Everyone must have heard the story of Da Vinci painting eggs. For a skill, whether it is calligraphy, painting or other technical arts with technical elements, it is a test of our observation ability.
Human beings perceive the world through our five senses, and calligraphy is an art of visual perception. Its primary writing practice is naturally based on observation, and the artistic sublimation brought by personal characteristics and improvisation eventually becomes art.
? So observation is the basis of calligraphy, which shows its importance. Generally speaking, we should pay attention to the following observations when learning Chinese characters.
1. Observe the same word of several different calligraphers and see its similarities and differences, such as European style and Yan style, writing, long stroke and long stroke, symmetry and equivalence, the space enclosed by the included angle is relatively small, and the intersection point is on the upper side. Look at Liu Ti, too. Then this is the method of calligraphy, and your calligraphy should be practiced according to this; As for thick-skinned, this is a personal style, and you can follow whoever you like. As for the hard pen, there is no such difference.
2. Observe the demonstration movements of the calligraphy teacher, and see the movements and speed changes of the teacher's pen collection. This is not easy to ignore, generally combined with the calligraphy teacher's explanation to achieve perfect results!
3. Observe the difference between your own words and copybooks. Don't be blind, just copy more. Among them, whether the horizontal is a "horizontal or vertical" is the result of not carefully observing.
4. Observe your heart: 1. Do you want to write well? What price am I willing to pay to write well? Anything, if you want to do it well, you have to pay a certain amount of time and effort. 2. Which font do you prefer, regular script, official script or other fonts? If you choose, you must study without hesitation until you learn 6~7 points, and then learn other fonts.
