There is an essential difference between calligraphy and applied fonts, which will be obvious after you study in depth in the future.
The application of calligraphy and font is completely different. The application of fonts only requires you to be neat, appropriate and symmetrical. Calligraphy pursues artistry and elegance, which requires you to have a deep grasp of the ancient law and know how to express your feelings on the basis of the ancient law.
Pursuing the beauty of practical writing may make you praised by teachers and classmates for a while, but it won't last long. Only by pursuing calligraphy can we get real artistic enjoyment and self-realization.
The pursuit of calligraphy and the pursuit of applied characters are unified in the short term, so learning calligraphy is very good for you to publish a blackboard newspaper. But I hope you can establish the concept of artistic aesthetics and always look at calligraphy from an artistic point of view. I believe that calligraphy will bring you happiness all your life.
