| My name is Hannah Allen, and I am a student Bayview Community School in Mahone Bay, NS. I am active in several sports (cross country, soccer, basketball, badminton, and track and field), jazz band, drama productions, and student government. I also attend fine art classes and am interested in the linkages between art and technical design sciences. As for my project, I am very intrigued by the artistic and technical aspects of handwriting, so that guided me towards my project subject matter. My project has evolved since it originally started and moving forward I would like to take it a step further by conversing with professional psychological experts, in order to obtain their opinion on my conclusions and potential areas of further study. As for further study, I would like to explore the area of signatures across different cultures, and their origins. Science may come easy to others, but I feel that it is important to choose a subject that makes you excited, or emotional for that matter. Emotion and passion can drive us to discover and reveal the true science behind anything. |

Since handwriting style is unique between individuals, can it be related to an individual’s personality? |
