Calligraphy Workshop

Last week, students took part in a Calligraphy Workshop. This was an in-class workshop, in which students learned a little about the Chinese characters, as well as how to form a dot, a stroke, a horizontal stroke, and a vertical stroke. The class worked with ink and brushes to create characters on special calligraphy grid paper. Students were astounded by how challenging it is to form the beautiful characters; it is truly an art form!

Here are a few pictures of children working very intently on this artistic writing!
