Tips for children's calligraphy 1. What do children learn about calligraphy?
Many parents have the consciousness of cultivating their children's hobbies since childhood, and calligraphy is one of them.
Children's calligraphy has also caused a lot of controversy in recent years. Copy: Examine the modeling ability.
"Two important aspects of China's traditional calligraphy are structure and brushwork. For beginners, the brushwork is relatively implicit and difficult to cut in, while the structure is macroscopic and understandable to them. " Yang Tao said that what we often say "like it or not" is only for the structure.
Brush strokes and structure are closely related to the spirit of China traditional culture. Illiteracy: the relationship between the content of calligraphy and calligraphy.
Aesthetics includes three aspects: on the one hand, the content from linearity itself belongs to "impossible"; Secondly, it comes from structure, pen, etc. Statutory law stage, that is, "owning the law"; In the last stage, the content of "having the law" is integrated, and the self is presented in the pen, reaching the realm of "having the law but not doing it". Since 13, the Ministry of Education has promulgated the relevant outline, but there are still many problems due to the short time.
Textbook problem: there is no complete and systematic textbook. Although there is no introduction to subject self-study comparable to calligraphy textbooks, there are so many that people can't choose, and repetition and disconnection become the primary problem.
Insufficient attention is paid to calligraphy education: some schools offer calligraphy courses abnormally, and some often change to other courses although this course is on the curriculum; Because the school attaches importance to the enrollment rate, and the higher-level enrollment department has not listed calligraphy as a reference condition for further study, external factors such as funds are useless. Lack of individuality, sameness is copying: at present, most calligraphy works copy too much and personal creation is too little.
Although copying is an indispensable part of calligraphy practice, teachers will let students copy fonts according to their own preferences, instead of copying the fonts of ancient calligraphers, which will lead to irregular words written by students. Mr. Tian, a postgraduate tutor of calligraphy in Oriental Art Department of Nankai University, has decades of experience in calligraphy teaching. "The meaning, goal and task of children learning calligraphy are actually six words, namely, accuracy, speed and beauty."
In recent years, calligraphy learning has been paid more and more attention by the state and society. In fact, besides calligraphy, art and music are also highly valued.
Art will be added to the senior high school entrance examination this year, which will be included in the final total score. In other words, it is an accurate general direction for parents to consciously cultivate their children from an early age, especially for art, many students find themselves lacking too much when they are on the edge.
Parents may also wish to choose interest classes according to their children's hobbies since childhood. And now internet education is very developed, especially art, and there are a series of courses customized according to children's own characteristics, such as online art 1 to 1, online small class, and AI class of Bear Art, which are all good choices.
As for children's calligraphy, it is also a good way to take time out in the busy study life and let children calm down and relax.
2. Small knowledge of calligraphy
Regular script is transformed from "eight points" of official script. In addition to the "eight-point" swallowtail and twists and turns, it definitely focuses on "straight and square." Grasping a pen and writing should be meticulous, not a little frugal and sloppy. This font is called regular script. Regular script is also called "regular script" and "regular script". In terms of strokes, regular script is not as colorful as official script, but it is graceful, vigorous, concise and correct, even more peaceful and vivid than official script. Through the efforts of great calligraphers of past dynasties, many different styles of regular script have been passed down to future generations.
Running script is between block letters and cursive script, which is written casually, without block letters, not as formal as cursive script, and not as dissolute as cursive script. As the word "walk" explains, it is neither a slow walk with square steps nor a rush with flying steps, but a free start and a free walk. Therefore, the ancients called this font "running script" the most appropriate.
The genre of cursive script is almost connected with the whole word. Although there is occasional disconnection between words, the upper and lower strokes run through, echoing, caring and connected by blood from beginning to end, and there is a kind of momentum of dancing with pen and ink in one go. I have been studying calligraphy for more than 50 years since I was six years old, but I am more interested in cursive script, which I think is the highest realm of calligraphy. In the process of writing, the standing position of each word seems to be full of danger, but it is wonderful to be firmly tied in danger, so that the font is not suspected of being skewed and soft, but has exquisite flying resources, paying attention to reading and pasting, copying, symmetry, displacement, size, width, skew and fairness. . . What do you mean by "reading" a post is to read more and deal with the words in the post, which can help you remember the characteristics of the post, deepen your impression and avoid repetition.
What is plagiarism?
"Lintie" is a common mistake in the process of practicing calligraphy, that is, although facing the calligraphy, it only copies the calligraphy, regardless of the shelf and stippling, and is arbitrary. This kind of mistake is the most undesirable and must be avoided.
What is the back?
"Back to face" is to put away the post and write it from memory. There are generally two ways to "recite": one is to recite all the posts, that is, to write them silently from beginning to end after they are ripe; The other is to recite as many familiar words as possible. Both of these methods can be used, or they can be used in combination, with partial dictation first and then complete dictation. Compare it with the original post after dictation. If you find that some stippling or shelves are different from posts, you should correct and rewrite them.
What is confrontation?
"Against it" simply means writing against the post. It can also be divided into two steps, first "grid", and then remove the grid before writing. The method of "copying" is: take mica, thin glass or washed waste film, draw Jiugongge or Mi Zige according to the size of the post, and then copy it in the exercise book printed with Jiugongge or Mi Zige. When copying, you can see which post is in which part, and write it in that part according to it. After doing this a few times, remove the grid and write directly on the post. When writing, it is best to stand up the post with a special post rack, put it in front of the table and write to it. If there is no shelf, pile up a few books instead, or use something else instead.
What is symmetry?
"Symmetry" refers to the proper arrangement of each word and stroke according to the font, not "uniformity". Because glyphs are different in length and size, the number and inclination of strokes are also different. For example, every word is written in the same size as a square, and every stroke is written in the same length and uniformity, but it looks unpleasant. Generally speaking, if there are many strokes, you should write more carefully; Write a little fatter if you have fewer strokes; In each word, the arrangement of stippling should be appropriate.
What is alienation?
"Side shift" means that the stippling of each part of a word gives way and echoes each other, so that words with more strokes do not appear dense, and words with fewer strokes do not appear sparse, such as the words next to "horse" and "bird", and the left side should be written straight to make way for the half word on the right; Other words with left and right radicals are also analogized.
What is size?
Write big fonts and small fonts; Write bigger strokes and smaller strokes, which is called the right size. For example, the words "Japan" and "country" are very different in size, so they cannot be written in the same size; The words "one" and "two" have few strokes, and they can't be written as big as the words "one" and "four" with many strokes.
What is width?
"Width" refers to proper arrangement according to the size of the font itself. Words with more strokes should be written more carefully, and words with fewer strokes should be written more coarsely; The words in the left and right structures are fatter, and the words in the upper and lower structures are thinner and narrower.
What is skew correction?
"Oblique orthography" means making different arrangements according to orthography, such as orthography of "Peng" and orthography of "Dang". When writing, don't twist the oblique force into orthography, and the orthography will be oblique if it is reversed.
What is fairness?
"Fairness" is what we often call "horizontal and vertical", which is a basic principle of stippling structure. However, it should be noted that the "flat" of "horizontal and vertical" is not a general flat, but a flat with oblique potential. Because people's eyes, vision is unbalanced, horizontal painting is really flat, because of the illusion of eyes, it seems to fall to the right. Therefore, the horizontal painting must be slightly oblique, but not too oblique. Generally speaking, the horizontal painting slope should be about 5-7. Beyond this angle, it is too oblique; Not as good as this angle, even peace is not good-looking. The so-called vertical means that every straight painting, whether in the middle, left and right, up and down, must be straight, and no inclination is allowed (except for the left straight of the door and the straight paintings of Yi and Yi). # Editor's Note # Well, I don't quite understand. You can check more completeness with Du Niang. (If you think it's too much, just look at the first few sentences when you read it. * Pay more attention *)
3. How to teach children calligraphy?
First, grasp the key.
1. From the purpose, let children learn calligraphy in order to let children develop calligraphy or meet the needs of work and life; 2. In fact, see if the child has the talent to learn calligraphy; 3. Let children learn calligraphy only from the concept of "don't let children lose at the starting line".
Second, practical.
1, the child is intelligent and eager to learn. Find a high-level teacher (each county and city has several members of national, provincial and prefecture-level calligraphy associations), start with the brush strokes, lay a good foundation, carefully cultivate and step by step.
2, just want to meet the needs of work and life, then sign up for a hard pen calligraphy class, and then under the guidance of the teacher, buy some hard pen Copybook for calligraphy, and lay a foundation in hard pen writing methods, hard pen basic methods and so on. And make sure that you get a high score in future exams, so that you can be superior in your future life and work.
3, aimless, thoughtless, just let the children learn more knowledge, and then sign up for a hard pen calligraphy class, so that they can urge them to improve slightly.
Learning calligraphy is very painful, understanding is the key, guidance is the key, words are like people, and pens are like their hearts.
4. Small knowledge of calligraphy
1. The pen is broken.
symmetrical
"Symmetry" refers to the proper arrangement of each word and stroke according to the font, not "uniformity". Because glyphs are different in length and size, the number and inclination of strokes are also different. For example, every word is written in the same size as a square, and every stroke is written in the same length and uniformity, but it looks unpleasant. Generally speaking, if there are many strokes, you should write more carefully; Write a little fatter if you have fewer strokes; In each word, the arrangement of stippling should be appropriate.
fair
"Fairness" is what we often call "horizontal and vertical", which is a basic principle of stippling structure. However, it should be noted that the "flat" of "horizontal and vertical" is not a general flat, but a flat with oblique potential. Because people's eyes, vision is unbalanced, horizontal painting is really flat, because of the illusion of eyes, it seems to fall to the right. Therefore, the horizontal painting must be slightly oblique, but not too oblique.
Step 4 write a composition
Composition in a broad sense includes style, and in a narrow sense it refers to the layout of the whole work.
5. The layout of calligraphy works:
A calligraphy work mostly includes three aspects: text, inscription and seal.
The text is the main content to be written and the main body of the work. Articles, poems, aphorisms, etc. All are healthy and uplifting, and auspicious and peaceful words can be used as the content of calligraphy works.
The title is the explanatory text outside the text. Including the theme of the text, the time and place of going out and writing, the author's name, font size, fasting number, the title and name of the given object, etc. Not every work has to write these contents. The content of the inscription depends on the specific needs of the work. Part of the inscription is written in front of the text, which is called the front paragraph; Some are written at the back of the text, which is called the next paragraph. The name and address of a given object should be written in front of the text to show respect.
The seal stamped in calligraphy works can be divided into name seal and idle seal according to its content. From the position of coverage, there are the first chapter and the foot chapter. The first chapter stamped on the work is called the first chapter, and the chapters stamped on the text and the next paragraph are called footprints. Seals mainly play an ornament role in calligraphy works, so it is not advisable to have too many seals in a work, usually one or three.
Characters, inscriptions and seals are three organic parts of a work. When creating, we must make overall arrangements to make the three constitute a perfect and harmonious whole.
6. Talk about the method of "using a pen"
"It is not easy to use a pen through the ages", a famous saying tells the true meaning of calligraphy "using a pen". To understand the true meaning of this sentence, we have to start with the word "Yi". "
Intersperse:
Where the text is superimposed, the upper and lower paragraphs should be interspersed with each other to avoid improper overlap.
Before you start writing, you should first conceive the arrangement position and reserve space so that all strokes can have the most suitable position.
Pay equal attention to:
The characters that overlap up and down are generally small at the top and big at the bottom, and the lower paragraph is thick and powerful.
The left side of the word should be narrower to make way for the right side.
Changes in brushwork:
A word, if more than two strokes are the same, or the two parts are similar in shape, we must try to change it.
Reduce the pressure:
In short, if there are more than two strokes, only one stroke can be kept, and the other strokes are represented by dots.
Sometimes there is only one stroke, but for the sake of beauty, it will also be written as a dot.
Hook reduction:
When there are more than two hooks for the change of a word, keep one hook and omit the other hooks.
The band between strokes: that is, "the pen breaks the meaning."
Characters are composed of dots and strokes, and these dots and strokes must naturally produce the effect of reflection tape according to their stroke route in order to appear lively.
Left and right nursing:
If a word has symmetrical strokes, we should pay attention to the relationship between them.
5. At what age is it appropriate for children to start practicing calligraphy?
I am a calligraphy teacher. According to years of teaching experience, 6-8 years old is the best age for children to practice calligraphy. But we must find a good teacher. Otherwise, there will be many clerical errors, which will be difficult to correct in the future.
In addition, there are at least four advantages for children to learn calligraphy: First, China's calligraphy has a history of more than 3,000 years, which is the crystallization of the wisdom and cleverness of the ancients, the great wealth left by our ancestors, and the unique art in China. The Ministry of Education has listed it as a compulsory course for primary and secondary school students.
As an important part of quality education for teenagers, it can cultivate children's artistic accomplishment, cultivate noble sentiments, improve their cultural accomplishment and lay a good foundation for their all-round development in the future. Second, in the process of learning calligraphy, children mainly practice, especially training the movements of fingers, wrists and arms to achieve coordination and flexibility.
These movements are directed by the brain, and regular training is very beneficial to promote the growth and development of the brain. Children are at the peak of their growth and development, and their brain development is basically close to that of adults at the age of 12.
Before this, it is very necessary to learn calligraphy in the golden age of brain development, so as to promote the growth and development of children's brains, develop children's intelligence and cultivate talents with high IQ. This is often overlooked by many parents. Third, calligraphy has strict writing rules. Children, especially in primary schools, are mainly literate. Learning calligraphy while learning culture can not only consolidate what you have learned, but also promote the improvement of writing level, making writing more neat and beautiful, in line with norms.
Fourth, learning calligraphy requires patience and perseverance. For children who receive cultural knowledge education, through calligraphy learning, they can gradually develop meticulous, patient and serious good study habits, and at the same time help to exercise their will, thus promoting the study of cultural classes.
Tianjin is an ancient cultural capital, and there should be many good teachers. You can ask other parents! I hope my answer is useful to you! Satisfied answer.
6. What are the basic rules of children's calligraphy?
Children's Calligraphy: Learn eight basic strokes and understand the basic rules of brushwork.
By copying the model, the law of word formation and composition of the model is analyzed. Understand the methods and functions of memorization, summarize and correct writing mistakes in practice; The study and creation of basic calligraphy forms, such as couplets, banners, fans, album pages, hand scrolls, horizontal batches, etc. Hard pen calligraphy: master the correct writing posture, cultivate good writing habits and basic stippling writing methods, and enhance the structural modeling ability of words through copying, with stable structure and generous extension.
Creativity of painting: By observing objects, images and natural environment, we systematically learn composition and coloring skills to improve the organizational ability and color feeling of the picture. Stimulate children's imagination and creativity and form a preliminary concept of beauty.
Enlightenment of painting: through oil pastel painting, learn to know all kinds of colors, practice hand control ability, and cultivate children's patience and carefulness. Draw simple images with hook lines, cultivate children's ability to control modeling, and learn to use a variety of painting materials to express the picture.
7. What should children pay attention to when learning calligraphy?
Notes on learning calligraphy: 1. It is not advisable to practice alone for too long every day. It is best to do it once every morning and evening. If you feel unwell or overtired within half an hour at a time, you should rest in time. Don't force yourself to write.
2. Write more big characters and less small ones. The wrist movements of people who write big characters are much bigger than those of small characters, which can play more exercise roles. Moreover, writing small characters requires high calligraphy skills, which is not easy to write well, while writing large characters is relatively easy.
3. The forms of learning calligraphy should be diversified, such as attending lectures, demonstrating, discussing with like-minded friends and learning from each other, so as to fully enjoy the fun of group learning and make people cheerful and gregarious. It is easy for a person to lose interest after a long time.
4. Keep a peaceful mind. When practicing calligraphy, we should focus on health preservation, supplemented by learning skills. We should not rush into it, and we should not set specific goals that must be achieved in a short time.
We should proceed from reality and be good at getting spiritual satisfaction from the learning process.
