Calligraphy: Composing with Different Tools and Techniques

Calligraphy: exploring different tools and techniques

“Thank you very much for participating in my course! I hope you enjoyed the entire process and that it was fun and enriching. To help with organization, I've put together a list of essential steps I'd like to see in your project: 1. Choose the musical phrase that best expresses and summarizes what you feel. Remember that what you want to communicate and what is the main message you want to convey to the viewer is very important. 2. Create numerous sketches, try to exercise your creativity to the maximum. Try different compositions until you reach the desired result. 3. Choose the sketch you like best. With it in hand, reproduce it lightly and loosely on a larger scale. Do this a few times to adapt and get a sense of the real proportions of the project. 4. With the sketch enlarged, redo it in a more defined manner, adjusting the details and making the necessary refinements. Use the guide lines to help you in this process. 5. Organize your workspace. Carefully choose the right materials and colors that best express your proposal. 6. Calmly and accurately, draft your entire project. Pay attention to the details, but without losing balance and harmony. 7. Once the project is finished, scan it in high resolution or take a photo. Go to Adobe Photoshop and make any necessary adjustments or modifications, if necessary. Explore other possibilities and create other versions.
