NOTE: this module is included in the 5 day class Rhythm & Eurhythmics Calligraphic layouts often merely fill space, but we will explore how compositionally active spaces can be created by dividing the picture plane with lines of writing. Exercises in rhythmic repetition & paraphrasing of calligraphic elements will lead to the development of works from thumbnail sketches to dynamic compositions.
