Hey,
My name is Becky. I've been teaching for 13 years, I would like to share with you more about Chinese calligraphy and painting!
Chinese calligraphy and painting are a combination of Chinese brush writing skills and artistic conception, which covers Chinese history, philosophy, life, and beauty appreciation. With natural writing materials, Yin and Yang traditional philosophy, it's a way to show up the writer's inner culture.
Learning Chinese calligraphy and painting helps us to learn more about our culture and ourselves. Hope my courses can help you to explore more into this old art and the mindset it is based on.
