| Unit Description | Chinese calligraphy is the traditional form of Chinese handwriting, executed with a writing brush rather than a nib. In traditional China it was regarded as the highest form of artistic expression, and in the modern western world it can provide us with insights into Chinese culture and philosophy. This unit is open both to students learning Chinese, and to those of Chinese heritage, and also to those who have no knowledge of the language but are attracted to Chinese calligraphy. Lectures cover materials, basic brush skills, styles, and the history of Chinese calligraphy. There are weekly practical workshops, and the unit culminates in an exhibition of student work. | ||||||
