Calligraphy, as a traditional art of China celebrities, has a history of more than 3,000 years. It is an abstract art that takes Chinese characters as materials and lines and their movements as forms to express spiritual realm and embody aesthetic ideals. Through the study of calligraphy course, I have a further understanding of the development of calligraphy and the works of famous artists and representatives in past dynasties, and at the same time I have a deeper understanding of the appreciation of calligraphy.
Below, I will further discuss the development process and law of calligraphy, how to appreciate calligraphy and the experience of learning calligraphy. ?
First, the development process and law of calligraphy. China's calligraphy art began in the generation stage of Chinese characters, and China famous artists first used lines to express the meaning of words. The original form of words is picture words rather than pictures.
As for the development of calligraphy, from Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a large number of Oracle Bone Inscriptions and inscriptions were unearthed in Shang Dynasty, and the feudal system was established in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In these 500 years, art has made great progress.
The Qin and Han Dynasties were the heyday of China's writing culture, and there were many writing forms such as Da Zhuan, Xiao Zhuan, Mimo and Li Shu. From Shang and Zhou Dynasties to Qin and Han Dynasties, calligraphy completed the emergence and development of Chinese characters, the evolution of calligraphy style and the variation of calligraphy style. What followed was the prosperity of calligraphy.
It began in the Eastern Han Dynasty, during which special phenomena such as the invention of paper and the introduction of Buddhism provided opportunities for the development of calligraphy. By the end of Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin Dynasties, calligraphy had developed into an independent art, and regular script appeared in the Three Kingdoms period. The representative calligrapher is Zhong You, who has made great contributions to the development of regular script.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there appeared famous calligraphers with unprecedented brilliance, such as Lin and the stars. The appearance of Wang Jia and Xie Jia further promoted the realm of calligraphy art and formed the "rhyme" style of calligraphy. Calligraphers also reached an endless realm in running script and cursive script.
At the same time, the birth of Wang Xizhi made calligraphy reach its first peak, and the aesthetic view changed from Gu Zhuo to beauty. Regular script prevailed in Sui Dynasty, leaving a large number of statues, epitaphs and inscriptions. Later, the Tang Dynasty opened the most brilliant chapter in ancient China, with Liu Gongquan, Yan Zhenqing, Ou Yangxun and other calligraphers as representatives.
Among them, Yan Zhenqing's regular script is the most extensive visual art that has influenced people's lives in China over the years, and its style conveys atmosphere, broadness, massiness and tolerance. Later, the appearance of "Song Sijia" made calligraphy mature. In the later Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the style of calligraphy basically had a certain trend, which opened up a new world for the development of calligraphy art.
Modern calligraphy, represented by Wu Changshuo, Lin Sanzhi and Gao Ershi, is characterized by seal script, running script and cursive script. ?
Second, the content and method of calligraphy appreciation? The contents and methods of calligraphy appreciation can be summarized as the following four aspects: 1. Feeling. That is, through repeated observation, through the form of the work, to feel and understand the image, charm, style and interest of the work. ? We can basically do this.
Second, description. That is, to summarize and summarize the artistic characteristics, artistic techniques, spiritual connotation and personal feelings of the works. ? Third, explain. State why, that is, explain and demonstrate what you see and feel. The reality is
This paper analyzes the causes of the works one by one from the aspects of artistic characteristics, artistic techniques and spiritual connotation. ? Fourth, evaluation. That is, aesthetic judgment, which the ancients called "criticism." Mainly from the artistic value, important influence, historical significance, artistic gains and losses, enlightenment and other aspects, including the criticism of existing criticism.
I think this is particularly important, and we should also pay attention to it in our usual practice. Only by knowing how to evaluate a work can we learn from each other's strong points and constantly improve our calligraphy creation ability. ?
General intuitive appreciation mostly stops at the first step, so special appreciation generally includes four complete contents: perception, description, explanation and evaluation, which need to mobilize the comprehensive cultivation of calligraphy creation, calligraphy history and other aspects, and these four contents are mutually inclusive, not independent.
Therefore, we should learn to appreciate calligraphy in this way as much as possible in our daily calligraphy study, and further appreciate the beauty of calligraphy works. ?
You can also select the following:
Learning calligraphy is a gradual process. Through this period of calligraphy study, I have a further understanding of calligraphy and calligraphy appreciation. The appreciation and practice of calligraphy are interrelated, which has never been seen by calligraphers. Calligraphers in past dynasties were mostly calligraphy critics with high appreciation ability.
Everyone attaches great importance to "reading posts". The so-called "reading posts" is to understand the artistic style and techniques adopted or created by calligraphers by observing the traces of calligraphy and inscriptions, so as to improve their appreciation level.
Therefore, for a person who is interested in learning calligraphy, he should also pay attention to reading posts, gradually learn the ability to analyze and appreciate calligraphy works, learn from his strengths and compete for his weaknesses, so as to continuously improve his calligraphy level.
If we analyze and appreciate calligraphy works indiscriminately, we will often make slow progress and even take detours. This is an extremely complicated problem, and there are always different opinions. So far, there is no common appreciation standard.
