Students learn the history of traditional Chinese ink painting, including different styles, famous painters, common elements, materials, and painting techniques.
Members progress from painting plants and animals to landscapes and characters, creating artworks of various sizes on materials like Xuan paper and fans. The club encourages experimentation and cultural integration while spreading traditional Chinese painting to interested students of all skill levels.
“Ink painting is not about copying nature, but about capturing its spirit.”
