Cross-listed: Asian Studies This course introduces the East Asian art of calligraphyshufa in Chinese and shodo in Japanese.

We will study the aesthetic principles that connect the three aesthetic forms. Considerable time will be devoted to discussing the philosophical traditions of Taoism, Zen Buddhism and Confucianism. The emphasis of this course, however, is on learning the techniques of writing with the brush and developing individual styles of each student. One term paper and daily calligraphy projects.
