Chinese Calligraphy Course

This course aims to acquaint students with the techniques of how calligraphy was taught and learned over centuries in China. Studying calligraphy was a physical as much as a mental exercise, which in its initial stages aimed more at the control of breath and posture, and movement of body, shoulder, arm and hand. The written characters were the result of achieving a certain balance.

Topics covered include:

· Introduction of Chinese calligraphy

· Development of Official Script

· Appreciation of fully cursive Official Script
