Try handwriting that is easy and can be truly beautiful when it comes from your own hand: calligraphy. My name is Chuck McGavren and I teach calligraphy. While I have ten years' experience in the classroom as a part-time non-credit adult education instructor, I'm trying something new by taking my lessons to the Internet. I want both teachers and students to learn some things to make their calligraphy projects more fun and personally rewarding.
Use good design along with new tools and methods I show here for compelling visual presentations. See my e-mail address at the end of this page if you have some things you would like me to discuss on these pages. I take special requests!
Recent student requests show there is an interest in a greater variety of letter forms. Check out the full alphabet pages I have added to the list of lessons. These full alphabet examples do not have a lot of instructional notes with them. They serve as model alphabets for students who have already had a little practice on the first lessons. I have included a couple sheets of letters I drew with my left hand for those of you who would like to try left hand calligraphy.
Lessons . . . . .
Here there are lessons for individual Chancery (italic) lower case letters. Following these are the full alphabet pages for Chancery, Gothic, left hand Gothic and a shadow effect Gothic (helps students think about the negative space surrounding letters). All these pages are linked from the "Lessons" page.
