Chinese painting is highly regarded in Chinese culture. This class will foster an appreciation and understanding of the aesthetics of Chinese painting. Participants will learn how to use gradations of black ink and limited colors, using the brush on rice paper. The instructor will demonstrate how to draw the “Four Gentlemen” series, which stands for the four seasons of the year: plum blossom, mountain orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum, and a basic landscape painting: mountain, water, and trees. Students will have the opportunity to practice drawing the subject of their choice. This class will also cover the use of the seal. No prerequisites; no prior background in art required. All levels/Teens are welcome. Materials Included
