The Calligraphy major at Nanjing Normal University is an undergraduate program dedicated to the study, practice, and cultural appreciation of Chinese calligraphic art. The curriculum combines rigorous training in traditional brush techniques, character structure, ink and paper use, and visual composition with academic study of art history, calligraphic theory, and aesthetic principles. Students learn to master various calligraphic styles—from ancient scripts to modern forms—while exploring the cultural, philosophical, and historical contexts that have shaped this key aspect of Chinese visual culture. Emphasis is placed on developing both technical skill and personal artistic expression through studio practice, critiques, exhibitions, and research projects. Graduates are prepared for careers as professional calligraphers, art educators, cultural promoters, exhibition designers, and creative practitioners in the fields of visual art and cultural heritage, as well as for further study in calligraphy, fine arts, and traditional Chinese art disciplines.
