This book is <strong>great for kids and it is an excellent start-up for adults, too</strong>!<strong>--Angela Vangalis, founder of Texas Lettering Arts Council and co-editor/designer of the 24th Edition of the <em>Speedball Textbook</em></strong></p> <p>Having begun my own calligraphy career using messy inks and difficult metal pens that took a long time to master, Sally Sanders' approach puts more familiar tools in the hands of children and guides them through <strong>easy-to-learn</strong> ways to take their handwriting to an expressive level. With many school systems eliminating art and handwriting programs in favor of computers, <em>Modern Calligraphy for Kids</em> will bring the joy and beauty of making things by hand back into a child's life. Beginning with thorough supply lists that describe in detail the kinds of tools available, Sally <strong>demonstrates a variety of lettering styles</strong> in this book, keeping them fun while showing how to take it to an elegant and expressive craft.<strong>--Annie Cicale, instructor and author of <em>The Art & Craft of Hand Lettering</em></strong></p> <p>A book to encourage and stimulate interest in modern calligraphy for children of all ages. The pages are set out clearly in a gentle sequence covering the history of writing and the practical steps to achieve a contemporary calligraphic hand. <strong>Well written and so beautifully illustrated</strong> throughout, this book will be a constant companion and guide for those interested in our alphabetical heritage.<strong>--Peter Thornton, instructor and freelance calligrapher</strong></p> <p>What a <strong>great resource for students and art teachers alike</strong>! Professional calligrapher Sally Sanders makes the process accessible and enjoyable while maintaining the quality and character of the art form. I really appreciate the <strong>specific recommendations of markers and papers</strong> that make the process <strong>accessible for beginners</strong>.<strong>--Alan Doe, art teacher at Western Reserve Academy</strong></p><br>
