Banners—those ribbon and scroll flourishes that frame text and embellish lettering—follow predictable structural logic once you understand the fundamentals. This beginner-friendly course breaks them into five core categories: rectangular, arched, inverted, wavy, and layered. You'll sketch through each methodically, then learn how to layer multiple styles for greater complexity and visual impact.
The payoff is both immediate and long-term: you'll complete finished examples during the course, and grasp the underlying principles that let you design your own banner variations for any art project.
Make a statement on an art piece, an envelope, a chalkboard, a letter, you name it, by learning to draw 20 different banners across 5 main style points. Not only will you learn step-by-step, but you will open a door to be able to branch off with your own banner ideas after learning these main fundamental elements to drawing banners.
This class features ribbon and scroll banners in five different base categories:
Rectangular
Arched
Inverted Arch
Wavy/Slanted
Layering (Double and Triple)
We finish with a segment on some banners that are more intricate and characteristic that are sure to grab attention!
