Pōʻalima (Friday 2/4) | Lā ʻEkolu (Day Three)
Nā lā o ka pule (Days of the week)
Lets work on our lettering together during class!
Papa Kākau Lima | Hand Lettering Class via IG Live from 6:30pm - 7:30pm
Tools needed: Writing tool and something to write on that has lines. If you signed up for class, you need some guideline worksheets (I suggest printing 5 sheets).
Pōʻaono (Saturday 2/5) | Lā ʻEhā (Day Four)
Nā Helu (Numbers) - see our post for the numbers written out.
Handwriting Challenge: Spell/write out numbers one through ten. Extra Challenge - spell/write out your numbers from 1-31 (see what we did here - now you can make a number line for planning or journaling). Aim for consistency - similar letters should look the same no matter where they are utilized in a word. (eg. THREE - Both “Eʻs” should look the same.
Handlettering Challenge: Hereʻs your chance to connect letters. Numbers one through ten have less letters than numbers in the double digits (for the most part). This is an excellent opportunity for you to practice lacing letters together. Remember to lift!
Lā Pule (Sunday 2/6) | Lā ʻElima (Day Five)
Nā mahina (Months - transliteral)
Handwriting Challenge: Be as consistent as you possibly can if you are handwriting to improve your handwriting.
Handlettering Challenge: Hereʻs your chance to connect letters (and its more advanced since the words are longer than yesterdays challenge of writing numbers). Lift after every stroke and try to connect the letters to spell this month (bonus challenge, letter all of the months of the year).
