Yukimi Annand, Instructor
Start with creating marks with different writing tools and found objects. Students form alphabets and write text with the original letterforms. The core of this workshop is the meaning of the text and we will challenge how much emotion we can put into our marks and how we can express feeling into our writing. We examine writing speed, pressure, the directions of strokes, the relationship between marks and negative spaces. Exercises include layering different mediums and use of colors. Basic design layout, composition will be discussed during the workshop. All exercise sheets will be assembled in a book form and construct accordion books and/or series of individual pages with selected exercise pieces to present our journey in sequence.
