Chinese calligraphy classes: technicalities and history

From 56.63 C$ /h

My father teaches Chinese calligraphy (书法) as it is his passion. If you are interested in the art of calligraphy, the technicalities behind Chinese calligraphy (stroke order, harmony, correct strokes, etc.) and would love to hear more about the history behind calligraphy and the characters, this class might be something for you.

Previous knowledge is not required but a basic understanding of Chinese characters (traditional or simplified) and a basis in writing would be helpful. However, we could build it up from scratch as well.

Equipment can be provided during the classes (brush, ink and paper).

Extra information

If available, you can bring your own brush and ink.

SHAPE AND VOLUME

Drawing is, for me, the foundation of many creative works. We will gradually build your understanding of texture, shape, and proportion. We will work on various themes, materials, and formats. Afterward, you can choose the approach that resonates with you, and we will focus on that.

For Chinese calligraphy: you don't need to understand the language to be able to appreciate the beauty of Chinese calligraphy. For me, I see Chinese calligraphy as a combination of negative space and different lines.

Those experiences helped me create a teaching style that is warm, open-minded, and full of real-life examples.

In this class, we’ll go beyond textbooks. You’ll learn the phrases you actually need, understand cultural nuances, and practice speaking in a relaxed, supportive environment.
