Start planning my 2024 How to teach myself calligraphy?Since ancient times, there have been many successful people, and the rules can be followed, including the following points:
1. Learn from the ancients and explore the source of wisdom.
The art of calligraphy has been an important part of Chinese culture since ancient times. In order to achieve higher achievements in the field of calligraphy, it is particularly important to learn calligraphy theory from the ancients and establish a theoretical basis.
The ancients wrote a wealth of wisdom and experience. Through long-term practice and exploration, they have summed up a series of exquisite theories about the art of calligraphy. These theories not only guide the creation of calligraphy by later generations, but also provide us with valuable inspiration.
In the process of learning calligraphy from the ancients, we must not only master the basic calligraphy skills, but also understand the cultural connotations contained in it. Only in this way can we truly grasp the essence of calligraphy and create works with a unique style.
Second, first structure, then calligraphy.
The essence of calligraphy is writing, and beginners should "seek fairness first", master the basic penmanship, calligraphy, and knotting methods of Chinese characters, as well as the elegance and smoothness of the writing content.
Third, the post should be from the beginning to the end.
Every calligrapher is also a professional post everyone, the ancients of the law is the standard of calligraphy, its penmanship, knots are a model, long-term effective combination of the most close to the ancients a shortcut. What needs to be pointed out is to know the "post" wisely, otherwise there will be a bar.
Fourth, it is advisable to start from the book.
Seal, Li, Zhen (Kai), line, grass and other bodies, where to start with the appropriate?Different calligraphers are different. It is common to start with the seal, li, and true (Kai), and get started quickly.
There are three reasons: First, we should pay attention to rules and laws in order to avoid going astray;
The second is to be static and then moving, in order to improve efficiency;
The third is to start with convenience, so as to achieve early results.
Fifth, learning books is expensive in penmanship
Mr. Shen Yinmo mentioned in "On Books": "Brushwork is the method of writing and painting with a brush. ”
With penmanship, first rush back, then rush down, Eagle Wangpeng passed away, the letter is natural, and it must not be changed. If you swim in the water, the mountains and clouds are prosperous, or roll or Shu, at first glance, you are light, you are good at thinking, this reason can be seen. Li Si's "On the Use of the Pen".
For brushwork, the ancients gave it a very high evaluation and great importance.
For example, when the brushwork is used, the performance of lifting, twisting, turning, and slowing the disease, and in the written ink, it is manifested as light and heavy, square and round, continuous, moist, etc., which is the calligraphy art style and reproduction. The exquisite and rich brushwork should be valued and put more effort into it.
Sixth, pay attention to the internal skills.
In ancient times, all the calligraphers were literati, and today's so-called "calligraphers" are mostly "calligraphers". When the study of calligraphy reaches a certain level, it is the internal learning that plays a decisive role. The internal skills of the characters include the learning and accumulation of traditional culture such as Chinese culture and art.
7. Perseverance in learning.
You can't learn on a whim, three days of fishing, two days of drying nets. You can't "expose yourself to the cold", and daily classes are the only way to improve your artistic level.
8. Go with the flow.
He Shaoji said: "Calligraphers must set up their own doors, and their purpose is to forge the ancients and become a family of their own. "The purpose of learning from the ancient is to transform and make use of it. But this "transformation" is a natural state, a natural process.
9. Combined with the background of the times, innovation and development.
The times are evolving, and the art of calligraphy needs to keep pace with the times. Therefore, we need to innovate and develop on the basis of inheriting the ancient book theory and combining the background of the times.
In the process of innovation, we can draw on modern art concepts and technical means to inject new vitality into traditional calligraphy. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the aesthetic needs of contemporary society and create works that are in line with the spirit of the times.
