Features: Regular script is the fundamental style for beginners in calligraphy and a must-practice for primary school students. Renowned calligraphy educators such as Xue Fubin and Yang Guangxin have meticulously compiled this "Primary School Calligraphy Series" course, which has been reviewed by Mr. Ouyang Zhongshi. This series consists of two parts: Copying Classics and Collecting Characters, each suitable for different learning stages.
The Copying Classics series (4 volumes, one for each of Yan, Liu, Ouyang, and Zhao) provides detailed introductions to the rules of stroke execution, characteristics of radicals, and structural features through text explanations, examples, and stroke diagrams. It is ideal for the initial learning phase. By reading the text explanations, analyzing stroke diagrams, studying the characteristics of brushwork, and appreciating the structural layout, students can lay a solid foundation for further progress.
The Collecting Characters series (4 volumes, one for each of Yan, Liu, Ouyang, and Zhao) selects original characters from classic scripts and arranges them in five formats: horizontal scrolls, square frames, fans, hanging scrolls, and vertical scrolls. This not only preserves the original appearance and style of the scripts but also greatly aids in appreciation and creative practice.
This course helps primary school students improve their calligraphy skills step by step while also enhancing their appreciation of calligraphy as an art form.
