Calligraphy Night!

Yay!  Chinese Calligraphy has always been an interest of mine, and I'm so glad Yang Laoshi was able to teach us.  Also, thank you for those of you who showed up.  The club generally had a great time and learned quite a bit from the Laoshi.

We were informed with the history of calligraphy, the equipment necessary for pro calligraphers, and the methods of correct strokes.  Calligraphy is supposedly good for your health in exercising patience, practice, focus, memory, discipline, and control of the entire body.  It goes beyond just writing letters and making art, it can be part of our life in its entirety.

Isn't Chinese Calligraphy such a beautiful practice?

Anyways, the up coming event should be Karaoke.  I'll send the invites and Sam will send the e-mails out when we find out.  For a bit of info, Karaoke is actually a word from Japan derived from the word Kara (empty, like in Karate= empty handed) and Oke (from the sounding of the word Orchestra).  So it essentially means "Empty Orchestra" where we sing the melody and lyrics to a certain song.  Hopefully we get to do karaoke, I love to sing (but I warn all of you, I'm a horrible singer)!
