Shodo is the art of drawing characters with brush and ink to express spiritual depth through the beauty of brush strokes. It began in China, but in Japan both Kanji (Chinese characters) and Kana (Japanese phonetic characters) are combined to create a uniquely Japanese art. By controlling the thickness and tone of the characters, the calligrapher expresses his or her own spirit and thought. The drawing process encourages calming of the mind and peacefulness. This class for those over 50 meets for two hours. Tools are provided for classroom use only. Because we will be using black ink, it is advised to bring a smock or cloth that can be washed.
