Steps of preliminary calligraphy practice

Steps of preliminary calligraphy practice

Steps to practice calligraphy The first time to practice calligraphy, the basic skills of calligraphy are very important and cannot be separated from the practice in our daily life. There are also many skill processes in practicing calligraphy, so you can't slack off. Then share the steps of practicing calligraphy for the first time.

Steps 1 1 Preliminary calligraphy and eye exercises.

Practicing eyes means reading posts carefully. Reading posts is not only a means of learning calligraphy, but also a kind of ability training. The more posts you read, the faster your eyesight will improve, and you will know how to write well. What's so good about it? He can't practice calligraphy well because he found beauty and can't express it by hand. Beauty has become an illusion.

2, practice the brain.

Confucius said, "Learning without thinking is useless, and learning without thinking is dangerous". When we are practicing calligraphy, we should observe deeply, carefully analyze the brushwork and techniques of the ancients, and deeply engrave the well-written figure of the model characters in our minds. Whenever we mention this word, we will immediately think of the shape of the word on the copybook, and we must have a copybook in our mind, and we must have a well-thought-out plan.

3. practice your hands.

When practicing calligraphy, you must combine your heart and hands, and you must be consistent with your heart and hands. At the same time, practicing hands also improves vision and brain power, and also exercises the strength and power of the wrist. Practicing touch is to let the brain command the flexibility and expressiveness of the hand. When you feel the pen, it becomes a part of your hand. You can play freely and write the effect you want to express.

The beauty of calligraphy art is inseparable from exquisite stippling, beautiful structure and good composition. The following is mainly from the strokes, structure and composition of calligraphy.

First, strokes.

It is best to practice calligraphy from regular script and basic strokes. Stroke is like a person's five senses, which are correct and exquisite. This man must be beautiful, and so is calligraphy.

Second, the structure.

Beautiful structure is also the core of calligraphy art, and the structure can be divided into three parts: primary and secondary, white and changeable.

1, with clear priorities.

Everything has its primary and secondary points, and calligraphy also pays attention to the primary and secondary points. A word always has one or three prominent key strokes. These strokes generally require stretching and straightness, highlighting the spirit of the whole word, and other strokes should converge slightly.

2. change.

Change is like a forest. You can't find two identical trees, and you can't find two identical leaves on a tree. Calligraphy also needs to change. Such as length, weight, thickness, size, angle and speed change. Change leads to life, change leads to death.

3, cloth white.

Uniform white cloth, uniform distribution of strokes, and uniform space division. It is this meaning that "divide the Zhu cloth into white" and "count the white as black" in seal cutting.

Third, the rules.

Calligraphy pays attention to the beauty of composition and composition, and different layouts can form different artistic styles. If some rules are dense and scattered, such as Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy. Some rules and regulations are thick between the lines, which are reflected in the left and right. Such as Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting. Some rules are full of rhythm, structure and artistic conception. Good calligraphy can give people a beautiful enjoyment.

To practice calligraphy, you should have perseverance and perseverance, and you should practice solid basic skills. Writing depends on persistence. You can't fish for three days and dry the net for two days. Note: practice kung fu for one day, not ten days a day. On the basis of mastering the font structure, you can choose your favorite font and keep practicing. Don't change the font easily. Because once you change the font, you have to practice from the beginning.

Learn to combine practice and write together. Many people write very well when practicing Chinese characters, and they will never practice Chinese characters well if they don't scribble according to the specifications in practical application. You usually use the words you have practiced, so write as well as you practiced. Only by practicing and using one can both middle schools and schools be used, and the combination of learning and using can be practiced well.

Steps for beginners to practice calligraphy 2 explain in detail the steps for beginners to learn calligraphy.

First, choose a position.

This is a necessary step for us to learn calligraphy. Choose a position to study. How to choose a post? First of all, learn calligraphy from regular script. There are two ways to choose posts: one is to choose a template you like to study, and only those you like will study hard. Imagine if you don't like the style of copybook, how can you learn it well!

The second is to ask the teacher to recommend one for himself. Many friends are always indecisive when choosing a position. At this time, let the teacher choose a copybook according to the students' situation.

Second, temporary posts

Next, we will start posting, which is also divided into several aspects: First, we must observe the morphological changes of words before writing. Many friends are writing posts, but they wrote them without seeing the model clearly. After a while, they found that the effect was minimal, so we must know how to observe before writing about them.

We just want to know how big this position is. I think the post can be bigger, about five centimeters is appropriate. For beginners, it is difficult to grasp the control ability of the pen and the details of the knot, so we can make the words bigger, so that we can not only easily control the pen, but also easily grasp the details of many strokes.

How many words are appropriate at the beginning of the post?

I think it's not good to start posting or learning word by word. It's not good to write too much at once, but to break one by one. If you can't write a word well, many friends who study calligraphy will write the whole article, but the effect is very small. Friends who have just started learning calligraphy can understand three to five words every day.

Third, face the back.

Back stickers can be said to be an upgraded version of temporary stickers, which is the process of turning temporary stickers into their own use. Pro-posts are written face to face. Pro-posts literally mean dictation without looking at copybooks, but pro-posts are not creative and cannot be written at will. Pro-posting is to restore the model essay on the copybook as much as possible in order to study better.

Fourth, creation

And creation is to show what you have learned, test your posting ability and learn from it. The purpose of posting is to collect our own use, and the creation is to achieve this goal. By posting, you can know what are the shortcomings of your own calligraphy, and strengthen your study for the bad ones to make calligraphy progress.

These are the steps to learn calligraphy. Besides learning and practicing calligraphy, we should also read and read more posts frequently. Besides your own copybooks, you should read and learn as much as other excellent copybooks. Only in this way can we improve the aesthetic ability of our eyes, and we can learn calligraphy well with eyes, hearts and hands.

Extended reading: five styles of calligraphy

Seal character

Seal script is a general term for big seal script and small seal script. Oracle Bone Inscriptions, 3000 years ago, is the earliest recognizable writing handed down, mainly used for divination. The brushwork is thin and powerful, with many straight lines. There are Fang Bi, round pen and sharp pen, and there are many "hanging needles" for writing. Big seal script refers to inscriptions on bronze inscriptions, bronzes and six-country scripts, which retain the obvious characteristics of ancient hieroglyphics. Xiao Zhuan, also known as "Qin Zhuan", is a commonly used character in Qin State and a simplified font of Da Zhuan, which is characterized by uniform and neat glyphs and is easier to write than Wen Shu.

official script

Lishu, also called Han Li, is a solemn font commonly used in Chinese characters. Its writing effect is slightly wide and flat, the horizontal painting is long and straight, and it is rectangular, paying attention to "silkworm head and goose tail" and "twists and turns". Lishu originated in the Qin Dynasty and was compiled by Cheng Miao. It reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which had a great influence on later calligraphy. Calligraphy is called "Tang Kai of Han Li".

For example, the memorial tablet of Confucius Temple made by Xiang and Han Xu is also called the tablet of Confucius Temple in Hanming House, the tablet of Xu Shifa and the tablet of Han Xu. Han Yongshou two years (156), official script. Length 227.2 cm, width 102.4 cm. Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong Province. There is no amount. Carved on all sides, all official script. There are sixteen lines of stele Yang, with 36 characters. At the end of the text, there are nine titles such as Han Xu. There are inscriptions on the body and sides of the tablet.

regular script

Regular script is also called regular script, real script and official script. Li Shu, founded by Cheng Miao, has gradually evolved and become more simplified and level. Regular script has the meaning of model, which was first mentioned in Zhang Huaiguan's Shu Duan.

People in the Six Dynasties still used it habitually, such as Yang Xin's Cai, and On the Biography of Wei Shou, saying, "Shou is a general, and Jingzhao people are good at regular script." That's the abbreviation of "eight-block method", which didn't replace the name of the official book until the Northern Song Dynasty, and its content was obviously different from the ancient name. There is probably an example of the above.

Semi-cursive/running/calligraphy (China's calligraphy)

Running script is developed and originated on the basis of official script, which produces a font between regular script and cursive script to make up for the slow writing speed of regular script and the fuzziness of cursive script. "Go" means "go", so it is not as scribbled as cursive script, nor as straight as regular script. Whether it is cursive or cursive in essence. Those with more patterns than grass patterns are called "running patterns", and those with more grass patterns are called "running grass".

cursive script

Cursive script is a font of Chinese characters, which is characterized by simple structure and continuous strokes. Formed in the Han Dynasty, it evolved on the basis of official script for the convenience of writing. There are Cao Zhang, modern grass and weeds, and it feels beautiful in madness. "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" says: "There are cursive scripts in Han Xing". The cursive script began in the early Han dynasty, and its characteristics are: keeping the outline of characters, damaging the official rules, rushing away and rushing away quickly. Because of the meaning of grass, it is called cursive script.

Two: How to practice calligraphy

Calligraphy is an art. To practice calligraphy well, we should pay attention to the following points:

(A) establish a correct concept of book learning:

Words can't be built in a day. Practicing words requires hard work, so be prepared and persevere. Don't give up halfway

(2) Choose a suitable writing instrument:

Four Treasures of the Study is a good tool for practicing calligraphy. As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must sharpen his tools first. If you choose it improperly, it will affect the efficiency and progress of the exercise.

(3) Start with block letters and gradually write:

To practice calligraphy, we should choose an appropriate method, starting with simple block letters and gradually entering the pen. We shouldn't be ambitious, but haste makes waste. Have a good foundation of calligraphy practice.

(D) the choice of stone tablets

The choice of inscriptions is the key to practicing calligraphy well. Only when the master leads the door, and the individual has a good master, can he gradually practice calligraphy and become a master of calligraphy.

Three: Copying copybook method

1: Choose the right copybook.

Copying copybooks is the only way to learn calligraphy, and it is also an effective and good method. There are two kinds of copybooks copied, one is a brush copybook and the other is a pen copybook. When learning pen calligraphy, you should copy the pen copybook, and the effect of copying the brush copybook is also very good. Because most brush copybooks have high artistry, in addition to accurate stippling, clear thickness and clear vein, they also have the advantages of beautiful structure and perfect composition, which is beneficial to beginners' learning.

In addition, the brush copybook is rich in varieties and styles, and it is also convenient to choose and use. It's just that the lines of the brush copybook are thicker, but the handwriting of the pen is sharper, so when copying, you should remove its flesh and blood and take its bones and muscles.

2. Copying copybook method

(1) Select a copybook. Choose a copybook with neat stippling and symmetrical structure that you like to copy. If it is a brush copybook, you should choose a copybook with a smaller font, which can save the shrinking time.

(2) Copy first, then copy the combination. When learning Chinese characters, copy first, and then copy the combination. The so-called copying is to put the copybook under a relatively transparent calligraphy paper and use pen-and-ink red according to the words on the copybook. It is required that the handwriting of the pen should not exceed the strokes of the brush, but should be written in the middle of the stippling on the copybook. In this way, over time, it is easy to learn the structure of words in copybooks. The so-called pro is to put the copybook next to the calligraphy paper; Draw a gourd according to the words on the post.

It is required that stippling should be written vividly, with light and heavy rhythm and varying thickness. In this way, over time, it is easy to learn the meaning of the words on the copybook. Because copying is more difficult than copying, you must copy before copying. Because copying and copying are two complementary means of learning Chinese characters, it is necessary to combine copying and copying step by step.

(3) Read and paste carefully. Furthermore, read the post carefully before copying. How to stipple the words on the post, how to arrange the structure and how to arrange the rules, we should carefully ponder and find out the rules, so that it is easy to write with interest and well. Don't be greedy when copying, but be quick. Stick to it for an hour or two every day and copy a few words repeatedly, and there will be tangible gains. For words that are difficult to write, we should learn from the difficulties, copy more and compare more.

(4) Besides copying, memorizing, memorizing and using, you should also know how to memorize, memorize and use. Reciting is to write without reading the post, so that you can write the words on the post without reading the post and strive to be beautiful; The core is to check the words written on the back with the words posted. See if there are any mistakes, and be good at finding your own shortcomings and correcting them; Use is practice, applying what you have learned to real life, and consolidating and improving what you have learned in practice.

(5) learn from others. After copying a copybook, you should learn from others and present some other copybooks.
