Construction of Letters A-Z lower and Upper Case (Practical exercises)
The student will do the construction with the assistance of their Art teacher.
The materials and tools like paper, pencil, eraser, ruler, compass, and drawing board will be required for this exercise.
To construct the letters, students will need to first construct gridlines on which the letterings will be drawn.
Gridlines are vertical and horizontal lines running across each other at right angle, thus creating small boxes of the same size e.g. 0.5 × 0.5 cm
To construct the upper case of block letter 5 vertical boxes and 3 horizontal boxes is required.
A box space should be between each letter constructed (fig. 3 and 4) .
To construct lower letter, the presence of ascenders and descenders in some lower case will make the number of vertical boxes to 7, while the horizontal boxes remains 3.
However, some of the letters without ascenders and descenders can still be drawn within 5 boxes × 3boxes.
Some letter still require more or less boxes on the horizontal line of the grid such as I, M, and W.
