This eight-week course introduces Norse runes as the focus for visual expression while also providing a taste of the history and culture of medieval Germanic Europe. The geometric forms and rich symbolism of the 2000-year-old Elder Futhark runes still influence our daily lives—from the Bluetooth logo to contemporary product design. It is important to use runes correctly. Elder and Younger Futhark, Anglo-Saxon runes, and the Ogham alphabet are phonetic, so can be written using any language. Their names, meanings, sounds, as well as straightforward construction are not only fascinating and useful, but they are easy to grasp technically due to their straight lines and simple angles! Course activities include constructing the 24 symbols of Elder Futhark; designing runes as word, monogram, or repeated pattern; and creating a series of simple to complex full-page layered work. Painterly design exercises with ink, resist, and watercolor techniques, along with daily spacing and layout guidance on Canvas interface, allow daily individual feedback during development phases. A model for hand-lettering using Roman alphabet capitals and minuscules will be demonstrated for use with contrasting bilingual texts and other hierarchies. This is a unique opportunity for lettering artists, book designers, illustrators and painters, product designers, and craftspeople or hobbyists to learn how to use runic alphabets confidently, while exploring positive and negative relationships, line quality, and color!
