Introducing Chinese Calligraphy
Description
Chinese Calligraphy is a treasured art form that holds a distinguished place in traditional Chinese culture, blending language, history, and visual expression. In this engaging program, the artist introduces students to the beauty and expressive potential of calligraphy, demonstrating that anyone can use a brush to create characters that reflect their thoughts and feelings.
Students discover that calligraphy is not only a means of communication, but also an aesthetic expression of the inner world, shaped by centuries of tradition and artistic refinement. Each participant creates a unique work of art, designing their own Chinese calligraphy piece and decorating it on a fan or scroll with traditional Chinese patterns.

Testimonials
One of the special education students commented "Wow! I'm doing it, I'm writing in Chinese". The students enjoyed guessing the animals painted in calligraphy. Another teacher commented that Hua Hua "was a delight and her workshop was so enjoyable". Hua Hua was an absolute delight. She was funny, engaging, and joyful. All of the students were able to participate and ask questions. All of the students created beautiful work and were successful in writing words in Chinese calligraphy.
Art Teacher, Collingswood Middle School
This program was not only well done from an artistic perspective but the artist shared so much of the Chinese culture with the students. More than a few students came to a faculty member to say how much he/she enjoyed the program. It was wonderful.
Principal, Cardinal John Foley Regional Catholic School
I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing Hua Hua Zhang to teach at Port Norris School. To put it simply, she was fantastic. The students quickly made a connection with her. She did an amazing job working with the students. I was in awe while watching her teach. The students were caring and respectful. I really wish we had more days with her. The students' art work is hanging in different locations in the building!!
