(The other three are painting, calligraphy, and chess.) Dr. Mingmei Yip will discuss the interrelation of two of these arts: qin and calligraphy. Chinese aesthetic theories of the two arts will be discussed, especially the abstract beauty of notes and lines and the imitation of animals and objects in nature. Interplay between the yin\/yang polarity of empty and full will also be explored.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation will include both performance on the qin with vocal accompaniment and demonstrations of calligraphy.<\/p>\n<p>Free admission.
