like a bit of messiness as it makes it look more fun in a way.

Q: What are your thoughts on winning the competition?

A: When I first realized I won, I actually laughed because I was in 3
the middle of my co-curricular activity. I found it kind of unbelievable.

It’s been a day after that, and I still find it unbelievable but I’m calmer
about it now. I am proud of myself though I do think I could’ve done

better. I’m pretty happy with my piece, but I do think I could have
added more details like drop-shadows or decorations.
Education and Enrichment
Q: Do you have anything you would like to say to people who are

interested in calligraphy?

A; Speaking from my personal experience, my first attempt at

calligraphy was a monstrosity (like I said earlier). But we all start from
somewhere, so just keep practising. If it gets to a point where it
frustrates you, then just take a break, because calligraphy is supposed
to be something that you can enjoy. But if you really want to learn
more about calligraphy, you’re always welcome to join the Western

Calligraphy Club!

All in all, this was an interesting interview with the Senior category
first-place winner of the English Calligraphy Competition. For anyone

interested in calligraphy, we hope you can use this as reference for
your future projects.
