About this title

Synopsis

Are you interested in taking the first steps to becoming a Chinese calligraphy master? This book employs unique, systematic teaching methods to help you build up from basic to advanced brushstrokes—enabling you to create new words with each brushstroke you learn.

Inside Chinese Calligraphy Made Easy you’ll find two fold-out cover flaps carrying key information to remind you of the anatomy of each character. A series of lessons and projects, organized to build the reader’s knowledge and make the art of calligraphy as enjoyable as it is graceful. The method is innovative, the learning solid: the five major styles of Chinese calligraphy (Kai Shu, Hsing Shu, Chuan Shu, Li Shu, and Tsao) are covered in depth. Now anyone can learn this 4,000-year-old art in just a few weeks!
