In class today we did practice quizzes online for both chapters three and four of our readings. I realized that I have trouble remebering names of people or particular manuscripts, but I'm fine when it comes to styles of type and illustrations. We then talked about the invention of paper and the progression of Chinese calligraphy from the shell-and-bone style to regular. Paper was a great invention of the time because it was cheaper and easier to use and helped to make writing and reading more widespread. Before the end of class we were told about a project coming up that we will have to present and write a paper about a style of design.
I think that the most useful thing about class today was the quizzes. Because of the type of questions they were asking, I feel that I will try and look at the details of the chapters more carefully, such as dates and names.
We were also told that in past classes they were able to make their own paper. What goes into the process of making our own paper?
