In Jian Huang's seventh grade course, lesson 3 1 tells the story of cursive script. Cursive script is a kind of calligraphy with high skill and artistic value, which is characterized by simple and smooth strokes, strange shape and decoration. In this lesson, Jian Huang explained the brushwork of cursive script in detail, including the writing method of basic strokes, the connection and transformation of strokes, etc.
First of all, Huang Jian emphasized that the basic principles of cursive brushwork are "conforming to cursive brushwork" and "embodying techniques". Conforming to cursive script means that when writing cursive script, we should follow the norms of cursive script and avoid typos. This requires a deep understanding of the strokes, structure and usage of cursive script. To embody techniques, it is necessary to show the skills and beauty of calligraphy in the process of writing, which requires practice to make perfect, and to form your own brushwork style through continuous practice and summary.
Jian Huang believes that learning cursive script should start with basic strokes. The basic strokes of cursive script mainly include horizontal, vertical, left, dot and dot. When writing these strokes, we should pay attention to the process of starting, lifting and closing the pen, as well as the thickness, length and straightness of the strokes. For example, horizontal painting should be smooth, vertical painting should be vigorous, skimming painting should be light and natural, and painting should be steady and thick.
Secondly, Huang Jian expounded the connection and transformation of cursive script. In cursive script, strokes are often connected and transformed to make handwriting more coherent and natural. Connection refers to two or more connections, such as the connection between horizontal painting and vertical painting, and the connection between left painting and right painting. Transformation refers to the change of stroke direction, such as the transformation from horizontal painting to vertical painting and the transformation from vertical painting to horizontal painting.
Huang Jian also mentioned some special brushwork of cursive script, such as putting pen to paper and changing pen heart. Understroke refers to the sudden thickening or thinning of strokes in the writing process, forming a decorative effect. Changing the pen center means that in the process of writing, the pen tip turns from one side to the other, making the strokes take on different shapes. The application of these special brushstrokes can make cursive script more individual and artistic.
