I held a tablet calligraphy workshop for creating New Year’s cards on tablets at Cafe George in Soshigaya Okura on December 3.
Yukari Inada who made signboard of my classroom also joined the lesson.
The tablets were equipped with the Zen Brush 2 app that captures the qualities of power and beauty of the ink brush.
First I asked the students to practice writing 三 ‘san’ meaning ‘three’ which consists of 3 horizontal strokes, 川 ‘kawa’ meaning ‘river’ that consists of 3 vertical strokes, and 永 ‘ei’ meaning ‘long time’ that contains all the fundamental ways of writing.
Quickly, they mastered how to write on tablets using Apple Pencils.
Next I asked them what to write and asked them to choose the templates from 92 available styles.
After they wrote, I corrected their writing in red.
Next, they wrote it again till they completed their works.
Then, they sent their works to their iPhones via airdrop.
I printed them on postcards as gifts.
They were very happy to have completed wonderful works!
皆さんこんばんは。
昨日は祖師ヶ谷大蔵のカフェジョルジュで、タブレット書道の年賀状制作ワークショップを開催いたしました。
1人目は、カフェジョルジュで個展開催中の島袋えみさん。
まずお習字の時間と同じに 三、川、永とタブレットで書く練習をしていただいてから、書きたい字の背景を選んでいただいてから、書いていただきました。そして、朱でお直ししてから、お清書の後、AirDropでスマホに画像をお送りし、プリンターではがき大に印刷したものを差し上げました。
最後は、佐久間甫祐書院の看板を作ってくださったいなだゆかりさんです。
さらに、サプライズで、東優夏さんがライブ配信をしてくださいました。
