Academic Level
This is a drawing and design class focused on typography. Students start with calligraphy, then they learn to draw letterforms with accuracy beginning with hand lettering to develop their hand/eye coordination, later finishing their projects digitally. Students learn typographic families and history while performing structure (anatomy, proportion/weight, understanding the differences between display type and text). Students will be able to select, modify and design individual and creative typographic solutions and to integrate typography into their illustrative projects.
