by Chen Li, artist and calligrapher born in China.
“[…] But it is not a relaxed serenity that the calligrapher has to achieve; Rather a serenity full of energy. It is the complete union of physical and mental energy.”

FROM SIGN TO WRITING
Chen Li taught calligraphy from 1996 until 2010 at the association "Dal segno alla scrittura" founded by Piero De Macchi in 1994. She has also taught as a freelancer in schools - public and private - primary, secondary and high schools. In 2003 she also taught at the IED (university of graphic design and fashion) in Turin, Italy, invited by Piero De Macchi in his lessons about font design. Chen Li has also taught in workshops she designed for museums and contemporary art contexts where calligraphy was part of the artistic research, looking for new, original paths suitable for children and not connected solely to the repetition of models of the past. Since 2001 she has also taught in primary schools where she has developed a learning path of writing linked to the sign with a method tailored on children and teachers.
In 2016 she was invited by the Children's Academy (Accademia dei Bambini) of the Prada Foundation in Milan, Italy, to create a serie of workshops on sign and writing. Here are the videos of the experience of two years: 2017 and 2018.
