Illuminated Letter














This year we focused our Illuminated Letter project around calligraphy fonts and flourish. The students really ran with these design concepts and the detailing turned out fantastic. So to highlight their detailing we finished the project by adding black glue to outline the border, letter and designed. Black glue leave a raised, glossy finish and it really made the student work pop!

Micrography

The 8th grade class studied pen and ink techniques focusing on texture and value created by ink. For History Day students collaborated on Micrographys which emphasized historical people that made and impact on society.
