Calligraphy for Kids

Download or read book Calligraphy for Kids written by William A. Bostick and published by LA Stampa Calligrafica. This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fun way for youngsters to learn calligraphy as well as beautiful & legible handwriting. Unfortunately, these skills aren't usually acquired in schools today. Before printing, sample pages were tested on sixth & seventh graders. The students' enthusiastic participation & delightful testimonials such as, "I think your book is great!" & "If I saw it in a bookstore I would buy it," encouraged us to proceed. The budding calligrapher goes over the author's large Chancery quotation for each letter & then repeats the calligraphy on his own, both large & at normal handwriting size. Cartoon 'live letters' liven each page & students are encouraged to draw their own. The cover reproduces Chancery & six other alphabets for kids to explore. It opens up the whole wonderful world of calligraphy to a youngster. But of course, adults can also learn from it: the age range is 6 to 96! Book dealers & stores selling educational material for children tell us that there is nothing like CALLIGRAPHY FOR KIDS on the market today. It's unique!
