Course Description:
This Junior Chinese Calligraphy course introduces young learners to the basics of Kai Style (楷书), the fundamental script of Chinese calligraphy. Specifically designed for children aged 8 to 12, this 10-week program teaches students how to form beautiful, structured Chinese characters while fostering patience, focus, and creativity. With age-appropriate guidance, students will develop their fine motor skills and understanding of traditional Chinese culture.
The course begins with an introduction to the history of calligraphy, the importance of Kai Style, and the tools used in Chinese calligraphy. Children will learn the proper way to hold and control the brush, ensuring good posture and grip to achieve consistent strokes. Early lessons will focus on practicing basic strokes such as horizontal (横), vertical (竖), and dots (点), helping students become familiar with the flow and control needed in calligraphy.
As the course progresses, students will learn how to combine these basic strokes to form simple characters. Emphasis will be placed on the correct stroke order and the balanced structure of characters, building their confidence step by step. The children will practice a variety of characters commonly used in daily life, ensuring they understand the form and proportion of each character.
Each lesson will include engaging exercises that encourage students to express themselves through their brushwork while improving their ability to concentrate and work carefully. By the later weeks, students will begin working on slightly more complex characters and explore how to maintain harmony and balance within their writing.
The final lessons will culminate in students creating their own calligraphy projects, where they can apply all the skills they have learned to form a beautiful calligraphy piece. This final project will allow them to showcase their progress and create a meaningful work of art to take home.
By the end of the course, students will have gained a solid foundation in Kai Style Chinese calligraphy, mastering key strokes and understanding the structure of characters. This course not only teaches the art of writing but also promotes discipline, concentration, and a love for Chinese culture in a fun and engaging way.
