If you're in the Bay Area and looking to learn a meditative art form with ancient roots, look no further than this calligraphy class. Over the course of one hour, Jojo Liu, a California-based art instructor, will teach you all about this beautiful and ancient writing style and give you a chance to practice. This Bay Area workshop will travel to meet you wherever you like. Your instructor will teach you the fundamentals of writing Chinese characters with a soft brush pen. You will also learn how to create calligraphic strokes and develop artwork with calligraphy. You'll get practice holding a brush, writing basic strokes, and doing proper writing techniques.In this workshop, you'll notice how calligraphy improves hand-eye coordination, promotes self-cultivation, helps observation, and enhances artistic expression. The way of calligraphy also provides a chance to relax the mind, enhance your awareness, and focus on calmness. If you've ever wanted to learn how to write calligraphy, this class will give you a great introduction. You'll leave with some completed artwork and materials to keep on practicing.
My art practice is based in the rich and beautiful tradition of Chinese calligraphy. Chinese calligraphy is one of the most traditional art forms in the world and is truly representative of Eastern art and culture. My grandfather inspired and taught me to practice Chinese calligraphy from a young age, and I continue to have more love for it every day.By introducing my experience and passion, I present a modern twist to traditional Chinese calligraphy. My work strikes a delicate balance between traditional calligraphy art with a personal flair.I hope to continue to spread my passion for Chinese calligraphy as an art form in today’s world. I’m a current board member for the San Francisco Chinese Arts Association (舊金山中華藝術學會) as well as a member of the American Artist Association (美國藝術家協會). My work was published in the 2018 San Francisco Chinese Arts Association Member Catalogue and in the 2019 Chinese American Artists in Los Angeles Member Catalogue.
