This is an introductory look at Italic or Cancelleresca, one of the most widely used and versatile calligraphic hands around. Italic is the perfect hand to learn for the beginning calligrapher yet versatile enough to experiment with for the advanced.
Students will be given handouts and guide sheets as we learn the basic construction of all lower case characters.
A brief presentation and demo will be given of the capitals and of spacing and flow within the construction of a word.
This workshop will be help by Giuseppe Salerno
“Calligraphy is the mixture of all kinds of art. There is a lot going in on in this art form. There is math, geometry, spacing, expressionism, feelings, rules, composition, paper, dirtiness, mess and order.”
The 100 best posters of Germany, Austria and Swiss from 2014 can be seen on this exhibition for free. The opening Ceremony is on 18. of June at 19.00 o'clock at Kulturforum.
