4-6 years old, calligraphy enlightenment. Now more and more parents are beginning to realize the beauty of traditional writing brush, so many parents let their children practice writing brush. If you enlighten them with calligraphy first, you can get twice the result with half the effort. 4-6 years old, calligraphy enlightenment.
4-6 years old calligraphy enlightenment 1 1, the cultivation of calligraphy interest
Mainly to cultivate children's interest in calligraphy. Show children calligraphy works in different fonts, in the form of Spring Festival couplets, calligraphy calendars and calligraphers' works around them; Tell children touching stories of ancient calligraphers such as Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhengqing learning calligraphy, and stimulate children's interest in learning calligraphy from an early age. Encourage children to discover and show the charm of calligraphy in their lives, such as cutting and pasting their favorite works in magazines such as Calligraphy Newspaper and Children's Calligraphy and Painting, and leaving them at home. Look at some calligraphy inscriptions in the street under the leadership of parents, take children to art galleries to see calligraphy exhibitions and so on.
Second, let children know how to touch calligraphy tools.
Understand the calligraphy tools (pen, ink, paper, inkstone) and master the posture of sitting and holding. Choose a lamb brush and introduce the pen holder, bristles, ink and paper to the children. The writing brush is composed of the nib, the center, the side and the root, which has different functions and effects in calligraphy. Ink can be preserved. Words written in ink can be kept underground for a hundred years or even longer without fading. Of course, when using ink, you should pay attention to keeping the desktop, paper and body clean. Introduce wool paper to children. Beginners can also use large notebooks. When they publish their works, they are usually written on white rice paper from different sources. These introductions can increase children's perceptual knowledge, just need to understand. And wrote a song "The Song of Orthodoxy" to hang in the classroom-"The word is the first, the elbow should be heavy, the heart should be fixed, and the pen should have its own spirit" to encourage and remind children to have a correct sitting posture and pen holding posture.
And introduce to the children that Xuan paper in Jingxian county, Anhui province, Xuan pen in Xuancheng, ink in Huizhou and inkstone in Shexian county, as the artistic inheritance of the motherland for thousands of years, we should love the art of calligraphy.
Third, the inking method should be proper.
It is important to dip in ink. More seepage and less dryness. To this end, prodigy Baidu invented an interesting method, vividly comparing the brush to a general who went to war. When dipping in ink, she has to run around the bottle mouth a few times, which means to wipe off the excess ink and squeeze it out. In this way, children can easily understand and learn to use pens. Imitate the general writing with a brush, and compare the practice of writing with a pen to general wading, so that the writing skills can be skillfully and vividly understood by children. If General Brush drinks too much water, his stomach will be overwhelmed. If he doesn't drink water, General Brush will die of thirst, which will teach children to dip in the right ink. However, because children are young, wool paper is generally used in practice, and the inkstone will be replaced by a tall glass bottle, which is more conducive to how children transport and dip ink and educate children to keep their words clean and tidy. If it is dirty, children like to wear clean and beautiful people.
Fourth, the formal writing of children's calligraphy
My sister agrees with some experts' suggestions that it is better for beginners to start with basic strokes than with copywriting, because this view abandons quick success and pays more attention to quality enlightenment. When teaching basic strokes, there are vivid line songs. For example, the line song of "One" is "light left, light pen, right line, front up, twist pen, back forward", which makes it much easier for children to understand. And learn Chinese characters in simple stroke teaching. For example, after teaching horizontally and vertically, children can learn to write "Ten, Scholar and King", practice "Man, Big and Heaven" after learning skimming, learn Chinese characters "Moon and Zhong" after learning folding strokes, avoid the monotony of writing strokes, and learn the practice of strokes while learning Chinese characters. In short, words and pens are integrated and interwoven.
Continue to learn Chinese characters as an auxiliary to consolidate basic strokes, such as "book, year, you, me, use and residence". Instead, it focuses on strengthening children's awareness of layout before writing, emphasizing "intention first" and laying the foundation for independent practice in the future. In order to cultivate this, I use Mi Zige form (1 and 5 as the first red line, 2 and 6 as the second yellow line, 3 and 7 as the third green line, and 4 and 8 as the fourth purple line) to help children understand the layout consciousness. When children can skillfully refer to 4 colors and 8 lines and say the way of strokes, they will initially have a sense of layout. After mastering it, children have a stronger desire for knowledge about calligraphy, which is a leap and an overall exercise. Carefully selected exercises "Young Chigo" and "Love China", the practice process is different from the previous period. Show the whole work first, let the children have a complete experience, then let the children paint it red, and then give appropriate guidance according to their respective situations, and then encourage copying. As long as the general layout and structure are similar, the prototype need not be too rigid, so that children can keep their own style. At this stage, we can also organize children to participate in some calligraphy competitions, encourage them to hang and display their works, and give them a sense of accomplishment.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) summarizes the improvement stage
After two years of study, most children persisted, while a few gave up halfway, which was widely praised by parents, especially children. They are more and more interested in calligraphy and full of knowledge and curiosity about new skills. Every time they go to calligraphy activities, they show their talents and their calligraphy level is greatly improved.
Calligraphy teaching is intended to cultivate children's interest, not to be eager for quick success and instant benefit, and each child's understanding will be different. Mainly to encourage teaching, and to compare with children at all stages. You can't compare one child's handwriting with other children, so that their families can cooperate with each other for education. For example, some parents will ask their children to practice five sheets of paper a night, while others will ignore them. The essence of calligraphy art lies in the nature of the writer and his words, as well as the environment. When children are getting better and better at calligraphy activities, the quiet and focused writing atmosphere can make everyone indulge in it and can't bear to break it. In particular, persistence has been cultivated. Many children "practice three or nine in winter and three volts in summer" and never give up.
Sixth, the cultivation of children's artistic quality.
The enhancement of children's aesthetic feeling. Many children can correctly evaluate their own or their peers' works, and they all use professional vocabulary, such as the thickness of strokes, the change of height and the correct position. Their aesthetic interest in calligraphy also extends to other artistic fields, such as actively participating in or watching calligraphy competitions or exhibitions organized by libraries, and showing strong interest in printmaking organized by primary schools. There should be a set of vivid, diverse and coherent teaching methods to guide children to be happy physically and mentally in writing. In the procedure, we can start with emotional edification, and then let the children know the writing tools and master the sitting and holding posture. Writing begins with the common words of basic strokes and then goes to the overall practice of exercise questions. Methods Interesting, vivid and easy-to-understand teaching methods and teaching AIDS should be used, such as "line song" for basic strokes (for example, "line song" means "light left, light pen, line right, front up, twist pen and back to front").
Seven, experience and reflection
Through several years of teaching practice, I think children should not spend too long learning calligraphy. I suggest that the kindergarten arrange calligraphy activities twice a week, each time not exceeding one hour, and the progress of the middle class should be slower. Large classes can be improved on the basis of middle classes, mainly to cultivate interest and not to put too much pressure on children. It is best to let parents cooperate with school study and practice, which will get twice the result with half the effort.
4-6 years old calligraphy enlightenment 2 The best age for children to learn calligraphy.
There is an optimal age for children to practice calligraphy, preferably starting from 5-6 years old, which can be appropriately floated according to their personal situation.
Because children of this age can easily control writing pens such as writing brushes, and can also conduct simple teaching, which can clearly distinguish official script, regular script and cursive script. And they also have a certain understanding of the characters, so this time is a good time to lay the foundation for writing good words.
Matters needing attention in children's learning calligraphy
Confucius listed "calligraphy teaching" as "six arts" and became a compulsory course for scholars. In the following 2500 years, calligraphy has always been an important part of children's enlightenment education. Later, the children's enlightenment tutorial "Saint Amethyst" mentioned: "Rites and music shooting, the number of imperial books, and the ancient six arts are not available today. Only books are learned, and people can learn, read, talk and talk. " This shows that after thousands of years of precipitation, people have paid more attention to children's calligraphy education than other arts.
However, the current situation of children's calligraphy education is not optimistic. Almost all schools only attach importance to the education of cultural knowledge courses, while ignoring the education of calligraphy art courses.
The main reason is that calligraphy education, especially brush calligraphy education, is not convenient to popularize traditional, cumbersome and inefficient practice methods, and the modern way of text communication is gradually replacing handwritten words with computer writing.
In fact, parents all know that it is very helpful for children to learn calligraphy, and it is very meaningful for children to practice good handwriting from an early age. But most of them don't know how to teach their children calligraphy well, and they don't know what points to pay attention to when practicing calligraphy, so they often spend a lot of time and energy to let their children practice at home, but there is no obvious improvement, so they have to give up practicing.
And look at other people's children's calligraphy training classes for a period of time, and the words begin to look decent. The obvious temperament is different from that of children who have never studied calligraphy, and they will become more calm and confident.
This shows that the key point of children's calligraphy education is not to let children blindly copy at home, but to find a professional teacher to guide or go to a professional calligraphy school for targeted study, so as to get twice the result with half the effort and get more progress and gains in a shorter time than others.
Moreover, calligraphy is not only the art of writing, but also can cultivate children's artistic accomplishment and improve their personal quality. Therefore, a responsible teacher should not only teach children to write well, but also cultivate their good moral character and accomplishment, and improve their comprehensive quality in an all-round way.
The benefits of children learning calligraphy
First, learning calligraphy can calm children down, nourish their spirits and be good for their health.
In the process of learning calligraphy, children mainly practice, especially training the movements of fingers, wrists and arms to achieve coordination and flexibility. These movements are directed by the brain, and regular training is beneficial to the growth and development of the brain.
Primary school students are in the golden age of brain development, and practicing calligraphy in this period is very necessary to promote children's brain development, develop intelligence and cultivate IQ.
Secondly, when practicing calligraphy, the fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders and arms of the human body move rhythmically with the writing of strokes, and various organs are also exercised accordingly. Although you can't see how much exercise is from the outside, it's actually like gossip, Tai Chi and Xingyiquan, combining rigidity with softness. This is what people often call "slow qigong".
When writing, you can regulate the meridians, breathe smoothly, and finally reach the correspondence between the heart and the hand, so that you can be healthy. Thirdly, practicing calligraphy can eliminate children's impetuous emotions and calm them down.
If you practice for an hour every day, that is, you have an hour of peace, only tension without peace, only fatigue without rest, it is bound to be harmful to your health ... you don't have to be a famous artist or artwork, but it is also one of its functions, to adjust your life and calm your spirit. The best way to free children from impetuous emotions and calm them down is to practice calligraphy. There is also a saying that practicing calligraphy is also a good way to treat ADHD in children.
Second, learning calligraphy can cultivate students' good moral sentiments.
Calligraphy is the quintessence of the Chinese nation. There is a long history of development from the initial formation of characters to the improvement of calligraphy art. In this long river of language and characters, there have been many great calligraphers of different dynasties and generations with different styles and excellent personalities and knowledge. Whether they are diligent and eager to learn, or their principles of being a man, they are all examples for us to learn.
For example, Wang Xizhi learned books to make the pool full of ink, Sui monks bravely learned to write like tombs, Tang Huaisu wrote books without paper with banana leaves, and Yan Zhenqing was an official with a noble character of integrity and would rather die than surrender. These stories, which have been passed down through the ages, have a strong appeal to the cultivation of children's morality and perseverance. So children learn to be human in the process of learning books.
Chinese characters are also a kind of culture, and for a nation, writing is a kind of cohesion. Because every Chinese character embodies the wisdom and essence of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and also embodies a national spirit. Teaching children to write Chinese characters is to let them know and experience national culture, national thoughts and feelings and national spirit.
Thirdly, learning calligraphy can enrich knowledge and cultivate good study habits.
Learning calligraphy well must be based on rich knowledge. Yang Shoujing, a calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty, believed that in addition to high quality, "a person should learn to be rich, and the spirit of books is naturally beneficial to lines." Learning from reading is more important, which is the second gain of improving children's cultural quality-making children love learning.
Calligraphy has strict writing rules. Children can learn calligraphy while learning literacy, which can not only consolidate what they have learned, but also promote the improvement of writing level and make writing more beautiful and standardized.
Imagine that when a teacher gets an assignment and a test paper, beautiful writing can make the teacher look very happy, but the messy homework can't even be seen clearly, so the poorly written test paper is bound to lose a lot of points, especially reading and composition.
By learning calligraphy, students can develop meticulous, focused, calm and lasting learning quality. As Mr. Guo Moruo said, it is good to write the words in a standard, dignified, clean and easy to recognize. Can make people careful, easy to concentrate and considerate.
It is easy to do things rashly, carelessly and arbitrarily, and practicing calligraphy can avoid these problems. Why can learning calligraphy make people careful and easy to concentrate? Because calligraphy is a very delicate activity, if you want to write a good hand, you need to concentrate, hold your breath, carefully observe the structure of the word, and control the priorities of using the pen with your brain, eyes and hands accordingly. Over time, you can subtly change a person's psychological quality and develop a calm habit. Once children develop good learning quality, it is very beneficial to the study of other courses and even the future development.
Practicing calligraphy can also cultivate children's ability of observation, thinking, analysis and expression. In the process of learning, teachers consciously guide students to observe and analyze the differences of various strokes and the structure of words, learn how to write according to copybooks, let children feel and appreciate the beauty of calligraphy, and think about how to express it in the writing process to achieve this effect. In the long run, children's abilities of observation, thinking, analysis and expression will certainly be developed. If you apply this good habit to the study of culture class, it will help to improve your academic performance.
Fourth, learning calligraphy can cultivate temperament and exercise will.
Calligraphy art can't be completed overnight. As the ancients said, the blade is sharpened, and the plum blossom is fragrant and bitter. The ancients learned nothing, and it takes time to grow old; Every day when the cock crows, it is the best time for boys to read. These incisive theories fully point out that the study of any knowledge must be accumulated over time, and you must never get cold at one time. Therefore, there is no shortcut to learning calligraphy. Only by learning bit by bit, from strokes to structure to composition, copying more, creating more, broadening one's horizons, keeping it in mind, grasping it in one's hands, reaching the correspondence between heart and hand, and creating no self, is the best realm.
It can be seen that learning calligraphy can temper people's will quality. Some children just started to learn calligraphy, forgetful, impetuous and inattentive. After practicing for a while, I couldn't sit still and even got ink all over my face. After a period of calligraphy practice, they gradually calmed down, and all these problems disappeared, so they could write calmly.
4 A 6-year-old calligraphy enlightenment 3 First of all, which font of brush calligraphy looks good?
Usually, what looks good is appealing to both refined and popular tastes, and the better-looking calligraphy is official script and regular script. Chu Suiliang, Ou Yangxun and Zhao Mengfu in regular script look better, while Cao Quanbei, Kong Zhoubei and Li Bei in official script are beautiful and elegant. There is no best way to say this, it depends entirely on personal aesthetics.
Second, there are several fonts in brush calligraphy.
Seal script is a general term for big seal script and small seal script. Dazhuan refers to Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Jinwen, Jinwen and Six Kingdoms, and retains the obvious features of ancient hieroglyphics. Xiao Zhuan, also known as "Qin Zhuan", is the common language of Qin State. In the development history of Chinese characters, it is the transition between seal script and official script. Seal script is the most meaningful and the most difficult to write.
In the process of "writing in the same language", Qin Shihuang ordered Li Si to create Xiao Zhuan, and also adopted the official script compiled by Cheng Miao. After seal script, official script is a very beautiful style. There is rippling beauty.
There are three kinds of cursive scripts: Cao Zhang, Modern Cao Cao and Crazy Cao Cao. There are rules to follow in the changes of strokes, such as the urgent chapter of the Three Kingdoms Wu in Songjiang Edition. Today's grass is eclectic and fluent, and its representative works include Wang Xizhi's "The First Moon" and Jin Dynasty's "Getting Time".
Running script is a font between regular script and cursive script. Running script was the most famous in Song Dynasty, including Mi Fei, Su Shi and Huang Tingjian of Cai Xiang.
Regular script is a kind of China font, and it is a popular handwritten orthographic Chinese character, which evolved from official script. Also known as block letters. It is a kind of calligraphy with the longest development time in China.
Because everyone's aesthetic is different, the appreciation of brush calligraphy fonts is also varied. Of course, some fonts, such as regular script and official script, are generally recognized as beautiful, so if you want to learn brush calligraphy, you can choose your favorite calligraphy font to copy besides those common fonts.
