Sherrie Lovler - Making It Your Daily Practice: Inspired by Dick Beasley - Apr 18, 25; May 2, 9

The next module of 4 classes will be lessons inspired by my teacher, Dick Beasley (1934–1992). I studied with him in the late 1980s and have kept his lessons near and dear to my heart. His bright use of color, impeccable sense of design, experimentation and whimsy, made him one of the forefathers of “taking calligraphy out of the box.” If you have seen his work, or just want to try something new, these 1-hour classes will not only whet your appetite, they will give you the information you need to create experimental work on your own. That is what Beasley did for me: he gave me the tools I needed to do the work I do today. These will be lessons 18–21 in my series of 33 lessons, but anyone (even if you’re new to calligraphy or painting) can jump right in. I teach every lesson as a stand-alone snippet of art. These are not lessons in calligraphy, although some letters will be used. Included will be instruction on using the monoline Roman capital letters. I will be teaching in a hand-made 4x3" book (you can learn to make the book from this prerecorded lesson https://www.artandpoetry.com/classes/marking-time ) or you can use a journal or just paper. All lessons will be recorded and available for 2 months.
