Illuminated Letters Prep work








A more 'Contemporary' Style:




On Wednesday, we will begin our look into Illuminated Letters.
For Today's homework, please look at the following link: http://symboldictionary.net/

I want you to go through and find symbols to incorporate in your assignment, keeping close attention to what meaning each animal, flower, or symbol represents.

Remember, for this assignment, you can't doodle random hearts or flowers, you have to do a bit of research first to determine what each means and if it is meaningful to your family.

Next, Please take a look at this link and review what different colors meant in Medieval Art:
