Useful.
1. Increase interest. Pen control starts with basic lines and trains the ability to draw lines. It is relatively simple for children and adults and can enhance the practitioner's confidence and interest.
I practiced regular script by myself and persisted for a year. I practiced calligraphy every day, but the progress was very small and I was very frustrated. Now my 5-year-old daughter has started to draw. In order to prevent her from losing interest, I bought her a set of toddler pen control training, which contains cartoon connection diagrams, which is relatively simple and interesting. It was much more interesting than the boring strokes she had done before, so she was now interested in practicing calligraphy again.
Adult pen control training starts with practicing lines. Lines include horizontal lines, vertical lines, diagonal lines, curves, loops, polylines, points, etc.
2. Correct the pen holding posture. Pen control training can practice the coordination between the wrist, fingers and pen, and correct the incorrect pen holding posture of hooking the wrist or clenching the fist, which is very useful for practicing calligraphy.
From pen control training, we can get the correct pen holding posture, and be able to better control the focus, strength and strength of the pen.
Only by holding the pen correctly can you ensure the correct use of force in writing and avoid fatigue, so as to achieve smooth and flexible writing and write strokes with quality and strength. Whether you are an adult or a child, you need to have a correct pencil holding posture.
3. Improve concentration. Pen control training requires us to concentrate on describing the copybook. A horizontal line or a curve requires our concentration to write well, so pen control training can improve concentration.
Pen control training, while practicing pen movement, will also improve concentration, visual development, brain development, and hand-eye coordination. In short, there are many benefits. Without a certain amount of pen control and concentration, it is easy to make mistakes when writing and unable to accurately express strokes or brushwork. For example: when it should not be forward, it is forward, when it should be straight, it is curved, when it should be slant, it is flat, and when it should be vertical, it is slant.
What does pen control training include?
1. Basic line exercises, various lines and various directions.
2. Geometric figure exercises, practice the transformation of children's pen movements when controlling pens.
3. Practice connecting dots and drawing lines to cultivate the ability and control of space composition.
4. Simple figure drawing exercises and cute shapes will increase children's interest.
5. Upgrade exercise of connecting dots and drawing lines. This exercise kills three birds with one stone: practicing pen control, practicing concentration, and practicing counting.
6. Maze. Improve the sense of space and logical thinking. The maze book was also the first logic book that we discovered that children couldn’t control pens. But if they can’t write well, don’t keep wiping it for them. Children will lose interest and lose confidence.
Pen control training is very helpful for calligraphy practice, but all calligraphy exercises will not be effective in a short time, so we should be patient. Now that the children are on winter vacation, I will let Dabao and Erbao practice pen control together every day, and try my best to stick with them.
