Pen calligraphy and its basic knowledge
Calligraphy is the skill of writing. ? Books? It has the meaning of writing; ? Law? It is the method, skill and law, which is the art of writing Chinese characters. It is a unique advanced art form of our Chinese nation.
Pen calligraphy is a kind of line writing and plastic art that uses pen to express Chinese characters. Its? Line writing? That is, the method of expressing various strokes of Chinese characters with pens. Modeling? Namely the structure and composition of Chinese characters. Therefore. Pen calligraphy is the same as brush calligraphy, which includes three basic and key factors, namely lines (strokes), structure and composition, which are called the three elements of calligraphy.
The so-called line (stroke) refers to the trace left by the first stroke of Chinese characters on paper. The appearance and image of the same stroke written by writers at different levels are very different.
The so-called structure refers to the correct and ingenious organization of strokes, so that all strokes of each Chinese character are arranged reasonably according to the rules, which meets the aesthetic requirements.
The so-called composition refers to the method of text layout, even if a calligraphy work is beautiful as a whole. It emphasizes the coordination, echo, coherence, density and reflection between words and lines, and makes use of the distribution of black and white, the size of fonts, the distance between words and the state of words equal to the singularity of paragraphs, so that all kinds of words can form harmonious, beautiful and interesting works of art under reasonable and ingenious layout. Can arouse people's aesthetic feeling.
Correct, clear, fluent and beautiful calligraphy. It is not only beneficial to work and study, but also the embodiment of cultural accomplishment and a kind of beautiful enjoyment.
writing instrument
The quality of pen writing tools directly affects the writing effect, so we must pay attention to the selection and use of writing tools. The tools for writing are pen, ink and paper.
1, pen There are many types and models of pens, and the difference mainly lies in the material used for the nib. According to the different materials of the nib, it can be divided into three types: gold pen, iridium pen and ordinary pen.
When choosing a pen, it depends on whether the two pieces of the nib are even and symmetrical, whether the top is smooth and whether the writing is smooth. Can I write while trying? Never? And then what? 8? Words many times. If the pen tip does not scrape paper, the water comes out evenly, and the writing is smooth and smooth, then the pen tip meets the use requirements. As for the pen container, the pen cover is secondary.
There are thick and thin tips, so writing exercises are suitable for pens with slightly thick tips.
2. ink. Calligraphy practice should use blue-black ink and carbon ink, especially carbon ink. It is concentrated and shiny, and it is written in black and white on paper, which is very eye-catching. Pens should use the same color and brand of ink, and cannot be mixed. Otherwise, it will cause chemical changes, produce precipitation, and affect writing fluency. If you want to use another ink, you should wash the pen tip and liner to dry first, and then inhale new ink. After the ink is used up, the bottle cap should be tightened in time to prevent dust, splashing and swinging.
3. paper. Generally speaking, 60 to 80 grams of writing paper, glossy paper and copy paper should be non-slippery, slightly astringent and strong in ink absorption. When practicing regular script fonts, it is best to write with squares on paper, which can arrange the size and structure of fonts and enhance the effect of practicing calligraphy.
Writing posture
Writing posture is very important. Correct writing posture can not only ensure writing freely, give full play to writing skills and improve writing level, but also promote the normal development of teenagers' bodies, prevent myopia, spinal curvature and other diseases, which is beneficial to health. This is also the most basic requirement of writing. Although some learners have the basic knowledge of pen writing, their writing posture is not correct enough and must be corrected.
The correct writing posture is: straight body, straight head, open arms and open feet. Sit straight. The shoulders are flat, the back is naturally straight, and the body leans forward slightly. The chest is about one punch away from the edge of the table: the head is straight and slightly forward, and the distance from the eyes to the paper should be about one foot; The arms are naturally opened to the left and right, the forearm is flat on the desktop, the left hand presses the paper, and the right hand holds the pen, so that the pen holder leans slightly to the right, not in front of the nose bridge, and the pen tip falls in front of the nose bridge; Feet naturally lie flat on the ground, shoulder-width apart. As shown in figure 1.
Writing method
The ancients said:? Everyone who studies books must learn to write first? . It can be seen that the writing method is very important for practicing calligraphy. Whether the writing method is correct or not is related to the control ability, flexibility and writing speed of the pen, which directly affects the writing effect. Although some learners have the basic knowledge of pen writing, their writing methods are still incorrect and must be corrected seriously.
The correct way to hold the pen is that the thumb, forefinger and middle finger respectively hold the lower end of the pen holder from three directions with the first section, that is, the thumb and forefinger hold the pen holder from front to left and right, the forefinger stretches forward slightly, and the middle finger presses the lower back of the pen holder with the upper and rear sides of the nails. About an inch from the pen tip, the fingertips are lower than the thumb and forefinger. The ring finger and the little finger naturally bend to the palm of your hand in turn, close to the bottom of the middle finger, which plays a coordinating role in lifting the pen for the middle finger and cannot touch the paper. The upper end of the pen rests on the highest bone in the third section of the index finger, and leans to the right and back, with an angle about 50 degrees earlier than that of the paper. Do you want to do it? Fingers are empty? That is, the lower finger should hold the pen firmly, and the palm should be empty, as empty as an egg. This can make writing flexible and improve the writing effect, as shown in Figure 2.
Learning methods of pen calligraphy
Writing is a learning process. In this learning process, you must have two conditions, namely, perseverance and methods, both of which are indispensable. In other words, we must ensure a certain amount of time and practical learning methods. What is the main way? Copy? And then what? Temporary writing? . Novices can copy before writing, and those who have a certain foundation can write directly. To copy, we must first solve the copying mode, that is, copybook, and then solve the copying method.
First, the choice of copybooks
Copywriting is the silent teacher of learners. Beginners should pay special attention to the selection of copybooks, because the quality of copybooks will have a great influence on beginners' practice and future development. We think it's better to practice writing with pen copybook, especially for beginners. Learning with brush copybook can get twice the result with half the effort.
There are two main principles in choosing a pen copybook: (1) Choose your favorite template. If you like it, you will have enthusiasm to practice, which will bring smooth progress to beginners; (2) Select excellent models recognized by experts. At present, there are indeed some copybooks with the worst quality in society, which is an inevitable phenomenon in commodity society. If a novice chooses at will, he will go astray, not only wasting time and energy, but also catching some bad habits. Therefore, we must be careful when choosing copybooks, and we can ask experts for advice.
Second, the choice of book style.
For beginners, should we practice regular script, running script, official script and cursive script first? In my opinion, primary school students should practice regular script first: junior high school students can practice regular script; High school students or college students, or teenagers with a certain foundation of regular script can practice regular script; If the font is messy, you should lose your own font, practice regular script first, and then practice running script. With the foundation of regular script, other fonts are easy to handle. Never practice cursive script and seal script first.
Third, the method of practice.
After the problems of copybook and calligraphy are solved, the problems we face are copying and writing.
Copying means tracing, that is, tracing on the printed scarlet letter, or tracing on the post with transparent tissue paper. Some people use glossy film and plastic film instead of paper to copy. In this way, ink stains will not pollute the copybook through the paper, and can also be washed and used repeatedly. The process of copying is mainly to make beginners familiar with the structural form and stroke changes of words through more accurate description, so as to further transition to temporary writing. A good way to copy quickly.
Dear, it can be said that everyone who learns to write has to go through this process Some accomplished old calligraphers, despite their great achievements, still soak in the pool every day. There are no people who can't write good words naturally without following the script. Learning is the only way to practice calligraphy and engage in calligraphy creation, and no one can find another way.
