This sentence is also very applicable in the learning process of calligraphy and painting copying. My teacher, Mr. Kong, once told me: "To learn ancient paintings is to learn from the ancients and choose the good ones and follow them." If you come, you must grasp what you want and you will succeed in doing things. " It is important to learn from the ancients, but we should pay attention to the trade-offs. On this basis, we should also be determined and not chop and change, so as to gain something.
Some parents told me that children's calligraphy is practiced a lot at home and written seriously, but there is no obvious progress. This is a very common phenomenon, and there are two direct reasons for this result: one is the practice of blindly pursuing quantity, and the other is the practice without targeted training.
Quantitative change will produce qualitative change, which sounds reasonable, but it has scope of application. Only those who meet the conditions can produce qualitative change. If you learn calligraphy in a reasonable way and practice it frequently, a qualitative leap will take place. On the contrary, there will be no progress and children will be tired of learning.
Targeted training is targeted, and any problems will be solved. If you can't write horizontally, then study how to write horizontally and vertically and then write coherently. If you can't write vertical hook, then study the writing methods of vertical hook, horizontal hook and hook, and then connect them. It's like learning broadcast gymnastics. At first, it was a decomposition action of learning, and then it was connected and naturally learned. The same is true of writing. Once you know how to start, start and close the pen, the strokes will be written naturally, and the writing points of all kinds of strokes will be mastered, so it is not difficult to write a word. There are so many pearls, aren't they necklaces worn with thread? Simple calligraphy is actually a graphic art that uses a pair of discerning eyes to find a reasonable composition method and write with fingers.
Speaking of which, you may understand a little. In fact, there are not many tricks to learn calligraphy. It is important to use the right method, concentrate, solve the problem of learning calligraphy step by step, and constantly improve your ability to concentrate on things in the process of learning.
