| CHIN 118 - Chinese Writing System and Calligraphy |
|
A survey of the Chinese writing system through analysis, interpretation, and practice for all majors. This course explores the diachronic development of some hundreds of Chinese characters, from the oracle bone script, bronze script, seal scripts, to several modern scripts, and aims to stimulate students' imagination and appreciation of the characters. Readings and discussions focus on the basic principles on which characters are formed and the various styles that have evolved over time. Students gain hands-on experience by practicing calligraphy, and strengthen their awareness of Chinese characters as a medium of visual communication and Chinese calligraphy as a visual art. Note: Completion of or concurrent enrollment in CHIN 101 Elementary Chinese I is recommended.
