The Rhythm of Calligraphy
Why:
- I learned 8 years of Chinese calligraphy. I think the beauty of traditional Chinese character and calligraphy is the treasure of our culture.
- Traditional technique of calligraphy is dying out due to modern technology. I want to preserve the traditional technique, besides, I am thing of using technology to combine them. Maybe there will be more possibilities.
