Researching and Preparing a Scroll Instructor Change: Adrianna the Fierce Using the online armorial, the Pic Dic and other tools of the scribal and heraldic trade, we will research and prepare to execute an actual scroll assignment from the An Tir scribal back-log as an example. This class will concentrate on the "paper-work" that goes along with a scroll assignment, such as the proper spelling of the recipients name, the date on which the award was given, the name of the King and Queen which gave the award, the proper text of the scroll, including the 5 basic textual elements to any scroll text. It will also talk about the various methods for determining such things as an appropriate Locale and Date for the scrolls model (i.e. what kind of "Persona" the scroll should aim for), and how to pick the best colors. We will also discuss incorporating personal elements from the recipient. Lastly, we will talk about sneakiness, secrecy, and the art of disinformation when it comes to keeping the recipient of a "surprise" scroll in the dark. |

Egg Tempera Painting Aelana Cordovera Egg tempera is an ancient paint method, using egg yolk as the medium for sticking pigment to the paper.Ê Once dry it is waterproof, (think egg on a plate) and transparent, so subtle shading is possible.Ê I use powdered historical pigments, though gouache and watercolour may be used quite successfully. We will explore the "float" system used on panels, and the "dry brush" system used on manuscript and shading layers of panels.Ê A supplies list will be in the handout, but everything neccessary will be at the class.Ê Just bring a favourite brush if you have one, size 0 - 2.
