I have studied calligraphy for three years, and now I am a good calligrapher (at least I think so with children my age). Do you want to know how I practice? There is a lot of bitterness and joy in it.
I remember when I was 6 years old, one day my mother took me to the Rihai Painting and Calligraphy School to enjoy the children's works. There are calligraphy works in various fonts, as well as many different forms of ink painting and gouache painting. I envy you, and I really want to learn this skill. So my mother took me to sign up.
At that time, the teacher asked me to try to write, and I couldn't even hold the brush stably. I grabbed it like a crayon and got ink all over my hands. It's ridiculous to think about it now. Miss Huang slowly corrected my pen holding posture, and then asked me to try to write a horizontal line with a brush. As a result, I wrote a line full of "goose bumps". However, Teacher Huang said that I was very receptive, and she accepted me under my mother's repeated entreaties.
So I came to the classroom, and many younger children were practicing seriously. I also sat down and tried to "trace" the double hook exercise paper given by Mr. Huang. You know, at that time, I couldn't even draw colors well, and my "horizontal" and "vertical" were certainly invisible. Teacher Huang encouraged me to say, "Ding Tao has made rapid progress. Look how great you are with a pen! " When I was praised, I worked harder.
But at that time, I was naughty. In my mother's words, I said, "I can't sit still for a second." I didn't write for five minutes, and then I started to do little tricks. Teacher Huang came up to me quietly and said, "Ding Tao, do you want to write as well as this little friend?" Practice quickly! "Seeing that everyone is immersed in practice, I am also embarrassed to pick up the pen again. After another five minutes, I looked out at the children at the next table; Then he deliberately scribbled on his clothes, tables and chairs with a brush; Then I knocked over the plate with ink ... which made the teacher fidgety. Miss Huang had to stand beside me again and again, drawing my attention back to my calligraphy practice again and again. Teacher Huang criticized me this time and praised me next time, which not only made me understand that I didn't do well, but also made me not lose confidence. In this way, under the constant reminder and guidance of Mr. Huang, I gradually mastered some tips of calligraphy and spent more and more time practicing in class.
