This blog is the start of something great. For too long my written words have been hidden and meaning lost due to my poor penmanship. Humanity deserves to know the truth behind the words I write and for the beauty of the letters to match the beauty of my words and their meaning. The only way for our society to progress to its greatest state is for its people to rise to the truest calling of their potential. All the great songs I've written, manifestos, world-changing ideas, and research I've done will be dust to the wind if no one can read what I'm writing. With this project, calligraphy, I plan to save the future of mankind by reinventing my handwriting to a level where it is actually readable and finally answer the call to reach my highest potential.
The start of this adventure began by me venturing through the school to Mrs. Sutter's classroom. She is a great art teacher and knowing the mysterious ways of the application of human creative skill and application in making works for beauty and or emotional power upon viewing them. I acquired from her the necessary practice work that will allow me to practice in the so-called application of human creative skills. She also bestowed upon me a calligraphy pen and some ink to start practicing writing with. I probably got over 50 sheets of different letters, alphabets, and styles of calligraphy, but I definitely will not dive as deep into this project as my last one as that was very time-consuming. I was hoping to start actually practicing writing this first week but I didn't have the necessary supplies to do so. Next blog post I plan on showing you guys what my current level is if you already don't know, start to practice on some of the practice sheets Mrs. Sutter gave me. I hope all you guys learned some important lessons from this last project and apply those lessons learned to this one.
P.S If you can't handle bad handwriting, especially the sight of it, then for this project you better look to other blog posts for enjoyment. Alex Mitchel would be a great substitute.
It is really cool that you will be studying calligraphy. Especially since there is not such an emphasis on penmanship as there one was, and not very many people who know how to do calligraphy. Also, good luck with saving humanity.
ReplyDeleteLove the new writing style, and I think it will fit your quest for a new penmanship style. How one effects the other I know not. However, I can't wait to see how you progress over the course of this genius hour. Also, what kind of calligraphy were trying to learn again?
