi ink. We will try to get a nice balance on each letter and write words and text with rhythm and movement. We will apply different decorative patterns based on historical and nature forms on the letters.

The second half of the class: we will apply colors on the letters and finalize one to two words or initial plates on good quality paper. We will also practice another form of one stroke letters influenced by works of Hans Schmidt and write several words with them with decoration.

Class Cost: Members $60 CAD, Non-Members $75 CAD
