buzzby avatar reviewed on + 6062 more book reviews


A quick review of the materials, techniques, styles and uses of Chinese Calligraphy. There are numerous pictures on every page. I showed the pictures to my 1st grade class during their Chinese Calligraphy lesson (they have to start some time, you know), and they were suitably entertained, although I think the subleties of the classical Chinese methods escaped their 6 year old minds(not to mention their considerably older teacher's mind).
