Please ignore the mechanical pencil on the left and the general chaos. I paid 10 Euros + shipping. I was looking for some rapidographs and alphabetical stencils. And it actually wasn't easy finding it all in one offer.

I'm planning a project where I'll be creating art on a petri dish using stencils. I'm considering using alphabets as my stencils but I'm unsure whether to stick to one font or use different fonts for each alphabet. Would this be considered a typography project?
I'm including an image as an example, though it's not alphabetic. However, I'll be substituting alphabets in place of the current subject.

Abstract
This page gives a snapshot of the overview of the overall “plan” of The Party 🎉🥂 and the long-awaited meeting-of-the-minds dialogues that ensue.
Mechanism
The current “mechanism” (2 May A69), as to how all 1,610+ geniuses and minds get into year A1111 (+3066), is that all the invited guests are going to just “appear at once” in the resort, via the mechanism of “waking up” in a bed 🛌, and look strangely around, in a confused 🤔 state, similar to the It’s a Wonderful Life remake film The Family Man, in their multi-room suite, which has about 80% of their books 📚, notes 📝, research, and work material, etc., ordered and arranged, therein accordingly.
Personal assistant
Each newly awoken guest, then hears a knock ✊ at the door 🚪, at which point they each meet their own personal resort ”assistant“, who explains why they are here, how they got here, and answers all the questions they have, states that they will procure any and needs they may require, throughout the course of the event, and gives them a holo-phone (hologram phone), and says that all they have to do is to speak 🗣️, in their native language [N1], into this device and it will answer any further questions they have or summon their assistant if need be:

Projector 📽️
The assistant also explains to each guest how they can use their holo-phone to “project” any image to any wall of the resort, to use when the meet other geniuses, so that the can discuss things visually. Newton, e.g., can speak to his holophone, and tell it to pull up the date and derivation of his universal theory of gravitation when he engages in debate with Hooke. Hooke, likewise, with his holophone, will do the same.
The following video clip, e.g., shows how on 17 Sep A64 (2019), I brought my iPhone📱, a projector, and a portable 100-inch screen to Pakistan, to interview MirzaBeg, recently deceased, but now ranked about IQ:185#75, between Hobbes and Kant:

Meaning that Beg will now be in room R75A and Kant will be in room R75B, until I can update the genius rankings:

Length 40 days?
Originally, the length of the party was envisioned as one month. Somewhere along the way, however, the notion of “40 days and 40 nights“ became a more ideal number, thematic to one aspect of the conference topic being that of Egypto Alphanumerics (EAN) and why letter M, based on the sickle 𓌳 [U1], is value 40, and why each law-giver has to go onto a 40-valued pyramid, mountain, mound to establish the news laws for each society:
https://preview.redd.it/gaaiugj6w3yc1.png?width=1989&format=png&auto=webp&s=d32b1772ed2ad48e19240511ee402e12c48df645
As tabulated here:

	Date	Morality god	Lawgiver	Number	Mountain
Egypt	4500A	Osiris [440]	Maat	𓌳 = 40	Pyramid [631] 👁️⃤
Greek	2900A		Mu [440]; Dike [42]	M = 40	Olympia [631] 🏔️
Hebrew	2300A		Moses	40-days	Sinai 🏔️
Christian	1955A		Mary → Jesus	40-days	Beatitudes 🏔️
Islamic	1400A		Muhammad	Age: 40	Jabal 🏔️

And here:

	Type	Number	Value	Name	God	Symbol	Evidence
Egyptian	𓌳	𓎉	𓍥𓎉	𓐙𓌳𓏏𓂣	𓁧 {Maat} [42 laws]	𓍝	Khufu pyramid 👁️⃤ base length = 440 cubits (𓂣)
Phoenician	𐤌
Greek	M, μ	40	440	Mu (μυ)	Dike (Δικη) [42]	⚖️	Osiris (Οσιριν) [440]
Hebrew	מ	40	90	Mem	Moses (משה) [345]
Hindu	म			Ma	Mitra) (मित्र)

In other words, will people, culturally, as a whole, in the year A1111 (+3032), or 1,042 years from now, still be letter M morons, like the world is presently, aside from the 500 or so members of the Alphanumerics sub. Who knows?
The Party
The following is the video scene, during the glamorous party at the residence of the mysterious Jay Gatsby's (Leonardo DiCaprio), wherein Carraway (Tobey Maguire) finally comes in contact with the infamous man himself, and before knowing who he is says “I actually received an invitation, and it seems that I’m the only one“:
https://preview.redd.it/qmtlzdgbw3yc1.jpg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b88617dcbf2f2a45f67fc2f54c1ddd147230265d
Regarding “invitations” it might be wise to only give out exactly 1,000 party invitations? Meaning that 1,610+ will be invited, but only 1,000 are invited to the “main” event party, whereas those left out are allowed to go to the “after-party” or side-parties.
Following this the “I’m Gatsby“ toast occurs which might be thematic to ”I’m Thims” toast scene that might occur, at the start of the party:
https://preview.redd.it/9cng72hdw3yc1.jpg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d1d33f36bdb4c250f7b69db1775184a253f72d2c
Adams meets Thomson Example one
Take the following scenario:

“I have been studying science for ten years past, with keen interest, noting down my phrases of mind each year; and every new scientific method I try, shortens my view of the future. The last — thermodynamics — fetches me out on sea-level within ten years. I’m sorry Lord Kelvin is dead [48A/1907]. I would travel a few thousand-million miles to discuss with him the thermodynamics of socialistic society. His law is awful in its rigidity and intensity of result.”
— Henry Adams (46A/1909), “Letter to Charles Gaskell”, May 2

Using the 10 Aug A66 full list) ranking, we have Adams (IQ:195#23) and William Thomson (IQ:185#52), aka ”Lord Kelvin”, which means that both Adams and Thomson will wake up on the 9th floor (see: resort design), but in rooms R23 and R52, respectively.
Therefore, when Adams learns that Thompson is on the same floor he is staying at, only 29 doors away, he will realize that he no longer has to walk a “few thousand million miles“ to speak with Thomson about the thermodynamics of a socialistic society, but only so many 100 or so feet.

It might be that at the stroke of midnight on the last of the 40-day party / event, similar to how Cinderella and the carriage revert back into the cleaner and pumpkin, so to do all the event participants revert back to their former state, but with a copy of all events recorded.

Essential Tips for Mastering Calligraphy with Brush Pens

https://preview.redd.it/o04tdblikfvc1.png?width=940&format=png&auto=webp&s=dbb3fd2ec9c132d00deed8ff689f8124cb9238a5

1. Grip and Posture

A proper grip and posture lay the foundation for control and precision when using brush pens. Hold the pen at a comfortable angle between your thumb and index finger, allowing for fluid movement and dexterity. Maintain a relaxed grip to prevent fatigue and ensure smooth, consistent strokes. Additionally, maintain an upright posture to minimize strain on your hand and wrist, enabling you to execute intricate letterforms with ease.

2. Pressure Control

Brush pens are responsive to pressure, yielding thicker lines with increased pressure and finer lines with lighter pressure. Mastery of pressure control is essential for achieving varied line thicknesses and dynamic contrasts in your calligraphy. Practice applying different levels of pressure to the pen tip, experimenting with light, medium, and heavy strokes to imbue your lettering with depth and dimension.

3. Stroke Practice

Proficiency in basic brush strokes is fundamental to mastering calligraphy with brush pens. Dedicate time to practicing vertical, horizontal, and diagonal strokes, focusing on consistency and fluidity in your execution. Experiment with brush angles and pressure to create a diverse range of line widths and textures, refining your technique with each stroke.
https://preview.redd.it/9zg5jptkkfvc1.png?width=940&format=png&auto=webp&s=b9636dae4419def7bf6ed2e4f527df17e0f51d6b

4. Letter Forms

Familiarize yourself with calligraphy letter forms by studying traditional alphabets such as Copperplate, Spencerian, or Gothic scripts. Practice tracing and replicating letter shapes with your brush pen, paying close attention to stroke direction, spacing, and proportion. Aim for uniformity and balance in your lettering, striving for consistency in size, slant, and spacing across your compositions.

5. Consistency and Rhythm

Consistency is paramount in achieving cohesive and harmonious calligraphy. Maintain uniform letter height, width, and slant throughout your writing, ensuring visual continuity and balance across your compositions. Focus on rhythm and flow, allowing each stroke to seamlessly transition into the next for a fluid and graceful aesthetic. Practice patience and perseverance, refining your technique over time to achieve mastery in your calligraphic endeavors.
Once you've mastered the fundamentals, you can explore advanced techniques to elevate your brush calligraphy to new heights of creativity and expression.

Advanced Techniques for Brush Calligraphy

1. Flourishing

Flourishing adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to your calligraphy, elevating it from ordinary to extraordinary. Experiment with a variety of flourishes, including loops, curls, and spirals, to embellish your letters and compositions. Focus on achieving balance and harmony in your flourishes, ensuring they enhance rather than overpower your lettering. Study historical calligraphy manuscripts and modern flourishing guides for inspiration, and practice incorporating flourishes into your compositions with grace and precision.

2. Bounce Lettering

Bounce lettering injects movement and personality into your calligraphy, infusing it with a lively and dynamic rhythm. Play with the baseline and letter heights, allowing them to "bounce" along the writing line organically and spontaneously. Experiment with exaggerated letterforms and irregular spacing to create a whimsical and playful aesthetic. Embrace the freedom of bounce lettering, allowing your creativity to guide you as you explore different styles and variations.

3. Blending and Layering

Blending and layering techniques add depth and dimension to your calligraphy, transforming flat letters into vibrant works of art. Experiment with blending different colors directly on the pen tip or on the paper surface to create smooth gradients and transitions between hues. Layer opaque and translucent inks to achieve subtle color variations and visual interest. Explore the interplay of light and shadow, experimenting with blending techniques to simulate texture and depth in your compositions.

4. Negative Space

Negative space, the empty space surrounding your lettering, can be utilized creatively to enhance the impact and readability of your calligraphy. Experiment with incorporating decorative elements and flourishes within the negative space, framing your lettering and drawing the viewer's eye to key focal points. Use contrasting colors or textures to emphasize the negative space and create visual contrast. Practice restraint and balance in your use of negative space, allowing it to complement and enhance your lettering without overwhelming the composition.

5. Texture and Surface Effects

Explore the textural possibilities of brush calligraphy by experimenting with different paper surfaces and texture mediums. Choose textured papers such as watercolor or handmade paper to add depth and character to your lettering. Experiment with surface treatments such as embossing, foiling, or adding texture paste to create tactile effects and visual interest. Incorporate mixed media elements such as collage, stamping, or stenciling to enhance the overall aesthetic of your compositions. Embrace the tactile nature of brush calligraphy, allowing texture and surface effects to enrich your artistic expression.

6. Illumination

Illumination, the art of decorating manuscripts with intricate designs and embellishments, can add a touch of opulence and grandeur to your calligraphy. Experiment with gold or metallic ink to create shimmering accents and highlights, adding a sense of luxury and prestige to your compositions. Study historical illumination techniques and motifs for inspiration, incorporating traditional elements such as florals, vines, and geometric patterns into your lettering. Practice patience and precision in your illumination work, allowing each detail to shine and sparkle with brilliance.

7. Experimental Tools and Materials

Push the boundaries of traditional brush calligraphy by experimenting with unconventional tools and materials. Explore alternative writing surfaces such as wood, fabric, or glass to create unique and unexpected effects. Try using unconventional tools such as palette knives, toothbrushes, or sponges to apply ink and create texture. Incorporate found objects or natural materials such as leaves, feathers, or flowers into your compositions to add a tactile and organic dimension. Embrace the spirit of experimentation and innovation, allowing your creativity to flourish and evolve as you explore new possibilities in brush calligraphy.

Practice Makes Perfect

As with any artistic pursuit, mastering calligraphy with brush pens requires dedication, patience, and practice. Set aside regular practice sessions to hone your skills and explore new techniques, embracing the journey of continual learning and growth. Embrace mistakes as learning opportunities, celebrating progress and improvement with each stroke of the pen. Remember that mastery is not achieved overnight but through consistent effort and dedication over time.

March 31st is... Eiffel Tower's Anniversary/Eiffel Tower Day (1889)
-- On March 31, 1889, the flag was hoisted to the top of the Eiffel Tower. It was built as the centerpiece for the Exposition Universelle, or World's Fair, held in Paris to mark the centenary of the French Revolution. Originally painted a deep red, it is thought to be more protective against rust. It has since been repainted 19 times, approximately every seven years, and its color has changed from red-brown to yellow ochre to chestnut brown. Today, it is a bronze Eiffel Tower Brown.

The Importance of Classroom Decoration in Preschool

Effective classroom decoration in preschool serves several important purposes:

1. Engagement:

Well-decorated classrooms capture children's attention and maintain their interest in learning activities. Visual elements such as colorful decorations and interactive displays can make learning fun and exciting.

2. Visual Learning:

Visual aids and decorations help convey concepts and reinforce lessons through visual learning. Young children often grasp ideas better when they can see and interact with visual representations.

3. Comfort:

A well-organized and visually appealing classroom creates a comfortable and welcoming environment for both children and educators. Children are more likely to feel at ease and open to learning in a pleasant setting.

4. Inspiration:

Creative decorations inspire children's imagination, encouraging them to explore and learn independently. An environment that sparks curiosity can lead to a deeper love for learning.

5. Learning Zones:

Classroom decoration can define different learning zones, making it easier for children to understand and navigate their learning spaces. This organization helps in maintaining a structured and efficient learning environment.

DIY Classroom Decoration Ideas

Now, let's delve into a variety of DIY classroom decoration ideas that you can implement to create a vibrant and engaging learning space for preschoolers.

1. Themed Bulletin Boards:

Create bulletin boards with changing themes relevant to the curriculum or seasons. Incorporate visuals, artwork, and children's work to showcase their achievements. For example, you can have a "Space Exploration" theme with rocket-shaped cutouts and astronaut drawings.

2. Alphabet Wall:

Dedicate a wall to display the alphabet in both uppercase and lowercase letters. Add corresponding images (e.g., "A" for apple, "B" for bear) to help children associate letters with words and objects.

3. Number Line:

Design a number line that spans the classroom walls, emphasizing number recognition and counting skills. Use bright colors and large numerals for visual impact. Incorporate fun counting objects like animals or shapes.
