This is a 3-Day Series.  Students will meet 3 times to complete Part 1.
Please note: Classes will meet 3 times within the same week for Summer Break & Winter Holiday weeks.
Students will learn the fundamentals of traditional Chinese brush ink painting, its principles, techniques, subject matters and styles. Xieyi (freehand) style will be demonstrated. Themes covered include landscapes, birds-and-flowers, fish, and others. Students are trained to master brushstrokes and taught the skills of capturing the essence of forms.
A subsidiary objective of this class is to expose students to beginners level Mandarin. They will learn new vocabularies and improve on active listening and overall language competence. Classes are highly interactive and students will have the opportunity to socialize and share their ideas in a fun and upbeat environment.
This class is suitable for beginners with no prior skills. Part 1 starts at the foundation level where students build their knowledge and skills to progress to Part 2 and Part 3.
