Introduction to Calligraphy and Leap of Calligraphy Skills

Many people learn calligraphy, thinking that as long as the words are dignified and beautiful, imitating ancient fonts is a beginner. In fact, practice traditional copybooks, and choose Yan Ti, Liu Ti, Zhao Ti, European Ti and Gong Ti copybooks. , just master the characteristics of glyph strokes. Practitioners can copy repeatedly to achieve similar shapes and master the artistic style of calligraphy strokes. This belongs to the fur of calligraphy art. Copying copybooks is to give yourself a general feeling of calligraphy art. As for the introduction of calligraphy, copying is not the only way to realize it. Copying is only the basis for practitioners to lay a good calligraphy book. In order to achieve the similarity of form and spirit, it depends on the artist's artistic treatment of the font stroke structure after repeated practice.

For the segmentation of calligraphy art books, it can be roughly divided into three stages, one is introduction, the other is entering the classroom and the third is entering the room.

Generally speaking, many people can get an introduction to calligraphy, but many people are not very familiar with it. Some people have practiced calligraphy all their lives and are also good at writing regular script and running script. But when creating a pair of calligraphy, it lacks self-confidence and majestic momentum. There is another kind of people, whose personal calligraphy style is very heavy and their calligraphy creation is very verve, but they always seem to lack the foundation of traditional calligraphy art.

Both of them can't reach the highest level of indoor calligraphy art. The former can only be regarded as avoiding being forced to court, which belongs to the gradual replication type. This method is the most laborious and requires ten years of basic skills. The latter can only be regarded as a formal ceremony. Although the characters have certain charm, their personal skills are very strong, and the charm of font changes is also rigid.

Here, I will give you a brief introduction to a good method of calligraphy art crash:

First, choose a favorite copybook to copy. After a period of copying, it depends on the savvy of the practitioners. The fastest three months, the latest half a year, to achieve the initial artistic treatment of calligraphy stroke structure.

Second, focus on finding 3000 commonly used fonts, and then practice cursive writing for each word repeatedly until the spirit and shape are ready.

Thirdly, after mastering the charm of cursive script by practicing cursive script, you can learn the artistic treatment of running script and practice cursive script and running script. Generally speaking, it takes a year to achieve the initial goal of both form and spirit.

Fourthly, after mastering the charm of cursive script and running script, the experimenter creates a whole set of calligraphy art, and carefully understands the artistic treatment of fonts and strokes in the layout of the whole set of calligraphy art, so that he can grasp his mind and have answers when writing. Generally speaking, it takes three months at the earliest and half a year at the latest to master the overall layout and creation of calligraphy art.

Fifth, after the above practice, I will take turns to copy my favorite regular script for a year or two.

Sixth, finally, we should copy all kinds of calligraphy fonts properly and be familiar with the structural changes of all kinds of fonts. There is a well-known saying that when you create calligraphy again, you will find that your taste and creative techniques have made great progress.

Generally speaking, the art of calligraphy can reach its peak, which cannot be achieved overnight. Some people say that one point on the stage is ten years' work under the stage. The same is true of learning calligraphy, which requires endurance and perseverance. I believe the above quick methods will be helpful to calligraphy lovers. If you really learn calligraphy step by step, as some people say, even if you spend ten years working hard, you may not understand the true meaning of calligraphy art, and you may not reach the realm of calligraphy art.
