Calligraphy
Calligraphy
There are two examples this week for those who want to practice their calligraphy. The phonetic katakana word below is chūrippu (tulip).
The kanji word below, akashirokiiro, is a composite of four words; aka (red), shiro (white), ki (yellow), and iro (color). It is used in the context of the children's song about tulips blooming in unit 12.1
Sketches
Sketches
There are two relatively simple tulip sketches this week for practice. The first is in black and white only.
Here is a version with color.
