7- 10 years old is most suitable for children to learn calligraphy.
Because at this time, children's literacy and understanding ability have been greatly improved, they can have a preliminary understanding of the structure of Chinese characters and follow the guidance of teachers, so it is much easier to learn calligraphy. Children of this age can begin to understand the differences between seal script, official script, regular script, running script, cursive script and simplified characters, and focus on mastering three practical characters: regular script, official script and running script.
Research arrangement:
Primary school 1~4 grades learn regular script, master the basic structure of regular script font, and focus on getting started. The focus of study is to cultivate interest and lay a good foundation. Grade 5~6 in primary school: On the basis of learning regular script, I have mastered two practical fonts, regular script and running script, through the gradual transition from regular script to running script and structural training. I also learn official script.
Calligraphy is different from ordinary art, it is both artistic and practical; Because it is written in Chinese characters, children can't splash ink and doodle at will because of the structure of Chinese characters. Calligraphy is written in different fonts and styles. Simplified Chinese characters are taught in schools in Singapore now. It is not easy to explain these different fonts to children who are just beginning to learn Chinese.
Therefore, it is very difficult for preschool children aged 5 to 6 to learn calligraphy. The educational goal of this period should focus on preparing for learning calligraphy in the future. As a hobby, calligraphy must be cultivated slowly. With interest, we can study and train systematically.
In daily practice, give priority to encouragement. Don't reprimand and preach too much at will, which will cause the baby to lack self-confidence and no longer like practicing calligraphy.
