content: Edited film made by Martin Moyer (Martin Moyer Productions) for educational use. Fay Chong, a prominent artist and teacher of calligraphic art, traces the history of Chinese writing from its early pictographic form to the present style of writing. Mr. Chong illustrates the use of the brush and ink and shows the technique used by the Chinese in creating the 12 basic brush strokes from which their ideographs are composed.  Film ends with a demonstration of the use of calligraphy in applications of modern art. Collaborators are Dr. Richard E. Fuller, Director, Seattle Art Museum; Fay Chong, Applied Physics Department, University of Washignton, Charles Leong, Chinese Literature and Language, University of Washington and Reed College, Portland, Oregon.
