Online Chinese Calligraphy Tutorials/
Sessions with Oi Yee Tai
Many have asked me if I give calligraphy lessons. I am happy to announce that I am finally launching my online Chinese Calligraphy Workshop.
I will be conducting one-on-one Chinese Calligraphy Tutorials/ Sessions. I would like to give you all the attention you need, and also cater to your level.
I will be teaching you how to write Chinese characters with brush and ink. Chinese writing dates back to thousands of years ago. Chinese characters evolved from pictographs to more abstract ideograms to the modern-day form. They are divided into 3 main categories : pictographs , ideograms , phonograms . Each character is a word by itself, and is written in a flowing and balanced way. As this writing system has been adopted by the Japanese and Koreans,the Chinese character is written in the same way as the Japanese Kanji and Korean Hanja.
If you are a beginner, you might be interested in several sessions of basic learning and practice. If you already know Chinese calligraphy and only need some advice, assessment or critique, you can also enrol in a single session as the need arises.
If you already are practising Chinese ink painting or sumi-e, but have no knowledge of Chinese calligraphy, don't worry. You have an advantage over others as you are already familiar with using the brush with ink on rice paper. You will find that you have already been using some of the calligraphy strokes in your painting.
I intend to make it more interactive instead of giving mundane strict lessons. I will teach you the basic strokes, and you can immediately start trying, and show me what you are doing. We can then find ways to improve, and also enjoy the process. If interested, I can provide you with a free introductory video for you to decide whether you want to enrol . It gives you a basic idea of what the sessions will involve and also an introduction to the materials for Chinese calligraphy.
The calligraphy sessions will be online private tutorials delivered from my studio in Canada to anywhere in this world. It will be one-on-one 60 minutes per session.
Cost: US$60 per single session (60 minutes one-on-one tutorial)
Package of 5 sessions for US$250 (60 minutes one-on-one tutorial) If you have your own little group or family and would like to take the lessons together, contact me for special rates
