****************************************************************

Korean/Chinese Calligraphy and brush painting could come off at first as rigid and strict in comparison to other methods of drawing and painting. Not only that, each area among the three requires hours and years of practice to “master” it. The history this ancient art form is vast and there had been numerous masters in the past who put unreachable standards for the posterity.

However, it is good to remember it is not about impressing other people or pleasing a critical self. It is rather for the enjoyment of the moment of practicing, losing oneself in the act of writing or painting, and coming back to life energised and enlightened.

The workshops are meant to be taken individually or in multiples consecutively or not. It is recommended to follow 5 Classes of Initiation to Calligraphy/Brush Painting.

Class 1 Historical Background of Chinese and Korean Calligraphy, Introduction to materials, Getting to the brush exercises

Class 2 Basic Strokes for Chinese characters I

Class 3 Basic Strokes for Chinese characters II

Class 4 Basic Strokes for Chinese characters III

Class 5 Putting the strokes together. Letter “Young”

After having learned 8 basic strokes of Chinese characters, each student can choose to pursue one of three domains:

Chinese Characters (Standard Script)

Korean Characters (A wood-block printing style of Hangul calligraphy)

Brush Painting (Plum Blossoms, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum, Orchid)
