Calligraphy has long been paired with paintings, ornamental scroll work, and other pictorial objects to enhance a piece's visual impact. In this class, we will explore the relationship between ovals and curvatures, and learn how to use them strategically to create Chinese dragons and phoenixes with cartouches and scroll work.

In this workshop students will learn:
• Specific movement exercises for body  awareness to achieve curvatures in confidence
• Principles of creating harmony with curvatures
• Troubleshooting in common difficulties and errors
• Techniques on a lighter hand
• Tools and materials for pictorial flourishing, with instruction on effective use
