This four-part series of LivePlus™ online workshop is ideal for students of all levels
Workshop details
In this series, the majesty and strength of the monumental Roman lettering of the first century CE will be our focus. Our prime specimen will be the Trajan Inscription; its geometric balance, beauty and perfection is the pinnacle of the evolution and development of lettering as we know it today.
We will explore the history and the drawing of the Trajan inscription starting with its geometric skeletons. The class will then move on to a very contemporary, cut-back watercolour painting technique, building up layers of colour with the Trajan letter forms as our subject matter. The letters will be traced due to time constraints. The Akim Cursive and drawn capitals will be explored and used as a design element of support.
You needn't have the materials ready whilst watching the live demonstrations – they are a time to watch, ask and learn. After each class you will be sent a link to the recording, which you can work along with at home as many times as you wish for thirty days.
