Through Chinese Brush Painting we will explore a world of colourful flowing costumes, elaborate headdresses, distinctive theatrical make up and ancient stories. NO SINGING - as westerners ears find it somewhat discordant, but we will enjoy all other aspects of Chinese Opera. We will paint flowers on a silk court fan, in the Gongbi style of Chinese brush painting, an operatic scene, a costumed female character, fearsome warrior masks and the famous Monkey King, headdress and delicate hair pins and finally make and paint a Shadow Puppet.
