Reply from the Department of Education and Science of the Ministry of Culture on the inclusion of hard-tipped calligraphy
in the scope of majors for the Social Arts Level Examination of the China Academy of Art
China Academy of Art:
Your academy’s "Application for Adding Hard-tipped Calligraphy and Oil Painting Majors" has been received. After research, it is agreed that hard-tipped calligraphy (030202) will be included in the scope of majors for the social arts examination in your college.
I hope your institute will continue to strengthen the construction of the professional examiner team and teaching materials, and carry out social art level examination activities in a standardized and orderly manner.
With the approval of the Ministry of Culture (Wenyoukehan [2004] No. 536), since the China Institute of Art Science and Technology launched the art examination activities in 2004, it has been based on popularizing art education, improving the quality of the people, and promoting national culture. We carry out art examination activities with a responsible attitude towards candidates and society, and have won full recognition and high praise from all walks of life. As an institution directly under the Ministry of Culture, the China Art Science and Technology Institute has always regarded standardization as the basis for the sustainable development of art grading, and carried out art grading work in strict accordance with the relevant provisions of the Ministry of Culture’s Social and Art Level Examination Management Measures, and has successively formulated the " 15 management measures including the "Notice on Carrying out Art Grade Examination Business" and "Notice on the Filing and Management of Examination and Grade Examination Brochures"; hired more than 10 people including the famous artist Mr. Chen Zui to serve as review experts; and has edited and published designated teaching materials for national art grade examinations. ——"Chinese Painting" and other 12 series of books. There are currently more than 100 art examination organizations across the country. The art grading examination of the China Institute of Art Science and Technology is divided into 10 levels: Chinese painting (flowers and birds, landscapes, figures), calligraphy, hard-tipped calligraphy, Western painting (sketch, sketch, watercolor, gouache, oil painting), and comics in four categories and eleven majors. Each major is divided into ten levels and four grades. Level 1-10, the higher the level, the higher the level.
