Today was day one of week three and man oh man has it been interesting so far (aside from a kindergartener throwing up on my brand new carpet today)! As many of you know I started at a brand new school this year - so I've had to start from scratch with my art program! I'm not sure why I just expected that the county would give me additional money for start up supplies (scissors, rulers, etc.)... cauuuuseee that didn't happen. In fact every art teacher in our county lost $50 each from our consumable budgets! :/ Sooo $400 for 1,200 kids? Awesome. Fortunately for me I have a pretty awesome principal who seems sympathetic to my position. So when day one rolled around and I still didn't have my county money, I had to rely on my own wallet for supplies. I bought some printer paper, crayons, colored pencils, and markers and started brainstorming for lessons. After much thought I landed on 'Creative Letter Drawings' for my 1st graders (a lesson I learned from my supervising teacher during student teaching). I started by reading the book "Louise Loves Art" by Kelly Light. The book is about a little girl who creates her greatest masterpiece (a drawing of her cat) but then her little brother cuts it up and makes it into something else (his greatest masterpiece). Then we talked about the idea of taking something and transforming it into something else. That's when I told my students that I was going to give them a letter of the alphabet and it was their job to turn it into something else (I suggested an animal). After drawing an example on the board, my students got to work! I LOVE LOVE LOVE their creativity!! *Some of these are not yet complete - but I just couldn't wait to post about it! As students finished their artwork.. I gave them the 'Alphabet Challenge.' They got a piece of paper with all the letters of the alphabet on it and were instructed to add a creative drawing to as many letters as they could by the end of class. I got a couple of really cute pieces! :) My teacher's example.

Hello - Megan from Makewells here! I'm back with a post introducing my favorite aspect of hand lettering: adding color! In the last few lettering posts, I've talked about the infinite possibilities there are with drawing letters. Now, with the addition of color, the variations are going to continue to grow. To get started, below are my favorite paints to use when I add color to my hand lettering pieces: This is the one area of lettering where I do tend to splurge a little. You can use any combination of acrylics and watercolors, however, my favorites are: Golden High Flow Acrylics: (link: http://www.dickblick.com/products/golden-high-flow-acrylics/) I primarily use titanium white and mix it with my watercolors to give them a little more of an opaque body. Golden's High Flow acrylic series is wonderful if you are trying to achieve smooth brushstrokes. Dr. Ph. Martins Hydrus Fine Art Watercolor and Radiant Concentrated Water Color -(link: http://www.dickblick.com/products/dr-ph-martins-hydrus-fine-art-liquid-watercolors/) Oh how I love these little bottles of magic. The colors are absolutely striking - super rich. Blick Matte Acrylics (link: http://www.dickblick.com/products/blick-matte-acrylics/) These are very affordable and I have just about every color. They're very versatile. I'm not a "purist" by any means when it comes to painting, so I mix these three paints together all the time to achieve the colors and consistency that I'm looking for. Remember, it's all about what works for you (and your budget!). So find paints that work for you and splurge only if you want to. As for brushes - I typically stick with very small, synthetic, round bristled brushes for lettering. I have been using Blick Master Synthetics recently and love them. If you plan on adding paint to your hand lettering, getting started is no different than drawing. I always start with sketches! Once I'm happy with my initial concept, I'll redraw in pencil very lightly (I sketched darker above so you could easily see) on Strathmore Vellum Surface Bristol Board. (link: http://www.dickblick.com/products/strathmore-300-series-bristol-board-pads/) This is my favorite surface to work on because of how smooth and sturdy it is. Next, I do a first "wash" of paint just to block in the shapes of each letter. When the first layer is dry, I'll usually go back and erase any pencil lines before going in for more detail. I love adding dimension to letters by adding shadows and highlights. I'll blend and fade colors as well to add even more interest. And just like drawing letters, it takes a lot practice. Developing your own unique style is half the fun! I love adding embellishments to certain words/letters as well. Sometimes all it takes is a few polka dots! Sometimes I'll give a letter/word a washy drop shadow. Or go back with a super fine brush for detailed lines and patterns. For practice, if you've worked your way through the 1 Letter 100 Ways exercise, try mixing up the alphabet in all sorts of styles and colors: Make sure to show us your work by hashtagging your photos on instagram #redefinecreativelettering. I'll be back soon with some tips on crafting phrases! Meg Makewells Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/makewells Makewells Instagram: @makewells Makewells Website: http://www.makewells.com
