Chinese Calligraphy
This course is for anyone who is interested in eastern art and wants to explore Chinese INK, brushes and formation of Chinese characters. With the combination of meaning and artistic appearance, students can produce a range of short poems with Chinese or English on traditional rice paper. Suitable for beginners or students with some experience.
Student will learn the basic formation of Chinese characters and the skill to use traditional brushes. We will also explore numerous styles - or scripts - moving toward producing independent work with meaning and aesthetic appearance, which can be used with a combination of drawing, painting or graphic designs.
