Week 2-Reflection

This week i practiced writing some letters of the alphabet in calligraphy. I was surprised by the diffucutly of making lines thick and thin. Many times when I tried, it would look like regular cursive. One other thing that I had to learn was how to put together the fountain pen but it was fairly easy. Next time, I will probably put something under the paper I was writing on so I don’t stain my desk. My next steps will be practicing wrtiting different words and hopefully get better at making the lines thicker and thinner.

Week 1

This week, I started with basic strokes with fountain pens and brush pens. I found that brush pens are much easier to use than fountain pens. Both pens need a certain angle to have consistent thick and thin lines. If you hold brush pens too upright, they can become damaged.

Planning

For my genius hour project, I am going to learn how to do calligraphy.

The things I need are brush pens and markers. I already have these items so I won’t have to buy anything

Some things I will need to do to accomplish this are taking a class or watching people use brush pens on youtube. I might need help with where to put the pressure to make diffrent widths.

For the my presentation in February, I will probably make a video of me writing different things.
