Wrapping Up My Major Project

            The time has come to wrap up my major project, and this Ed Tech blog as a whole. Teaching myself calligraphy was a lot more annoying and also a lot more rewarding than I thought it would be.

          Here is a collage I made on picmonkey of my starting and final attempts at calligraphy.

           Here are my final attempts at calligraphy for this project. My penmanship has improved so much, and despite the mistakes I still am making, I've improved a lot. 

            It was not without trial and error along the way. Example, here’s my attempt once I finally got a pen to work.

Obviously not going as well as the markers do. I could not manipulate the thickness of the line the way I can with a marker, and still could not consistently get the pen to work.

This was a fun project to do, and was something I could easily do while I was watching reruns of Friends on Netflix in the evening. There was a lot of frustration, especially in the beginning, but this is something I think I’ve personally become pretty decent at over the last few weeks. I could definitely see myself working on this as a hobby, especially when it comes time for my mom’s wedding and she needs help doing things such as table number cards.

To summarize my project, I made a concept map full of things about calligraphy using bubbl.us.
