Location: Pine Ave., Suite 202Chinese Calligraphy
This Chinese calligraphy class will introduce students to papers, brushes, ink, and techniques for traditional
writing of ornamental or artful Chinese characters. As with Western typefaces and calligraphy, Chinese calligraphy can be of many styles and for many purposes. Rather than using a pen, however, Chinese calligraphy uses pointed brushes. This
requires an understanding of techniques and rules that form the basis for laying down the "bones" or "muscles"
of each stroke, making up each character with control balanced with the expression of each calligrapher's
spirit or aesthetic. The class will focus primarily on control of the brush, ink, and paper so that each student will gain a sense of how formal traditional characters are executed. We may also begin to explore more expressive forms of calligraphy. Each student's $10.00 materials fee will cover a brush, a stick of traditional ink, an ink stone, paper, and a pad.
