UNLOCKING THE OVAL
Mike Ward, Instructor
REGISTRATION FOR THIS CLASS IS NOW CLOSED.
Through analysis of traditional designs and a thorough explanation of "oval theory," students will learn the steps to creating a beautifully balanced design. Working primarily with pencil and eraser, the "stress" of controlling a pointed pen is taken away and we can fully focus on making the minute changes that take a design from decent to extraordinary.
This class is open to all skill levels, a working knowledge of pointed pen script and ovals will be helpful. Specific alphabets and letterforms will not necessarily be covered.
