“What a Letter Can Tell”, master class from Larissa Drygval

No one is born with an ability to write. First, when at school we steadily write letters on paper. After a while this process becomes automatic. We think of WHAT to write almost never realizing HOW we do it. One’s handwriting is related to one’s psychological and physical state. The letterforms, their height and slope can say a lot about one’s character.

In the framework of the Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy a professional graphologist, DSc (psychology), the only Moscow specialists of the Inessa Goldberg School of Graphic Analysis, Larissa Drygval gave her master class.

A famous graphologist explained children how one’s handwriting can reveal one’s character. If a line is “crawling” upwards, letters are round and medium high, such person is kind and optimistic. Quite on the contrary, a person with tiny lefthand penmanship is nervous and irritable. 

 

Master class of Larissa Drygval

An important rule of prudence is an ability not to lose temper. Good self-control is an evidence of a noble heart; it is difficult to lead a great soul astray. Be able to control yourself so that nobody could accuse you of abandonment either in happiness or misfortune, but admired your generosity (Baltasar Grasian). Larissa Grygval focused on the influence of calligraphy on personal patience and balance.
