Nottingham Confucius Institute holds 'Chinese Brush Painting Workshop'

On 11th November 2016, NCI held a Chinese Brush Painting workshop in The University of Nottingham’s Siyuan Centre, Jubilee Campus, which was attended by over 15 middle school students from Malcom Arnold Academy in Northampton.

Chinese artist Jiang Hongsheng began the event by giving a lesson on China’s different brush painting schools, brush painting tools and the appreciation of Chinese brush painting. Mr Jiang then taught students how to paint China’s national flower, the peony, and gave them the chance to create their own paintings of the flower. At the end of the workshop there was a question and answer session with Mr Jiang.

The workshop was a resounding success, with all the students saying that they enjoyed it very much and found it an incredibly rewarding experience.
