First, copy
Copying is the only way to learn all arts, and calligraphy is no exception. Through the repeated study of the artistic wealth left by the sages, I can draw nutrients from it and finally complete my own creation. As the saying goes, knowing the book in the face, copying in the solution.
Judging from the examinations over the years, colleges and universities mainly examine students' eye observation ability and hand expression ability, so most of the candidates are exposed to strange inscriptions during the examination. The so-called strange inscription does not mean that the examinee has never seen anything, but refers to the copybook specially read before the exam. It is very necessary and important for students to spend more energy and time on the accurate temporary training of how to use the pen accurately, unify the style, handle the details in place and complete the rules and regulations for their unfamiliar copybooks.
Second, creation
After the solid copying stage, students should enter another key link of the exam to create. In the creative stage, copying gives people inspiration, but also tests the learning situation of copying. Pro-innovation and innovation alternate, without interruption, achieving the same progress and the same exit.
In recent years, with the increasing number of people in the college entrance examination of calligraphy, the routines are becoming more and more mature, the examination forms of calligraphy copying and creation are also various, and the students' abilities are becoming more and more comprehensive. Copying is no longer a single regular script, official script and antithesis, but more running script, seal script copying and different forms of backing begin to appear. Creation is no longer a single style of free book creation, and there are more than one style of writing, such as non-regular script creation stipulated by Nanjing Art Institute, regular script creation stipulated by Shandong Art Institute, running script creation and so on.
