Chinese Art. This is a comprehensive and in depth study of Chinese Art. We study the art of these wonderful masters and show you how they are made and how to make your own if you like. Chinese history is very long, and therefore their Art History is also very extensive. In this course we break it up into manageable sections so as to make it as enjoyable and understandable as possible. Importantly, I show you how these paintings are made from a practitioners point of view. I teach lecture courses and studios as I wish they would have been taught to me. Much of the graphic material in my lectures is taken or generated first hand directly by me on site. I teach to learn. I teach subjects as I wish they were taught to me. The Mission Statement. Education is a tool for the improvement of successive generations. I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. Confucius
