I took Unlocking the Treasure Box of Chinese Calligraphy with Ran Zhao in Fall 2025 semester but didn't see it as an option.
Overall, this course was really enjoyable! I learned a lot more about Chinese Calligraphy and was also able to get practice with an actual brush. Ran Zhao is a really great instructor and made the material easy to learn. For homework, each week there was 1 reading assignment and 1 practice assignment. Almost every assignment was on a class padlet where for each reading assignment you wrote what you learned and a summary of the reading and each practice was a picture of your practice calligraphy and reflection on the process. Almost every grade was completion and it was fun to learn more about calligraphy.
