All the other are just correcting your grammar without paying attention to the intent of your English.
星期一我 上成人晚課去了在业余大学学了习中国文的书法。书法 technically is not calligraphy because it is unique only to the Chinese as an art form embodying the spirit and philosophy of the culture. Western calligraphy is just beautiful handwriting for decoration. So you don't have to say 中文书法. Chinese calligraphy if you are not going to be nitpicking at the definition, then you say 中国书法. BTW, I'm learning from youtube. Here's a link for a series which I am learning from... It is in Chinese. The first part deals with a topic and philosophy and the second part on writing a character in the standard form, followed by the running script and then the grass hand. You can just skip the first half and follow the 2nd half as it is quite self explanatory.

我帶到回了家同两枝/支毛笔。I am infering from your first sentence. A paint brush (for art) is 画笔 (Chinese painting) 油毛 for western oil painting, brush for scrubbing 刷子, brush for painting (other than for art) is 漆刷

The translation for "I returned home with two brushes." should be"带着两支毛笔，我回到了家。"Both Jeff's and Feiwang's are a bit awkward.
