Next lesson!

Saturday, 12 July 2008

Now that you have been doing that practice of handwriting- I decided to set out to find a selection of perfect fonts for your computer so you can aspire to master the handwriting. All of these fonts are 100% free and all you need to do is:
Using the same method as described below in my first post- do the same with my pictures below- and print them. The ones underlined in red are ones I would not suggest using- and the ones underlined in blue are perfect to use. All the other ones are left for you to chose. Remember- you can mix and match these two typefaces. Also- some of the handwritten fonts have a tendency to be a little wonky- so please do not use the 'wonkyness' I have put up two pictures- one underlined and one not- for your convenience. Remember to enlarge them- simply drag the picture to the address bar. Have fun picking your new style!
Here are the pictures of the fonts:

Pen and Posture

Friday, 11 July 2008

A quick recap on pens and posture. Make sure your pen does not drag the paper and that your posture is straight and comfortable. If after a writing session of half an hour- your back aches- reposition yourself so that your back is straight and the base of your back at the back of your chair. :0 I hope that has helped!

Lesson time- Part 1

This post is going to be hard for me to write- so bear with me as I get to grips with the images etc.
OK- on Sheet A, I would like you to copy some of my (rather messy) patterns onto it, anywhere between 1 and 4 lines of each pattern will be adequate. Again drag this to the address bar enlarge! Here is the image:



I would suggest that you try to do this at LEAST once a day. Have fun!

Ok.

All is now revealed about the lesson which I have been keeping so secret. Well- if you are expecting something really good- then you may be disappointed! Well- simply- the big one (we'll call it sheet A) is for writing/drawing various patterns to improve flow and quality of writing. And the small sheet (guess what; we'll call it sheet B) is for practicing sentences and for logging progress.
PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO BOOKMARK THIS PAGE SO IF YOU RUN OUT OF HANDWRITING SHEETS YOU CAN PRINT SOME MORE OUT!!
So- sheet A:
Writing and drawing patterns.
Sheet B-
Writing sentences and logging progress.
And with that out of the way- I will post the next part for the lesson!

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Handwriting Tips 101!
Here I aim to improve handwriting of people; as well as embarking on a voyage to make my handwriting better! Well, enough of that blah, let's cut to the chase!!!
OK- it may be a little kid like this activity we will start with- but before any activities can even be done I would like you to print out two of EACH of these sheets before we go onto our first lesson!
Simply drag the image to the address bar click File > Page Setup.
Then proceed to uncheck the 'Shrink to Fit' box and then click the margins box. Set all of the drop down tabs to --blank-- and print. Then finally set all of the margins that you type in to 0000. Repeat for whenever you print one of these sheets out.
Yes- they are both different! So- don't forget- two of each...

More in the next post!
