What is learned in the hard pen training class
01 Hand-eye-brain coordination
By writing, children not only exercise the coordination and flexibility of their wrists, but also develop their hand-eye coordination. The coordination and cooperation of the brain are exercised. By writing on paper with a pen, the sense of touch, perception and beauty are exercised.
The accuracy requirements for practicing calligraphy at the beginning also fully exercise the development of children's brains.
02 Structural coordination of writing
1. The relationship between strokes
In a word, there will be positions between two or more strokes Relationship (width of distance, height of position, alignment or misalignment, etc.), and contrast relationship (contrast of length and length, contrast of diagonal and straight, etc.), these two points are the relationship between strokes.
For example, when decorating your home, you need to place a set of sofas in the living room. Regardless of the style and pattern of the sofas, you must first determine how many sofas to place, where to use long ones, where to use short ones, and where to place them. Which ones should be placed diagonally, which ones should be aligned into a group, which ones should be taken out individually and put aside...
2. The relationship between stroke groups and stroke groups
In analyzing and comparing For complex characters, strokes can be viewed in groups. For example, the single side of the character "bit" and the character "立" are two groups of strokes. When writing this character, you should focus on the relationship between the two groups, such as the position, height, width, etc.
Relationships such as height, width, and width.
Still taking the example of decoration, in addition to placing sofas, there are also cabinets and other things in the living room. What needs to be laid out at this time is the relationship between the position of the entire set of sofas and the entire set of cabinets, which is related to the previous step. Compared with adjusting the sofas, this can better ensure that the entire living room space is reasonable.
Structure is like decoration and the use of pens. Different calligraphers have their own decoration styles. When practicing, you should focus on the relationship between the above two points.
03 Understand the structure of words
The structure is the relationship between strokes, and the structure is the relationship between words. It is equivalent to giving you an empty house during decoration, so that You divide the walls yourself and layout the living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. Each calligraphy style and each work has its own composition (for example, regular script generally has the same size and equal spacing between characters; cursive script requires a strong contrast in size between characters, and obvious differences between characters. (continuous relationship), composition is an important factor that affects the look and feel of a work.
04 Exercised aesthetic style
It is difficult to express clearly what style is. It can be understood as hidden behind a calligraphy work and conveyed to the viewer through the pen and ink on the paper. A subtle feeling. The high or low style, elegance or vulgarity of a calligraphy work is closely related to the calligrapher. It is related to the calligrapher's character, outlook on life, artistic outlook, depth of understanding of calligraphy, and academic accomplishment.
As for how to practice style, the answer is uncertain. In other words, the tempering of style actually goes deep into the life of the calligrapher - people with knowledge, good moral character, and high character will naturally have different calligraphy styles. It would be too bad (the so-called "training the state of mind", "training the temperament", "removing distracting thoughts", "regulating the breath", "reducing fire"...actually all originate from this stage and are connected with the style).
