symmetrical
"Symmetry" refers to the proper arrangement of each word and stroke according to the font, not "uniformity". Because glyphs are different in length and size, the number and inclination of strokes are also different. For example, every word is written in the same size as a square, and every stroke is written in the same length and uniformity, but it looks unpleasant. Generally speaking, if there are many strokes, you should write more carefully; Write a little fatter if you have fewer strokes; In each word, the arrangement of stippling should be appropriate.
fair
"Fairness" is what we often call "horizontal and vertical", which is a basic principle of stippling structure. However, it should be noted that the "flat" of "horizontal and vertical" is not a general flat, but a flat with oblique potential. Because people's eyes, vision is unbalanced, horizontal painting is really flat, because of the illusion of eyes, it seems to fall to the right. Therefore, the horizontal painting must be slightly oblique, but not too oblique.
Step 4 write a composition
Composition in a broad sense includes style, and in a narrow sense it refers to the layout of the whole work.
5. The layout of calligraphy works:
A calligraphy work mostly includes three aspects: text, inscription and seal.
The text is the main content to be written and the main body of the work. Articles, poems, aphorisms, etc. All are healthy and uplifting, and auspicious and peaceful words can be used as the content of calligraphy works.
The title is the explanatory text outside the text. Including the theme of the text, the time and place of going out and writing, the author's name, font size, fasting number, the title and name of the given object, etc. Not every work has to write these contents. The content of the inscription depends on the specific needs of the work. Part of the inscription is written in front of the text, which is called the front paragraph; Some are written at the back of the text, which is called the next paragraph. The name and address of a given object should be written in front of the text to show respect.
According to the content, the seal stamped in calligraphy works can be divided into name seal and idle seal. From the position of coverage, there are the first chapter and the foot chapter. The first chapter stamped on the work is called the first chapter, and the chapters stamped on the text and the next paragraph are called footprints. Seals mainly play an ornament role in calligraphy works, so it is not advisable to have too many seals in a work, usually one or three.
Characters, inscriptions and seals are three organic parts of a work. When creating, we must make overall arrangements to make the three constitute a perfect and harmonious whole.
6. Talk about the method of "using a pen"
"It is not easy to use a pen through the ages", a famous saying tells the true meaning of calligraphy "using a pen". To understand the true meaning of this sentence, we have to start with the word "Yi". "
Ornamentation:
Where the text is superimposed, the upper and lower paragraphs should be interspersed with each other to avoid improper overlap.
Before you start writing, you should first conceive the arrangement position and reserve space so that all strokes can have the most suitable position.
Pay equal attention to:
The characters that overlap up and down are generally small at the top and big at the bottom, and the lower paragraph is thick and powerful.
The left side of the word should be narrower to make way for the right side.
Changes in brushwork:
If more than two strokes of a word are the same, or the two parts are similar in shape, we must try our best to correct them.
Reduce the pressure:
In short, if there are more than two strokes, only one stroke can be kept, and the other strokes are represented by dots.
Sometimes there is only one stroke, but for the sake of beauty, it will also be written as a dot.
Hook reduction:
When there are more than two hooks for the change of a word, keep one hook and omit the other hooks.
The band between strokes: that is, "the pen breaks the meaning."
Characters are composed of dots and strokes, and these dots and strokes must naturally produce the effect of reflection tape according to their stroke route in order to appear lively.
Left and right nursing:
If a word has symmetrical strokes, we should pay attention to the relationship between them.
