The Confucius Institute invites you to the calligraphy demonstration by Mr. Hua Wen Xu.

 

Venue: Library foyer, La Trobe University, Melbourne campus

 

 

 

Chinese calligraphy, also known as brush calligraphy or “shūfǎ” (书法), is an ancient art form of China that is equally relevant in the modern era. A meditative practice that engages the body and mind, it requires an exacting blend of discipline and creativity.

A practice long admired beyond China's borders, Picasso once said if he had been born Chinese, he would have been a calligrapher, not a painter.
