What we'll do
Chinese Calligraphy and Landscape Painting Workshops at the American East Mustard Seed Garden (Zhao Art Studio)
Chinese calligraphy is one of the oldest and most revered art forms in China. This Calligraphy, Sumi-e painting workshop with Quanzhou (Jack) Zhao will introduce and demonstrate the key techniques for learning Chinese Calligraphy, brushwork that has been taught over the centuries in China (and Japan, Vietnam, Korea, etc.), including brushwork techniques and the proper use of equipment and materials (brushes, ink, color, rice paper, etc.). Subjects to be taught and practiced will include basic fundamental Chinese calligraphy strokes and Flowers/Birds brush paintings in freestyle. Studying Chinese calligraphy is a mental exercise that coordinates the mind and the body. Many people consider calligraphy one of the most relaxing yet highly disciplined exercises for physical and spiritual well-being. The abstract beauty of lines and rhythms can be extremely creative.
One workshop session is defined as a weekend morning or afternoon up to 1.5 hours in duration. At the end of the workshop, most participants will have completed one brush painting. Classes are taught in English or bilingual English/Chinese.
Methods
-- Meditation
-- Demonstration and Visual Instruction

Through demonstration and individual attention adapted to students' particular skill level and interests, the instructor (Quanzhou Jack) will take you through your (first) amazing Chinese calligraphy brushwork (Sumi-e) painting step by step.
