Artist Jenny Highsmith teaches middle-grade girls the exquisite art of hand lettering, giving them a confidence-building creative outlet and drawing them closer to God. Cursive writing offers many benefits to young minds, such as improved cognitive abilities and fine motor skills. However, in an era dominated by digital communication and keyboard proficiency, it is quickly becoming an obsolete skill for most students.
Artist Jenny Highsmith wants girls to know that even if they don't consider themselves to be naturally gifted, they can learn how to hand letter. She will show them how to get started by selecting the right supplies and setting up their workspaces. Next, Jenny gives step-by-step instructions showing girls basic techniques with space in the book to practice.
After girls have acquired this new skill, they will learn how they can use it to commit God's Word to memory by hand lettering Scripture verses. Amid the instruction, Jenny shares short devotions to help girls grow in their Christian walk.
Hand lettering is also a great hobby for mothers and daughters to do together. Look for Jenny's Hand Lettering God's Word (for adults) wherever books are sold.
