Zhou Yiyi's Calligraphy Class actually had school teachers sitting in as well, but they sat discreetly at the back, careful not to sit too close and pressure her.
Though she had never been a teacher, she had studied under a master of Ancient and Modern, absorbing knowledge like a sponge and, after consulting resources, her lectures were quite professional.
The basic strokes she lectured on were aimed at elementary school students, but she took a different approach, starting by discussing the profoundness of Chinese culture and the origins of various forms of calligraphy before tying it back to the characters used in everyday life. She then conveyed techniques to specific characters and also recommended everyone use calligraphy copybooks, suggesting they practice often. With practice, the contours of the characters would start to emerge, and writing them would become more regulated subconsciously.
