Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this study was to investigate the Lifecycle of a Dragonfly. The idea was to demonstrate the three stages of the Dragonfly’s life, the egg, the nymph and lastly the dragonfly.
The script Cnut was analysed and studied, and a practice book produced. Versals were also analysed and studied, and a practice book produced. The colour systems were investigated in colour swatches, these were red, blue and yellow, cyan, yellow, magenta and black, and two red, two blues and two yellows. Different types of Vellum were also investigated and discussed. Different types of Gilding glues were also investigated on paper and vellum. These materials were investigated to be used in the pieces of calligraphy.
A Vellum piece was produced and three pieces illustrating the Lifecycle of the Dragonfly were produced.
It was concluded that the two blues, two reds and two yellow colour system was the best one to use for calligraphy as it produced the widest range of colours, also in the use of painting other colours could be supplemented easily in the illustrate the Lifecycle of the Dragonfly. The result of the Gilding experiments was that Gesso and Gums were suited for Vellum and Paper use. Reindeer Vellum was found to be the most suitable for use with Calligraphy.
