In this captivating class, you'll delve into the rich tapestry of Chinese artistic heritage, learning the delicate strokes and profound meanings that define the essence of Chinese painting and calligraphy.

The Allure of Chinese Painting:

Chinese painting, known as shu fa in Chinese, is much more than a mere depiction of landscapes or figures. It is a form of artistic expression that embodies the philosophy and aesthetics of Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. From the serene mountainscapes to the vibrant scenes of everyday life, each brushstroke is a dance of emotion and harmony with nature.

In our course, you'll start by mastering the basic tools of the trade: the delicate brush, various grades of ink, and the exquisite rice paper. As you progress, you'll explore different styles, from the bold and expressive xieyi (freehand) painting to the intricate and detailed gongbi (fine brush) technique. Each session will be a step closer to understanding the balance and rhythm that characterize Chinese art.

The Poetry of Calligraphy:

Chinese calligraphy, or shu, is the art of writing Chinese characters with an ink brush. It is not merely a method of communication but a visual and emotional expression. The strokes of calligraphy reflect the writer's character and spirit, and the beauty of calligraphy lies in its fluidity, balance, and harmony.

Our calligraphy course will guide you through the history and evolution of Chinese characters, teaching you the correct grip, posture, and the principles of ink application.
