Introducing Chinese Calligraphy
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.
Note: Artist will need her own classroom with a sink.

“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!!”
