A label for each kind of music
After Rap and Pop, the row under the sheet runs in alphabetical order from Bluegrass to Techno, a label for each kind of music on a listening wall or a class timeline. Types of / Music heads the wall.
Names with a mark in them
R&B is drawn with its ampersand, Hip-Hop and K-Pop with their hyphens. Rhythm / and Blues, Rock and / Roll and Heavy / Metal stack on two lines. Rap / Music and Pop / Music label a shelf, and My / Playlist makes a cover.
- Chewy draws Rap about a fifth taller than Fredoka and closes all three rings.
- RAP in capitals prints a little smaller than Rap, and in Fredoka the A closes.
Questions and answers
How do you draw rap in bubble letters?
Pencil a capital R, then a and p. Round each stroke into a fat outline, keep a ring in the bowl of the R, in the a and in the p, and let the stem of the p drop below the line.
How do you draw pop in bubble letters?
A capital P, a round o and a small p: three rings in a row. Draw the o as a fat circle with a small circle inside it, and give both p's the same ring.
What does R&B stand for?
Rhythm and blues, a kind of popular music that began in African American communities in the 1940s.
Is rap short for rhythm and poetry?
No. The word is older than the music: it first meant to strike lightly and has been in English since the 16th century. Rhythm And Poetry was fitted to its letters afterward.
