We were studying the Middle Ages in my seventh grade social studies class. We learned about monks and monasteries and illuminated letters. When I have taught this unit in the past I always have my students draw an illuminated letter by hand. This year my class is paperless, so the students created the letters on their computers using various software. The software a majority of students chose to use is Paintbrush (Mac), a free download. I have posted a few letters below. You can see all of the illuminated letters here.

An interesting use of the technology. If you have a PC you could use Paint.net.
ReplyDeleteYou should try to go all in on this and create illuminated manuscripts. I am going to try this in class today.
Great stuff!!
