Primary 4/5/6 really enjoyed learning about the art of Chinese calligraphy with Wenting today.

.

We found out that some very famous Western artists like Matisse and Picasso said aspects of their work had been influenced by Chinese calligraphy.  Picasso was also reputed to say that if he had been born in China he would have been a calligrapher rather than a painter.

We used special paper which needed only water on the brush to write – we had to take the pictures quickly though before the writing disappeared!
