My First Book of Chinese Calligraphy
My First Book of Chinese Calligraphy is a fun and engaging introduction to one of China's most celebrated arts and crafts for kids. Calligraphyâ€”the art of producing decorative handwriting or lettering with a pen or brushâ€”has been around for thousands of years. In this fun calligraphy-for-kids book, readers will follow along with Mimi, an eigh- year-old, who takes her first steps towards learning this magical art. Dive in, and explore:
- The Evolution of Chinese Writingâ€”how Chinese characters first began, thousands of years ago, and how they have evolved
- The Order of the Strokesâ€”learn how to write the strokes in the correct order
- The Radicalsâ€”what are they, and how to unlock their secrets
- The Four Treasures of Calligraphyâ€” the four essential tools to get started
- Movements and Positionâ€”how to master your mind's focus, your breathing and even how to move
- The Five Styles of Calligraphyâ€”Zhuan Shu (seal), Li Shu (clerical), Kai Shu (regular), Cao Shu (cursive), and Xing Shu (running)
- The Eight Strokesâ€” how to draw the eight strokes; with them, you can write anything
- Writing a Character in Calligraphyâ€”create an entire character in calligraphy
The included interactive CD-ROM enables learners to play creative games to see, hear and try Chinese writing; listen to the pronunciation of the Chinese characters; observe calligraphers in action and print the characters to create practice pages.
