Chinese Brush Work: Calligraphy and Painting

This ten-session workshop is for those who take a special interest in exploring the art of Chinese brushwork. In China, painting and calligraphy are always closely related to each other. Together, they are referred to as the Twin Sisters. This workshop contains two parts: the first half (five sessions) is for Chinese Calligraphy and the second half is for Chinese Brush Painting. By learning the strokes of calligraphy, people will have an excellent training for the brush techniques of painting.

This is an art related beginning workshop, which does not require students to have experience with Chinese language.
