PLAYING WITH ROMANS, Explorations with Villu Toots: VIDEOS RECORDED
The Roman capitals, so beautiful, often push back with their precision, strong geometry and sense of perfection.
We will start by reviewing the basics of historical Roman proportions.
Then we will dive into the marvelously lively letters of Villu Toots. We will play with their shapes, size and structure, generating interesting calligraphic experimentation and abstract new forms. Approaching these wonderful letters from new and different angles, our transformations will guide us on exciting new paths of study and creation.
