Chinese Calligraphy by Mandarin Linguist Lab
Offered weekly by the Mandarin Linguist Lab, Chinese Calligraphy classes teach this stylized form of writing, through basic strokes and techniques. Not only is this a visual art form, calligraphy helps students practice the correct stroke order when writing Mandarin characters as well as introduces the meaning and cultural significance of those characters.
