Jim Bennett has been teaching calligraphy for about 30 years. He

introduced thousands of people to calligraphy. Although he lost
count some time ago, he suspects that he must hold a record for the
number of students he has taught in the classroom, by
correspondence, and through the Internet. Jim has a B.F.A. degree
from Virginia Commonwealth University and an M.F.A. degree from the
University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Among the awards he has
earned are the Virginia Artists Certificate of Distinction and the
Ohio Art Education Association''s Distinguished Educator Award in
2003. In 1982, Jim self-published a popular instruction manual
titled "You Can Do Calligraphy." He also developed a complete
Italic handwriting curriculum for grades K through 5 for Wakefield
School in Virginia, created a calligraphy correspondence course for
Lord Fairfax Community College, and pioneered calligraphy lessons
on the Internet. His calligraphy website
www.studioarts.netcalligraphy has had almost one million
visitors. He is the founder and manager of the original Calligraphy
Webring which is comprised of about a hundred of the finest
calligraphy websites internationally. In addition to calligraphy,
Jim worked for several years as a portrait artist under the name
Bennecelli. He has also painted murals. Recently, he has been
developing art-related projects based on adventure themes that math
teachers can use to enhance math instruction.
