PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION - EL CAPITAN HIGH

The Chinese Brush Painting Society was recently asked to participate in Asian Multicultural Day at El Capitan High School in Lakeside. One of our member artists demonstrated how to paint the bamboo stalk and leaves. The students then had the opportunity to create their own bamboo and leaf painting.
