Chinese Calligraphy

Come join us for an introduction to Chinese Calligraphy! This Thursday, February 24, an instructor from the Long Island Children's Museum will be running a workshop from 2-3 PM and 3:15 - 4:15 PM for children Grades 1-5 ($3 fee). Explore the development of writing in Eastern culture and discover the art of beautiful Chinese writing. Learn the six basic strokes used to form Chinese characters and use a graph to place the letters. Create your own scroll using elegant brushes, Sumi ink, rice paper and authentic seals. There's still room in both sessions, so if you are looking for something fun to do this Presidents' Week, stop by the Children's Room to register.
