Introduction

i) Hello, My name is Dusty and I am taking a calligraphy class at UMF. This is my first attempt at making calligraphy, as well as the first assignment for the class. 

ii) When completing this assignment, I was unsure of where to begin with the unguided practice. As a computer science && mathematics major, I typically have a plan for what I am going to do. This unguided practice was a present surprise. 

iii) My impression of this class so far is that it is quite dull. I have never been somebody who was big on English or Social Studies, however i'm sure that if I was, i'd find this class exciting.

Here is my transition from guided practice to free draw.

I had decided to write the alphabet to help with my handling, as it is one of the things children do when they are learning to write.

I was in immense pain when I practiced on this page; so I drew my current mood as well as the words from a good memory.

I had tried to astray from my alphabet, and try and write in a different style.
