Cursive Book Hand. Distinctive letters : The difficulty of reading this script comes more from the antiquated and eccentric spelling and vocabulary of Middle English than from difficulties with decoding the letters. Latin at least is consistent. The script is cursive in that the letters are joined, but each letter is fairly clearly delineated. Ascenders of letters such as b, d, h, l and k have large loops. The letter i is dotted with a fine diagonal slash, while y has a dot when it is used as a vowel.
The letter a has been simplified to a single chambered form. There is a different form of y when used as a consonant, known as a yogh, which supposedly represents a sound intermediate between y and g, and while the letter resembles the rare occurrence of z, it is actually quite a different thing. The letters u and v are indistinguishable, but n is rounded and easily distinguished from them. There are no examples of q, x or z. Pass the cursor over the lines shown to get the idea. Penmanship. Spencerian PenmanshipPreparing some of our homeschool curriculum for next year. I feel that handwriting and penmanship are very important.
So we are going to incoorperate some penmanship/calligraphy into our lessons.Wish me luck...the one that I'm starting with is left~handed. Thank goodness there are some guide~lines and help for Left-Handed Penmanship and Calligraphy. Irish Calligraphy. Irish (Gaeilge) is very different from English, there are only 18 letters to work with and yet the letters can make many sounds. The sounds even differ from county to county, confusing! Irish started to decline in Ireland during the 1800s. In the late 1800s, the British stopped teaching Irish in schools in Ireland in an attempt to make the Irish more British. Irish during this time was typically used by only the poor who were more likely to emigrate from Ireland, leaving very few speakers in Ireland. I found this writing style in an Irish primer published in the 1840s. I thought it was very pretty and decided to map it out in case someone wanted to use it for Christmas cards.
Nollaig Shona Duit (pronounced "No- lihg HO- nah ditch") roughly translates as "Happy Christmas. " Arabic, Ottoman & Persian Calligraphy | Kufic and maghribi scripts. Calligraphy Design: Acanthus Leaves | The Calligraphy Pen. Acanthus leaves are an extremely versatile design element with calligraphy. The fluid, organic shapes can provide a visual relief from dense blocks of text such as Gothic, add an element of color to monochromatic lettering, enhance a decorated initial or bring a sense of movement to a static layout. Work In Progress - Acanthus Leaves Painted on Vellum Take a look around – you might be surprised at how often acanthus leaves are used as decorative design elements – not only in illuminated manuscripts, but in architecture, metal work, furniture, fabrics, porcelain, wallpapers – almost anywhere!
A fascinating insight as to how acanthus leaves were drawn and painted in manuscripts is in the 15th Century Gutenberg Model Book. There are many styles of acanthus leaves in illuminated manuscripts, and variations can be found in borders, initials, backgrounds and other decorative elements. In this demonstration, we’ll draw and paint a simplified “Gutenberg” style acanthus leaf. What you need: Step 1: Calligraphy Design: Acanthus Leaves | The Calligraphy Pen. Calligraphy Design: Simple Drawn and Painted Borders | The Calligraphy Pen. One of the most fascinating aspects of illuminated manuscripts is the range and diversity of the borders. Elements can include stylized and naturalistic foliate drawings, (flowers, ivy, leaves, buds), geometric shapes and pen sprays often growing from border bars anchored to illuminated initials. This demonstration will look at a few basic structures and incorporate various common elements found in manuscripts to create simple borders with added layers of complexity as a starting point to either creating your own designs or researching manuscripts to recreate “authentic” styles.
The border designs in this demonstration are a simple Symmetrical Border, a Repeating Spiral Border and a Border Bar with Ivy. I have also included references to a few manuscripts from the British Library Catalogue of Illuminated Manuscripts for each design to give you an idea of the use, range and diversity of the elements. Drawing Borders What you need: These designs use very simple shapes that are easy to draw. Calligraphy Design: Simple Drawn and Painted Borders | The Calligraphy Pen.
