Brush-Written Imperial Romans

Maximum Participants: 20
Location: Art Institute of Colorado
Maximum Participants: 20
Location: Art Institute of Colorado
This workshop will guide you
through a hands-on understanding of the Imperial Roman Alphabet as you utilize
an inside-out approach to these timeless letterforms. You will learn the
special characteristics and ‘personality’ of the brush as contrasted with
hard-tool calligraphy while practicing the essential elements of the classical
Roman. Before the workshop is done you will move on to writing out the entire
alphabet in the same manner as the ancient Roman inscription maker would do
prior to cutting the letters in stone. A short inscription cutting
demonstration will be provided as an addition to the class.
During the
Weekend (TBA):
The Life and Times of Father
Edward M. Catich
An
illustrated lecture by Paul Herrera
Reverend Edward M. Catich has an
international reputation as a calligrapher, teacher, scholar and artist. He was also a professional Chicago sign
painter and musician in the 1920’s while he attended the Art Institute. In
addition to being an artist, Catich was also an accomplished musician! Many of
Father Catich’s works will be shown as illustrations of his life during the
presentation. Paul Herrera was a student, apprentice and friend of Father
Catich. He traveled with him, worked with him and taught with him at the
Davenport Municipal Art Gallery in Davenport, Iowa.
