Cursive writing is a skill that not only improves memory, it builds patience! For our project, we will practice writing our names in cursive using paintbrushes and liquid watercolors, much like ancient Chinese calligraphers. Once we have perfected our names, we will use high quality watercolor paper to create beautiful cursive names. After we have mastered the art of cursive writing, we will create illuminated names, adding metallic accents that can be framed or displayed as a token of our hard work and efforts. Taking an activity that is normally taught through repetitive, non creative activity and transforming it to a hands on, creative lesson makes the concept of rote seem less rigorous.
