What is the combination of copying and copying in calligraphy practice? Copying is the most basic method to learn calligraphy. Not only beginners need to copy, but also need to copy after a certain foundation. Learning regular script requires copying, while learning seal script, official script, running script and cursive script still requires copying. Calligraphers spend their whole lives copying, learning, thinking and creating in copying.
Copying is to cover the copybook with thin paper, and then follow the shadow with a pen and write according to the exposed handwriting, which is also called "imitation" or delay writing. Another method of copying is called "tracing red", which is to fill in the words printed with red lines with double hooks.
The method of copying posts: the first step is to draw red. That is, select clear and complete words from posts and cover them with transparent and ink-tight tissue paper, such as typing paper, glossy paper and tracing paper. , and according to the outline of the word with a very thin line hook into a hollow word, known as the "double hook". Then use the marked words as red books, fill them in red ink, then fill them in blue ink, and finally fill them in ink. This writing can not only deepen memory, but also save paper.
What are the tips for practicing calligraphy? Starting with the basic strokes of regular script, there are eight kinds: point, horizontal, vertical, left-off, press, lift, hook and fold.
A word is like a machine. When the basic strokes are practiced, it is equivalent to processing the "parts"; Practicing radicals well is like starting to "assemble"; Practicing the whole shape is equivalent to entering the "final assembly". In other words, learn "decomposition" first, and then learn "coherence". Therefore, regular script is the foundation, and basic strokes are the foundation of foundation.
Writing posture and writing.
(1) Sit up straight, with your shoulders flat, your back straight, your body and head straight, not low. The eyes are about one foot away from the desktop, and the chest is about three inches away from the edge of the table.
(2) Hold the pen straight, the nib should be straight, and it is forbidden to tilt inward (as long as the palm is flat, the nib will naturally move forward); The tip of the index finger is about an inch from the nib. If the pen is not straight or the nib is tilted inward, it is difficult to write well and it is difficult to write well. Even if you write with a pen, you should move your right hand. At the same time, the lines written have no backbone and rhythm, and the font is not generous.
(3) Inclination of the pen: write big letters up, the inclination of the pen is slightly larger, write small letters down, and the inclination of the pen is slightly smaller. Generally, the slope should be inclined at the index finger joint, and the strokes written here are either rigid and flexible. The inclination of the pen is not suitable, and the speed of using the pen is limited, so you can't write floating and verve glyphs, so you shouldn't tilt at the "tiger's mouth".
Slow down. Many primary school students only pursue speed when they do their homework, and they can play games when they finish it quickly, resulting in scrawled fonts. So parents should check their children's homework in time. As long as the font is found to be untidy, let the children redo it and be sure to have a correct attitude.
Fixed time.
According to children's age and attention characteristics, give children a fixed time every day, such as 7: 00-7: 15 every night. Fixed time is conducive to the development of children's habits, forming conditioned reflex and cultivating students' interest in practicing calligraphy.
