Museum class "From stylus to ball pen"

We live in an amazing time. Before our eyes tradition to write with ink on paper is dying. Gradually handwriting replaces by typed on the computer and printed text and paper books are superseded by electronic versions. Increasingly difficult to imagine that once in order to write a letter to someone, or simply to do the homework, it was necessary to make in own hand a tablet for writing, to sharpen bone or twig and to scrape by it on wet clay for a long time. Let a method of information recording has been changing but the writing itself is going from us anywhere.

Museum of I.E. Repin continues to tell children interesting stories. This week in museum class "From stylus to ball pen" young visitors learned all about the writing. Children with great enthusiasm wrote with pointy sticks and bones of animals on clay tablets, as well as with ink, goose-quill, saw how the papyrus looked like. And of course, everyone pushed on the buttons of a typewriter.
