The ways to practice calligraphy well include mastering the correct sitting posture and holding a pen, mastering the essentials of strokes, and thinking diligently.
1. Master the correct sitting posture and pen holding.
As the saying goes, cutting firewood does not waste time sharpening the knife. If you want to practice calligraphy quickly, it is not just a matter of going directly to large-scale exercises. Before formal learning, you must first learn the correct sitting posture and hold a pen. Teacher Huanhuan has observed the pen-holding postures of many children and found that some children hold the pen with their thumb and index finger crossed, and some children like to write in their notebooks crookedly.
Wrong pen holding posture has two similar characteristics: first, the pen is inflexible and the pen is too heavy or too light; second, it makes the hand or arm muscles particularly tense, which may cause It can also cause wrist soreness. I can write independently and form my own independent font. You can refer to the writing methods of the copybooks, or you can write a few more yourself, compare them to see which one looks better, and write according to that one.
2. Master the essentials of strokes.
Strokes are the smallest parts that make up Chinese characters. Without mastering the essentials of writing strokes, it is impossible to write Chinese characters. Use a pencil to write on the words in the copybook every day. Also remember the glyph of each word. Draw at least one page for a large book and two pages for a small book every day. This step is to imprint the shape of each character on the sticker in your mind. The shape of that character will emerge when you close your eyes and think about it. When you have finished tracing a book, use an eraser to erase the pencil marks. The key to practicing calligraphy is to master the rules of basic strokes.
Many people feel that their children have not made significant progress when practicing calligraphy at home. This is because the copybooks chosen are not systematic and there is no explanation of strokes. Little Lion's writing class is taught by Mr. Cao Chunming, a member of the Chinese Hard Pen Calligraphy Association and the Anhui Provincial Calligraphy Association. Starting from the strokes, he teaches from easy to difficult, so that even children with zero basic knowledge can keep up.
3. Be diligent in thinking.
When practicing calligraphy, you must be diligent in thinking and good at summarizing. Practicing calligraphy is not a simple improvement of proficiency. If the child's writing method is not correct and he keeps practicing, it will only become more and more wrong. The proportion of Chinese characters within the grid must be evenly distributed so that the characters can be beautiful. That is, the density should be even and avoid being dense or sparse. It can be presented through overlapping, avoiding, interspersing, and giving way. This requires calligraphers to practice calligraphy with thinking, be good at observation, summarize, and draw inferences.
From writing common words well to writing all words well. Little Lion's writing class uses three-camera dynamic literacy. He will explain the font structure and pronunciation in detail, and lead the children to appreciate the font structure together, subtly improving the children's aesthetic ability and appreciation ability.
