OBJECTIVE

My concept and challenge behind the book as a whole will be based on the history of calligraphy, but will communicate through my own style and exploration of handwritten words with Japanese ink and brush, nib pens, flat modern Pilot pens, and large size paint brushes on a bigger scale. Some will have a traditional straight forward style, while other examples will have a mixture of calligraphy and graffiti style. All styles will tie into its roots and will evoke the viewer to have the want to explore on their own.

DESIGN

The main message I want to get across to the audience, is that old and unique ways of calligraphy are still used and created, but not as much in present time. And the more the artform is practiced, the more people will create it experimentally. You just have to put in the time and effort. The take away for the audience is to view what examples created and researched and to have the want to research on their own.
