The Art of Calligraphy

On Thursday 27th of August we had one of our class mates' mum come in to teach us Calligraphy. Calligraphy originated in the Stone Age! In Greek, Calligraphy means beautiful (kallos) writing (graphe). We learnt two basic lines then we put them together. Frills were added and a large tail shaped like a C. Some letters were harder than others. Capitals have more detail, but there are lower case letters as well. We wrote our names and other words of encouragement. We were only taught one style, even though there are many styles. It was challenging, but so much fun! We can use this art of writing when we make cards too. Thank you so much Mrs B for sharing this skill with us.
