The time has come to start to understand fonts better. You have learned about the origins of some early fonts (in your papers about famous typographers,) and now you will learn more about the characters themselves.Today, I am handing out examples of three different fonts. I want you to pick your favorite one and reproduce it. On 11x17 paper (I will provide,) recreate the font of your choice. This will probably use more than one sheet of paper. That's o.k. I have more. :)
USE PENCIL TO CREATE THESE!
Take your time! Pay close attention to the details in the letterforms. Once you are sure they are correct, and as close to the original font as possible, I want you to GO OVER THESE IN INK. Do NOT erase your pencil marks as I want to be able to see them!!!
You will have all of today's class period today to work on these and you will finish them for homework over the weekend. If you are caught tracing letters instead of actually drawing them, you will FAIL this assignment and be forced to complete TWO more to make up for it. Don't take the easy path and try to trace these.
HOMEWORK:
• Complete your recreation of ONE font on 11x17 paper I've handed out.
• These are due at the beginning of class on Monday!
