Description

Though Chinese painting has much in common with western painting from an aesthetic point of view, it still possesses its unique character. Chinese painting has absorbed the best of many forms of art, like poetry, calligraphy, and seal engraving. Chinese artists employ writing brushes to work on Chinese paintings and calligraphy. And in contrast to the Western calligraphy, diffusing ink blots and dry brush strokes are viewed as a natural and free impromptu expression. Is it magic? Chinese writing brushes are made of animal hair, but it can produce artistic masterpieces. Do you want to learn Chinese calligraphy? Today we’ll come to learn something about it.

与西方的油画相比，中国画不仅在风格和意境上保留了自己独特的魅力，而且一个突出的特点就是和中国书法密不可分，有画必有书。它们两者之间的联系啊，突出地体现在它们都是用相同的工具——毛笔做成。毛笔是用动物身上的毛做成的。想想毛笔，再想想中国的书画，是不是觉得很神奇呢？喜欢中国，喜欢中国的书画？今天的口语课堂，就让我们一起来领略奇妙的东方文化！
