Chalkboard lettering has become very popular in recent years. In this workshop, students will learn several different styles of hand drawn lettering as well as other design elements (such as flourishes, borders, and ribbons) and we will combine these components to create chalkboard style pieces of artwork. We will explore the essential elements of chalkboard design and layout and will work in both black on white and white on black. Students will create a sketch for one complex chalkboard layout and we will do several smaller designs, all working on paper. We will also touch on working large scale on chalkboard surfaces.

This class is ideal for students who want to better understand this style of lettering, for students wanting to learn more about layout and design in lettering art, for students who want to explore the art of hand drawn lettering, and for students who want a new area of lettering to explore.
