This course, Learn Chinese with a Zentangle Workshop, aims at giving the opportunity to learn and practice simple Chinese characters to enhance your learning of the language and also provide a kinaesthetic learning environment. For those who are not learning Chinese Mandarin, this is an exciting course where you discover the art of writing current everyday life Chinese characters with Zentangle (Chán rào huà), a drawing technique focused on developing concentration, personal well-being and creativity.
You will learn to say and write simple keywords and get an overview of interesting cultural facts and stories related to the theme of the workshop.
Chinese pronunciation of the written symbols will be practised throughout the session. You will explore the traditional Chinese culture elements in relevance to the Chinese characters learned. You may also use your new acquired skills to create unique greeting cards and simple artworks that you will be proud of.
