Group workshop : The apprentice copyists - art workshop
Pigments, parchments, gold leaf, calligraphy... all names that evoke the Middle Ages and the work of the copyist monks in the abbeys. Taking as a starting point the observation of a 15th century handwritten songbook, the pupils set off to discover this art and then try their hand at writing their first name for primary school pupils or copying a sentence from a medieval text for secondary school pupils.
Learning calligraphy allows them to find a new relationship with writing through technical gestures and an adapted vocabulary.
