Your class project is to create a lettering piece containing 2-5 words. It can be a simple phrase or a short quote.

See a list some for inspiration below:

Chill out
Live Love Laugh
Hello Monday
You Can Do It
Dream Big
No Means No
Find Your Fire

WHAT WILL YOU NEED?

Grab your iPad with Procreate on it. You don’t have it? No problem! The basic process can be followed along in any software or even traditionally! If you like to sketch with a real pencil and paper (like I do) you can grab those too!

A working knowledge of the program you are using is recommended!

RESOURCES:

In the “Projects and Resources” tab (shows only when you are in a browser, like Safari) you can download the resources I prepared for you. Make sure to get them before you start the class!

MAIN STEPS TO FOLLOW:

Meet Your Handwriting – Write the chosen words several ways and see how you write, connect and end your letters. Experiment until you find the best version of the words written in your handwriting.
Your Handwriting as a Path – Use the best version of your experiments as a base for creating the sketch for your art piece.
Paint Your Letters – Fill in the shapes and add some textures.
Add the 3D and Shine Effects – Make your artwork cool by adding space and light to your letters.
Finalize Your Artwork – Add elements to create an aesthetic composition.

See a more visual guide in the Resources as a PDF!

SHARE YOUR WORK!

After you are done watching the class and you finished your artwork, make sure to upload it to the Project Gallery by clicking on the “Create Project” button.

Include your image and a few words describing your experience to the “body” of the project. Please include a “cover” image to your project as well, as it helps others to find your artwork more easily.

Show Off! Share your artwork on social media! Make sure to tag me as @theartmother on IG, FB, TikTok, so that I can check it out and re-share on my network and get you some more exposure!

Check out the other projects of the class as well! Like and comment on the artworks of others – it will help you to connect with your fellow peers, get some inspiration and see the other creative solutions.

If you have any questions, feel free to use the “Discussion” board or contact me. I am happy to help you!

I am so much looking forward to see your final piece! Happy Creating!
