The Success of Shen Peng's Calligraphy Teaching Model
How should contemporary calligraphy develop? This is a question that the calligraphy circle and even the cultural circle have been thinking about. Since the new century, there has been a heated debate in calligraphy circles around such topics as "popular calligraphy style", "returning to tradition" and "judging criteria". The debate shows the seriousness of the problem and the development of contemporary calligraphy really needs deep reflection. In this context, China National Painting Academy opened Shen Peng Studio, and in September 2007, it enrolled a one-year calligraphy elite class. This class focuses on some representative calligraphers and a group of young theorists from different creative schools in the field of calligraphy, studying the difficulties faced by calligraphy creation in the context of contemporary culture, exploring the laws of calligraphy inheritance and artistic creation, and exploring the humanistic spirit and evaluation criteria of calligraphy in the context of contemporary culture.
Following the successful teaching of Shen Peng Studio Calligraphy Elite Class, in September 2009, Shen Peng Studio of China National Academy of Painting opened a two-year calligraphy class. Students mainly come from award-winning authors of various national calligraphy exhibitions, and they are the backbone of contemporary young and middle-aged calligraphy creation teams and the most active young and middle-aged calligraphers in various national calligraphy exhibitions.
It should be said that the calligraphy elite class in Shen Peng Studio has been widely concerned by the calligraphy community from the beginning, and the focus of attention is mainly on Mr. Shen Peng's teaching philosophy, teaching methods and teaching achievements of the elite class. As a leading figure in contemporary calligraphy, Mr. Shen Peng's achievements in calligraphy have attracted worldwide attention. But as a calligrapher with non-academic status, his calligraphy education concept only benefits a few disciples around him. Facing the students who have formed a certain influence, creative style and academic background in the book circle, how to carry out his teaching ideas and what kind of teaching mode Mr. Shen adopts is a problem that the book circle is very concerned about.

After three years' teaching practice, the achievements of Shen Peng Studio Calligraphy Elite Class and Calligraphy Subject Class are undoubtedly surprising. This kind of surprise does not mean that students have obviously improved their artistic creation after one or two years of study, but the academic ideas and teaching models of elite classes and subject classes, which have brought many enlightening significance to the development of contemporary calligraphy. This revelation is mainly manifested in two aspects:
First of all, Mr. Shen Peng established the academic concept of "originality" as the core for the elite class from the very beginning, and based on the teaching practice of the elite class, he formulated the 16-character teaching policy of "paying attention to originality, respecting individuality, practicing calligraphy both inside and outside, and advancing art and Taoism" for the calligraphy class. As we all know, Mr Shen Peng is a well-educated scholar calligrapher. In his long-term artistic practice, he formed his own calligraphy theory with the wisdom and vision of scholars. The core of his theory is to take "originality" as the main criterion of calligraphy creation and criticism, and advocate to create a calligraphy style with the characteristics of the times on the basis of inheriting tradition, and then form an artistic style that conforms to personal spiritual characteristics. Today, Mr Shen Peng's calligraphy theory is very forward-looking. Since the beginning of the new century, all the arguments surrounding the development of contemporary calligraphy are, in the final analysis, the arguments between "tradition" and "modernity" and between styles and schools. However, Mr. Shen Peng's "originality" thought transcends the barriers of genre and style, and brings the art of calligraphy to a more core ontological level. It is precisely because of Mr. Shen Peng's height and broad-mindedness in calligraphy theory that he provided free academic space for students with different creative styles and aesthetic orientations, and provided a successful example for establishing a good academic environment in contemporary calligraphy circles. Today's art has entered a pluralistic era, and tolerance has become an academic knowledge. However, artistic diversity must be based on "academic" tolerance. Without academic height, tolerance will lose its meaning.
Secondly, Shen Peng Studio Calligraphy Elite Class has created a free, democratic, equal and inclusive academic atmosphere, which provides a unique and effective teaching model for contemporary calligraphy higher education. The continuous evolution of art ultimately comes down to the scientific nature of art education, and the standard of "scientific nature" lies in whether it conforms to the special artistic creation law and inheritance requirements. In recent 30 years, contemporary calligraphy has entered a new period of development. The multi-dimensional exploration of calligraphy language and the diversified innovation of artistic style are more amazing than at any time in history. This brand-new situation is largely due to the construction and improvement of calligraphy education in colleges and universities. But at the same time, we also see that the undergraduate education of the college can only solve the basic problems, and many calligraphers who leave the college will face the problem of how to improve after reaching a certain level of creation. How to break through the existing creative habits has become an urgent problem faced by contemporary young and middle-aged calligraphers. As we know, the teaching of calligraphy elite class and project class in Shen Peng Studio focuses on the improvement of humanistic quality and the cultivation of original spirit. Its practice is to invite famous scholars and experts in the field of contemporary humanities in China to hold special lectures, broaden students' cultural horizons, inspire students to stand in the position of contemporary culture, judge the future trend of calligraphy, and rethink and understand the unique core of calligraphy humanistic spirit. At the same time, through holding "thematic calligraphy exhibition" and various forms of academic discussion, students can break the existing thinking mode and creative habits and enter a creative artistic creation state.
It should be said that the teaching practice of Shen Peng Studio calligraphy elite class and project class in the above two aspects has hit the core problems encountered in the creation of contemporary young and middle-aged calligraphers. It takes a long time for the achievements of art education to appear. We can't expect to see the students' creative level leap in just a few years, and the teaching achievements of Shen Peng Studio's calligraphy elite class and project class will appear in the future. Objectively speaking, Shen Peng Studio Calligraphy Elite Class and Project Class provide a brand-new academic path for calligraphers, and let young and middle-aged calligraphers know how to cultivate creative thinking, which may be more practical than individual creative evolution.
