Artistic Accolades Strokes of Genius
Year 4 pupil Ema recently participated in the 51st Japanese Calligraphy Competition where she won a superb silver prize. The competition saw Japanese calligraphers of all levels, from all over the world, showcase their creativity and artistic talent whilst utilising skills developed in the classroom. It is wonderful to see Ema’s calligraphy recognised at a national level and in a competition that puts the unique art of Japanese calligraphy on a pedestal.
