"Chinese" Calligraphy

Sorry for the previous post being so long...
I forgot to mention. We experimented with chinese brush painting and making our own name seals in "chinese" using dull pencils and small styrofoam squares. It was pretty fun. Here's what mine looked like. :)


Some of my leaf strokes didn't turn out like I had hoped. But I like it just the same.
Even my grasshopper. Can you find him?
With the use of line and value, I was able to portray a peaceful chinese art painting of bamboo. I wanted to express simplicity and aesthetic appeal with my format and content.


Do you see my name? I think one of the S's is backwards, but that's okay. It was kind of a challenge creating a name square with 7 letters, but I managed.

The assignment as a whole was not only fun but also not as time consuming as some of the other ones that we've done. Which is always a plus.
