Dance of the Brush/Chinese Brush Painting and Calligraphy January 30, 2007

Jean Shen will present the way of Chinese brush painting both as a dance and as a powerful weapon in the hand of a warrior. You will learn to wield the brush like a sword when you paint bamboo trunk and twigs and joints, and switch to being a dancer when you paint bamboo leaves. Subjects such as flowers, animals, fish, birds, landscapes and calligraphic paintings will be used to explore the dance of the brush.
