The skills of chalk writing are as follows:
How to hold the pen and use the pen when writing chalk characters. When writing chalk characters, use your thumb, index finger and middle finger to hold the pen close to the tip of the pen. The fingers are held in a virtual position, in a reclining position (at an angle of 45° to 50° with the board surface). Chalk calligraphy is a type of hard-pen calligraphy.
Short, thick, inelastic, and easy to break. In most cases, you need to stand and write. These unique characteristics determine that the writing method of chalk writing is also different from other writing tools. The correct way to hold chalk writing should be: when writing, pinch the chalk between the thumb and the first pad of the middle finger, and press the pen above with the tip of the index finger.
The ring finger and little finger are naturally curled and aligned with the middle finger. The fingers are strong and the palm is weak, the knuckles are protruding, and the tiger's mouth is oval. Only by writing like this can you bend and stretch freely. In addition, the chalk tip should not be exposed too long, as long as it does not affect writing, otherwise the chalk will easily break when writing. In addition, the chalk tip should not be exposed too long, as long as it does not affect writing, otherwise the chalk will easily break when writing.
Before writing, it is best to deal with the chalk first. The chalk we hold usually has the thin end in front and the thick end in the back. Before writing, fold off the thin end about one centimeter, and then rotate the pen body on the blackboard to polish the drawing to make the pen tip slightly pointed. The chalk treated in this way has the harder part at the front removed, so it is not only smooth and easy to write, but also easy to write.
Benefits of writing with chalk:
1. Chalk is cheap. A box of the cheapest watercolor pens costs two or three yuan, and they become scraps after a few uses. Slightly better watercolor pens are equivalent to the price of several or even ten boxes of chalk. A box of chalk has forty or fifty pieces, while a box of watercolor pens only has twelve or twenty-four pieces at most. Therefore, chalk can be said to be of high quality and low price.
2. Using chalk can save paper. The floor and blackboard are high-quality and low-cost writing boards. Children can use chalk to practice repeatedly on them, while a piece of paper can only be used for one practice. In contrast, using chalk allows children to practice more and save paper.
3. It is beneficial to the development of small finger muscles in young children. Allowing young children to practice with chalk more often is beneficial to exercising the small muscles of their fingers.
