Second Step Bell Project Thomaskirche Leipzig

Digitalisation of the inscriptions

 

The first step after my designs was a digitalisation of all inscriptions (8 inscriptions on the front and back of 4 bells, as well as writing bands at the foot of the bells).

 

1. back side of the smallest bell with the original lettering from the two-dimensional space (red) and above in black the lettering which takes the curvature of the bell into account.

 

2. original draft of the inscriptions written with a wide brush. Exemplarily the smallest of the bells.

 

3. digital overdrawing of the main inscriptions for front and back of the smallest bell.

 

4. how do you get from a two-dimensional draft to transfer the inscription to a three-dimensional bell? This body is cylindrical and has a curvature. I used the dimensions of the bell rib (half the cross-section of a bell) to create a simplified unfolding of the bell body.
