The (he)Art of the Scribe

Salzano, Rachel

Abstract

Calligraphy is the art of beautiful writing. One aspect of calligraphy is what I call calligraphy illustration, where the beautiful writing is used to create additional images. The creation of calligraphy illustrations can contribute to meaning making, meaning changing, and communication without the necessity of the written word. In this session, you’ll have the opportunity to create your own calligraphy illustration. Words of a poem will be provided, and you can use them to create a calligraphy illustration that resonates with you. By the end of the session, we’ll have a full poem of multiple illustrations.
