Skyler Chubak- Borders & Scrolls
In this class we will break down borders into simple understandable concepts, starting with the basics and slowly building up more elaborate designs. We will go over repeated designs, acanthus leaves, ornamental work, scrolls, and traditional medieval patterns. Scroll work can be daunting but we will break up scrolls into simple shapes and concepts that you will be able to build up for elaborate designs. We will go over coloring and painting a design as well. The aim with this class is to walk you through some simple concepts and have you leave with the skills to make your own designs to add to your certificate work and illumination!
