Correspondence Course
Tutor: Monica Dengo
It comes to us through the ages and is an innitely important bearer of our culture. Monica
Dengo has been studying and developing new approaches to handwriting for the last fteen
years. While teaching to art and graphic design students, she became aware of their need for
personal expression and the lack of a handwriting culture inWestern society. This course is the
result of many years of teaching Western calligraphy and handwriting to students from many
parts of the world, including Italy, Belgium, France, Holland, Norway, Japan, the United States,
India, China, Bulgaria, Lutuania, Iran, Lebanon and many others.
The course offers the study of both historical and contemporary Italic handwriting. There are
exercises to guide the students to the understanding of writings visual rules, as well as a deve-
lopment of writing as a practice for our personal expression, visual imagination and creativity.
Historical models will be the foundation of our studies.
