"Write as well as you can..." - Johannes Trithemius, 1492
An artistic tradition spanning millennia, calligraphy has been employed to exquisitely decorate everything from religious texts and legal documents to the more personal pages of party invitations and correspondence between friends.
Students at the Ravenswood Academy can expect one part tradition, one part experimentation in their calligraphy classes. On the one hand, after learning the basic strokes, they will be given historical alphabets from different time periods and cultures to meticulously copy under guiding supervision; on the other hand, they will also be given creative assignments in which they can employ their own ideas, ultimately resulting in a pen that is informed by tradition yet exploratory in the modern sense, crafting a style that is truly their own.
