SUMMARY:Chinese Brush Painting – Scottish Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Key Information:\nCourse: Chinese Brush Painting – Scottish Landscape\nDate & Time: 10 am – 3.30pm / Saturday 17 June 2023\nStudent level:  This course is suitable for both beginners and advanced students. It could be a follow-up course for students who attended Chinese landscape painting classes before. All practice materials will be refreshed from the previous lesson.\nClass size: A minimum of five students is required to ensure the class goes ahead.\nLocation: This class will be delivered in person at the Confucius Institute campus,\n1 Marchhall Crescent Edinburgh EH16 5HP.\nWhy should I take this course?\nLandscape, Shan Shui, translated as ‘mountain and water’, is among the most popular subjects in Chinese brush painting. Geographical limits do not bind Chinese painting techniques; they can also interpret the Scottish landscape. This class offers an opportunity to learn about and appreciate different cultural traditions.\nTaking inspiration from the wonderful view from Abden House, the main building of Confucius Institute, this workshop will mix classroom-based exercises and outdoor sketching and painting, weather permitting.\nLive demonstration will be provided during the class. The tutor will also provide reassurance that the students can get the techniques into their own artwork effectively. Participants are welcome to bring your own photo reference to paint on the day.\nWhat does it cover?\nThis course will mix with demonstrations and critiques.\nNot only is Chinese brush painting a beautiful art form, but it can also be a meditative and relaxing practice that helps to reduce stress and increase focus. Join our class and experience the joy and tranquillity of creating your works of art.\nAbout the teacher:\nThis course will be led by Chi Zhang – an experienced instructor featured in the BBC documentary ‘The art of Chinese brush painting’, shortlisted for ‘Sky TV Landscape Artist of the year 2015’, whose work has been projected across Edinburgh castle during the 2015 Military Tattoo. For more information and to see Chi’s work, please visit http://www.chizhangartist.com ( http://www.chizhangartist.com/ ).\nHow much does it cost?\n£50 (£40/concessions), the concession is offered only to full-time students and UoE staff.\nBooking & Further information:\nTo optimise the learning experience, a maximum capacity has been set per group – so space is very limited!
