Art Skills Club - Letchworth Art Centre - Summer Term
These photos below are from a session I ran at the Art Skills Club at Letchworth Art Centre in the summer term where the students focussed on designing with text forms to make complete compositions. I showed them a selection of my own text based paper pieces, and demonstrated too how I work out the spacing for my lettering pieces, along with examples of how to use letter forms within strong graphic compositions. Students looked at the
Faber and Faber "Eighty years of Book Cover Design by Joseph Connelly" along with lettering books too such as
A Hand Job - catalog of Type by Michael Perry and the wonderful
Linda Barry's "What it is". Working initially in pencil, the students then beefed up their deigns with the use of strong felt -tip colour. The students produced some beautiful and bold works on paper.
