Cumming Meeting Room

Mesmerized by the Chinese art of handwriting and lamenting you cannot read or practice it? The cultural gap has been bridged! Dr. Yanfei Zhu of the University of Georgia will give a short lecture that introduces the basics of Chinese calligraphy, followed by a demonstration. Afterwards, try your hand at the contemporary art of English Calligraphy, which connects the Chinese tradition with the alphabet.
