Joshua's Preface |
|
My first three Chinese calligraphy demonstrations dated back between 1995 and 1998 while studying at the University of North Texas. After graduating from UT Dallas with Master in Accounting and after I started my public accounting career, I resumed my artistic events from 2005 till today. It is my dearest wish to share the spiritual beauty and joy of Chinese brush writing and painting with people of different cultures. In Dallas, not only we have a large Asian population but also rich cultural diversities where we can meet serveral times each year in festivals and art shows. My events or demonstrations at museums, cultural events, festivals, and etc. will be open to the public. The audience will have chances to receive a piece of sample calligraphy written for their names or short phrases. The artistic qualities I offer is for lifetime collection instead of catering which you may compare by searching "Chinese calligraphy" with Google Images. I have been organizing the pictures and YouTube videos taken from those events and list them here chronologically. By February 2014, I have had over 100 events in Dallas area. I am still organizing the pictures and editing videos taken in the past few years which have been stored in several hard drives. If you would like to schedule an event for Chinese calligraphy or a group Chinese painting class, spending a few minutes to browse the different types of plans available will be a lot of easier for our communication and planning.
Sincerely, Accountant & Chinese CalligraPainter

Please click to schedule an event and/or know the hourly rates.
Pictures and videos will be added as I am sorting and compiling them.
To speed up, I have been focusing on using only semi-cursive style Chinese calligraphy. Kaishu will be too slow for most public events.

"Can you draw my name in Chinese symbols on the rice paper?" 1. The Chinese written language is called "characters." Chinese characters are made up of strokes, section headings, and radicals. There are no symbols in current Chinese writing. 2. Most Chinese will associate "rice paper" with paper used to wrap candies. In the 18th century when the Europeans tried to get the trade secrets of Chinese writing and painting paper made in Shuan (Xuan) City, they were misinformed it was made of rice! Shuan paper is made of many different plant fibers and may contain ingredients from rice straws. But it is not made of rice. 3. Symbols are drawn and characters (words) are written. Chinese don't "paint" Chinese characters. As a matter of fact, many Chinese teachers and parents strongly forbid children to "draw" or "paint" characters instead of "writing."

Then arrange mostly by timeline...
Less important pictures as Group Icons
|
Why "selected" videos and pictures? |
|
below my par firm believer of Chinese Calligraphy is the Image of Heart
|
|
# Reasons
Why pictures and videos are not updated so fast?
I try to keep everything organized and balanced in life and arts. Usually I add a few most important pictures right after the event, and then eventually come back to add more pictures and videos when I have time.
