Composition is a sense of form and integrity in calligraphy works, that is to say, if you want to "pile" the written words together, it will involve the problem of composition. Usually when copying, we copy word for word, but to form a good work, we must "design" the composition of the work.
Writing rules in words
A word is a short composition. When writing, we should pay attention to the relationship between words. This relationship is called "gesture", and gestures are distributed in words, that is, the connection between two strokes involves problems outside words, and there are also gestures at the last stroke of the previous word and the beginning of the next word. Therefore, when writing, you must "write first".
There are rules between the lines.
The lines should echo each other, and this echo is mutual. The "movement" in calligraphy is breath and echo. There is also an air of "soul-stirring" between the lines, and such works seem to have vitality. The main design skills are the size of words, the thickness of strokes, the shade of pen and ink, etc. , and must not be too unified.
Black and white design
There is an ancient saying that "white is black", which means that the arrangement of blank space should be treated like a place with words. As the composition of calligraphy works, this "white" is very important. When writing, if there are many words, you should leave a little blank. This is called "ventilation" in art works, which is the main principle of composition design.
Style design
Style is the main form of composition. As a calligraphy work, everyone has his own sense of form, but the style should be highly unified. Style mainly comes from the writer and calligraphy style. There are many styles in cursive works, including regular script. The style of writing works is mainly reflected in the style of calligraphy. To write cursive calligraphy, we cannot have the style of regular script or official script, because they are not a system.
The layout of calligraphy is the embodiment of calligraphy art and skill. If you want to study, you need long-term and profound practice. Calligraphy has a lot of connotations, so you can't be lazy. Forge ahead, not afraid of wind and rain. The layout of the composition is the style of the article. With your own composition, you have your own calligraphy style. At that time, your calligraphy will be an art, not entertainment.
