The Chinese flowering chrysanthemum is a symbol of autumn and longevity—it blooms when most flowers wither under the onslaught of frost and icy winds. Bamboo exemplifies integrity for it bends in the storm but does not break. In addition, its straight exterior and hollow culm, symbolizes humility and fidelity. In this class you learn to paint chrysanthemum and bamboo the Chinese way. You will also explore a number of Chinese characters that make up interesting sayings to go with the bamboo and chrysanthemum paintings. Writing Chinese characters not only gives insight into Chinese culture but can also be a relaxing and meditative practice for people of all ages to engage in.
