Cursive/Calligraphy: Power of the Pen

Session: II

Time: PM

Grades: 3/4/5/6

Instructor: Cynthia Bogatka

Course Code: 115

Great handwriting allows you to express yourself quickly and clearly, whether taking notes in class, writing personal notes about ideas, or communicating with family and friends. Create your own “cursive identity” by mastering the Palmer Method. Use “your whole arm” to write and let your “fingers serve as the guides” as you begin to see proper letter formation, spacing and slant angles. Practice the art of calligraphy by using special marker pens to learn basic script. Frame your own cursive/calligraphic work of art, such as a handwritten letter or a favorite pen. Bring patience, determination, and a special pen if desired. Listen to favorite music while writing.
