Story

Chinese calligraphy and traditional painting are two of the most precious treasures of Chinese culture, rich in history and artistic value. This course aims to provide students with an in-depth opportunity to learn and experience Chinese calligraphy and traditional painting, helping them master the basic techniques of calligraphy and painting, and understand the cultural background and artistic essence of these two art forms. The course covers the fundamentals of Chinese calligraphy, the traditional techniques and painting philosophies of Chinese painting, as well as the cultural significance and artistic expression involved in creative works. Through a progressive teaching approach, students will not only learn traditional techniques but also experience the joy and fulfillment of artistic creation.

In the calligraphy section, students will begin with basic brushstroke exercises, learning how to hold the brush correctly, and familiarize themselves with the use of brushes, ink, and rice paper. Through continuous practice, they will gradually master the writing techniques of different scripts, including seal script, clerical script, regular script, running script, and cursive script. The course will guide students through the process of copying classic calligraphy works, such as “Preface to the Orchid Pavilion” and “The Yueyang Tower Inscription,” helping them understand the structure of characters, stroke arrangement, and the artistic expression of calligraphy. Students will also learn about famous calligraphy masters from different historical periods, such as Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing, and Zhao Mengfu, and explore the relationship between calligraphy, ancient Chinese philosophy, and literature. This will provide an understanding of how calligraphy conveys emotions and thoughts.

In the Chinese painting section, students will learn how to use traditional tools, such as brushes, ink, and rice paper, to create artworks. They will master the painting techniques for classic subjects such as landscape painting, flower and bird painting, and figure painting. The course will delve into the composition and expressive techniques of Chinese painting, exploring how to use the flow of ink, layering, and changes in perspective to convey a sense of space and depth. In particular, students will learn the two styles in landscape painting: “xieyi” (freehand brushwork) and “gongbi” (meticulous brushwork), and understand the importance of “artistic conception” in landscape painting. In flower and bird painting, students will learn to depict various flowers, birds, and other elements of nature, capturing their spirit and beauty. Figure painting will focus on how to use delicate brushstrokes and ink to express the character and demeanor of individuals.

Moreover, the course places a special emphasis on the use of traditional artistic materials, introducing students to the selection and maintenance of tools such as brushes, ink blocks, and rice paper, helping them master the basic process of artistic creation. At the end of the course, students will have the opportunity to showcase their works in a small exhibition, sharing their creative insights and exchanging ideas with fellow students.

Through this course, students will not only enhance their artistic skills but also gain a deep understanding of the culture and philosophy behind Chinese calligraphy and painting, appreciating the unique charm and profound meaning of traditional Chinese art.

Risk Warning

Please note, participating in crowdfunding projects involves certain risks…

Investing in projects on a global creative crowdfunding platform, whether supporting creative projects or participating in crowdfunding activities, involves certain risks. To make more informed investment decisions, we recommend that you carefully read the following risk warnings before participating in any crowdfunding project:

1.Project Risks Crowdfunding projects are typically in the early stages and carry a high level of uncertainty. Projects may experience delays, failure to meet targets, or even complete failure due to factors such as technical challenges, insufficient market demand, or weak team execution. Please make sure to thoroughly understand each project's background and objectives before making a rational investment decision.

2.Funding Security Risk During the project support phase, the funds you donate or invest are not directly used to purchase products or services, but rather to support the project in achieving its goals. Therefore, the use of project funds and the fulfillment of commitments are not related to the platform, and we cannot take responsibility for the project's financial operations or fund security. We recommend that you thoroughly understand the credibility and history of the project before participating.

3. Product Delivery Risk The core of crowdfunding projects is usually the commitment to deliver products or services. Due to various factors such as production, logistics, and technology, the delivery timeline of promised products may change or be delayed. When supporting a project, please maintain realistic expectations and understand that the project may be affected by uncontrollable factors.

4. Market and Industry Risk Some creative projects may face challenges from external factors such as insufficient market demand, intense competition, and changes in industry policies. These factors may lead to the project failing to be completed smoothly or unable to achieve profitability. Therefore, market uncertainty and industry changes are risks that cannot be overlooked.

5. Legal and Compliance Risk Crowdfunding projects may involve legal regulations from different countries and regions. Project initiators may face legal disputes if they fail to comply with relevant laws. We recommend that you check the legal compliance of the project in its location before supporting it to avoid risks from non-compliant projects.

6. Investment Return Uncertainty Crowdfunding support is not the same as investing in the stock market or venture capital, and the projects you support are not set up with the goal of providing financial returns. Please be fully aware that participating in crowdfunding activities may not yield the expected returns and may even involve the risk of investment loss.

7. Limitation of Liability This platform serves as a crowdfunding service platform, providing technical support and platform services. However, we do not take responsibility for the project's operational status, progress, or product quality. We encourage investors to make independent and rational decisions and take responsibility for their investments.

Friendly Reminder

Rational Investment: Crowdfunding is a high-risk investment method, and funds should be invested based on thorough understanding and consideration. Do not invest more than you can afford to lose.

Cautious Evaluation: Before participating in any crowdfunding activity, it is recommended that you thoroughly understand the project's background information, goals, and team capabilities, and actively communicate with the project team to ensure a full understanding of the risks.

Regulatory Authorities: This platform collaborates with multiple regulatory bodies globally to provide a transparent and fair crowdfunding environment. However, we still recommend that you pay attention to the compliance of both the platform and the project team to ensure the legality of your investment.
