Students are combining their illustration skills, calligraphy, gold/silver leaf, and mixed media to create amazing illuminated manuscripts. Some students have started on their chair projects based on their own stories. The chair project becomes the setting, character, or an object from the story. It is a scuplture project where students will use plaster of paris, painting, feathers, colored cellophane, wire, model magic, wood, etc. ro create their own 3-D visual interpretation from their story. Below, is a slide show of illuminated manuscripts.
