How to make children love writing brush characters

When you want to do a good job, you have to make good use of your tools. We don't care what we can learn, but we have all the supplies we need to learn how to write with a brush. Before learning, I went to a professional art supply store, and the owner picked out some suitable supplies for us. There was an ink stone, a pen, a felt with a red meter grid printed on it, and a decent brush. The boss said that you need to have a similar pen to practice calligraphy, and that a ten or eight dollar one would be fine for a child to play with colors and gouache. So I bought a slightly better brush. A big bottle of Yidege ink. The paper is old newspaper.

Hire a good teacher. It is a blessing to have a good initiation teacher. The teacher will lead and guide your learning in a very professional way. The teacher I hired had years of experience, was patient and professional. It is really lucky.

The child was carefully consulted before learning. Ask if you like writing brush characters and if you like this teacher. The child readily agreed.

Encourage your child with positive examples. The child's grandfather wrote a good handwriting. Every Spring Festival, families ask him to write spring scrolls. Use such examples to encourage your child to learn good writing. Learn from your grandfather.

Previously, I had the experience of playing with brushes. Last winter I bought a set of water-writable brush set for the children to play, his father also often play with them, write a few words for the children to see. After playing for a winter, the child is somewhat familiar with the pen and strokes, so it's easier to get the hang of formally writing brush characters with ink.

To be more encouraging. The child's first learning must write badly, and sometimes the grip on the brush is crooked. The posture is also not upright. But it's okay to be more encouraging. She went home and practiced also felt that her words were particularly difficult to read. But I told her, if you write exceptionally well, you don't need to learn from Mr. Han, you'll start your own calligraphy class and become a teacher, praising her for every improvement. The child smiled and was able to delight in her shortcomings. The child will improve every day. Never rush.

Practice every day, but be careful to keep your child's interest. I simply tell my children that they can't do their homework when they are in calligraphy with their teachers. The first thing you do when you get home is write the homework left by the teacher at school, then the homework left by the calligraphy teacher. The rest of the time is play. I don't ask my kids to practice more, but I do ask the teacher to give them homework at the beginning of the learning process. The child is pro-teacher and likes the teacher's work. And if I say anything more, my child will definitely resent it. I do want her to practice more, but I get there through the teacher's homework.

Make sure you stick to it. Learning is never a one-day job, and you have to practice every day. Ask the teacher to give your child homework even on vacation. Encourage yourself and your child to persevere.

Promise your child that it's not a burden, it's something sweet and fun. I told my child, you have to practice, when the New Year's Eve to give your old aunt you wrote the word of fortune and spring couplets. She said she doesn't know how to write Fu yet. I laughed, the teacher will teach you. What an accomplishment it will be. We all couldn't help but long for it. I also promised my child that if the characters were well written, I would give her a good ink stone and also carve her a name seal.
