There are many kinds of pens, such as pencils, pens, ballpoint pens, gel pens, ink pens and writing brushes. What pen should a child use to start practicing calligraphy?
Squirrel Music School has done a lot of surveys and practical writing tests for children to solve this problem. Select 10 children from kindergarten classes in batches, and use pencils, ballpoint pens and pens to start the initial education of children's writing for one semester, and observe the influence of different types of pens on children's writing.
First, what pen is good for practicing calligraphy? Start with a pen, right?
The answer is not relative! Because we should know that the pen is only a tool for practicing calligraphy, we can practice hard pen calligraphy with pens, signature pens, ballpoint pens and pencils (wolf hair, wool and double-stranded brush can all be used to practice brush calligraphy). It is true that you write with a pen and practice with a pen, but it is nothing more than using a pen from the beginning. You can't write well yourself. Can you write directly with a pen?
In fact, the key to practicing Chinese characters well lies in the method of practicing Chinese characters. As long as the method is right, you can practice Chinese characters well even without a pen.
Second, can children practice writing with ballpoint pens?
At present, it is rarely mentioned to practice writing with a ballpoint pen in China, but in European and American countries, primary school students must write with a ballpoint pen, which may be the cause of cultural differences. Because of the large quantity and small gap, primary school students are required to write clearly, and only one ballpoint pen is the best choice. It is that our Chinese characters are not so strict with the clarity before the words, but pay more attention to the punctuation of the words and have a sense of frustration. Therefore, many calligraphy practice institutions will choose thick pens for children to practice calligraphy, which is mainly due to misunderstanding of good writing. They think that handwriting should be beautiful. It seems that only a thick pen can draw strokes and strength, but in fact this is very wrong. As long as you write the word bookshelf structure well, whatever you write will look good.
