The Art and History of Penmanship & Calligraphy Course

This is not your typical penmanship curriculum with daily letter drills that students trace and copy, it is this and much, much more. This elective course was designed to show students that writing can be fun, it can be useful, it can be artistic, and it is full of rich and exciting history. In addition to learning four forms of penmanship, history, and art, this curriculum contains scripture verses woven throughout the lessons and projects for a biblical and Christian focus. 

There is one teacher manual and two levels of student workbooks, 4-6 grade and 7-12 grade. Each level has two books. Book 1 covers print and cursive and Book 2 covers calligraphy and brush lettering. 
​
This is a full year, 180 days, elective course.  High school students can earn 1 credit on their transcript if they complete Book 1 and Book 2 or .5 credit if they complete just one of the books for a semester long elective. 

There is a Penmanship Charts booklet, John Speed Old-World Map, and Educational Websites & Video Links below that you will also need to go along with the student workbooks and teacher manual.
