Calligraphy: A Cultural Treasure of China

Wednesday, Aug. 3, 2016 – Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2016

09:30 AM – 12:00 PM
US/Central

EXPRESSIVE-ARTS-240X240

Wednesdays, Aug 3-24, 9:30 am-12:30 pm

Get an introduction to the Chinese art of calligraphy. Fluency and control are essential for creating beautiful characters. The brush is effectively maneuvered using four different movements – which, when combined together, can be used to make a variety of shapes.

In this session, you will learn three structural forms essential to calligraphy – strokes, characters and lines, which join together to create the beauty of the work.
