No matter whether you are a beginner or a master of calligraphy, there are only 3 kinds of calligraphy works you can face, the first one is the calligraphy posters of the ancients, the second one is the works of the present calligraphers, and the third one is your own calligraphy works.
For these three kinds of calligraphy works, now do different interpretation:
First, the ancient calligraphy works
The calligraphy works of the ancients, not all are fine. Although we say that the calligraphy of the ancients than the level of contemporary people is certainly a big step higher. But not all of the calligraphy works of the ancients are necessarily fine. Therefore, in order to judge the level of calligraphy works of the ancients, you need to have a certain eye and appreciation.
And we say that these two points are exactly what people who are learning calligraphy for the first time do not have. Therefore, this is a contradiction. Then how should we solve it? In fact, it is very simple, just need to pay attention to the following three points:
(1) Look at the fame
First of all, let's look at how famous the calligrapher is. For example, if you want to pick a calligraphy character post, one person is Ouyang Xun's calligraphy character post, one is Huang Ziyuan's calligraphy character post. Regardless of the level of calligraphy of these two, just from the fame of Ouyang Xun's calligraphy fame is certainly greater than Huang Ziyuan, so pick the posters, choose Ouyang Xun is absolutely right.
This is based on the fact that these calligraphers have passed away, and when evaluating their calligraphic achievements, one does not have to take too much into account other non-artistic factors, and can purely focus on the artistic level of the artistic level, and is therefore relatively objective and fair.
(2) Look at the evaluation
This evaluation includes both modern art reviews and ancient calligraphy reviews. But give priority to the calligraphy of the ancients. The reason is that many of the modern art reviews are made for non-artistic reasons. Some speak for their own vested interest in the field. This was not the case with the ancients, as few of them made money from writing in calligraphy, so the comments were closer to the artistic side.
So what do reviews mainly look for? Look for good reviews and bad reviews. You first have to look at the calligraphy of the worst one of the evaluation is what, and then weigh the bad reviews you say whether acceptable, acceptable on the choice of its calligraphy, you feel that this take the shortcomings you can not tolerate, do not pick.
As if we are shopping, look at the instructions for the drug, we like to see the shopping netizen comments evaluation, buyer show, is to more comprehensive understanding of the most real shortcomings of this commodity is what. Because as long as the goods, there are bound to be advantages, the advantages are not something you need to dig up, because the businessman will be unable to wait to tell you, but he will not tell you where the defects of this commodity, so you need to find out for yourself.
(3) Listen to the experience of friends and seniors to choose
Learning calligraphy to find a few like-minded calligraphy friends is necessary. You can see how your calligraphy friends choose fonts, and then you can find some calligraphy bulls, ask for their advice, they have been learning the techniques for many years, there is bound to be some experience, these are good references.
