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

has taught at every level from kindergarten through college and has

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.net/calligraphy) 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.
