KidsArt Store Entrance | Drawing Supplies For Kids Mixed Media and Collage | Drawing Supplies for Kids First Steps Calligraphy This book is a very good place for the beginner in calligraphy to start, and continues to be a useful reference even to the intermediate calligrapher. The author begins with the materials...different typs of pens, nibs, inks and papers are discussed. The author then explains the letter forms...Italic, Roman, Swash Capitals and Cursive Italic are covered in great detail. Each pen stroke is shown and the sequence of strokes is made clear, as well as margins, alignment, layout, multiple columns, and line length and centering. We recommend this book to accompany the Calligraphy Kit. ...More great books in the "First Steps..." series:

The templates will give young calligraphers a great starting point for creating their own beautiful written designs. We recommend this book for students age 12 and up...and for younger kids with a special love of beautiful lettering. |
