Project Overview:
I learned about the art behind illuminated lettering as well as the history. I also learned how challenging it can be to work with a form as simple as a single letter....it was very fun though! Trying to match the artist's style without completely copying him/her was challenging but easily accomplished, and i just think the project itself was just ALOT of fun!!
