Fourth-year students taking a degree in Humanities were given a session on Chinese calligraphy as part of a subject called Oriental Culture taught by Dr Mònica Ginés. After learning basic theoretical notions about this thousand-year-old technique, students were able to paint a few strokes and practice writing different characters.

The Oriental Culture subject offers a comprehensive overview of countries in East Asia covering all aspects (geographical, ethnic, cultural, political and economic) that define their reality. In addition to calligraphy, students also study Chinese and Japanese painting, religion and contemporary art.
