The Great Reveal: The Secret of Calligraphy Entering the National Exhibition

The secret of calligraphy entering the national exhibition

The work has three viewpoints

Many people have spent a lot of thought preparing works for the national exhibition. In fact, there is a knack for preparing the work. Those who have seen the judges on the ground will find that first of all, many works are packaged into rolls, and then they are opened by the staff one by one, so what is the trick here? Because the works are very long (large), when the judges sit there, his point of view will generally be focused:

The Great Reveal: The Secret of Calligraphy Entering the National Exhibition

1. The middle part of the work.

Sometimes the above works will crush your works that you can't see above. Sometimes it's not all open. Moreover, even when the work is hung, the judges rarely look up at the top.

2. Drop and lower part.

This is the closest part to the judges, and his point of view will fall here.

3. The first few words in the upper right corner.

If the work is fully open, the jury habitually looks at it from the top left corner in the order in which it was written.

Therefore, when preparing the work, it is best to deal with these three viewpoints.

2 Links on the back of the work

Isn't the back of the work written with your name and mailing address in accordance with the requirements of the call for papers? yes. But you don't know, how much utility does it have in the judging process?. According to my observation, many judges often pay attention to who wrote this when judging, especially when hanging up the award, they often have a classic action---- open the lower right corner of the work to see.

What does this mean? That's to see who wrote this! If you know enough friends and judges, you need to write the name on the back of the work larger, with the kind of wide pencil used for woodworking! At the same time, it is written in the middle of the back of the work, the lower left corner of the back, etc., to give the judges some convenience.

3 Works payment problems

I am not talking about how to operate the position in the chapter, nor is it a question of what font to use. Flickering science basically does not involve the ontology of calligraphy, but pays more attention to practicality!

1. Do not write the name of this and that, this, and the hall.

Or that sentence---- no one even knows your real name, why use the jai number? To drop your real name, it is best to use your full name. Three-word names are written in all three words, and four-word names are written in four words.

2, to redesign their own name.

I mean, it's easy to recognize the name at a glance. Don't write so much that you don't even know the ghost, it's useless to make the signature very handsome here!

3. Pull some distance between your name and the name or the last name.

The aim is to make the name stand out appropriately.

4, the name does not affect the overall effect and rules, write bigger, thicker.

In this way, you will have the advantage in the initial evaluation, the final evaluation, and the award. unbelief? You are the one who doesn't believe it!

4 questions of who to learn

Many people have been diligent in traditional classic calligraphy for many years, and even spent their lives studying tradition. But I want to tell you: calligraphy creation and national exhibition creation are definitely not the same thing. To put it bluntly, the creation of the National Exhibition is for the judges to see, in the words of a famous expert who said in a lecture in a training class: "Your purpose is to fool the judges!".

Therefore, according to the countless national exhibitions over the years, judging from the award-winning and participating works, you use the style of the ancients, including Wang Xizhi, Su Dongpo, and Wang Duo, and basically no drama. Even Wang Xizhi's personal participation in the exhibition was in vain. Because although the jury mouths and mouths say that it is necessary to take root in tradition, what is the specific and what kind of tradition is, in fact, the judges themselves are not clear at all. They'll pretend that you didn't post.

So what to do? Learn from contemporary people. For example: learn From Zhang Xuguang, learn from Liu Hongbiao, learn from Wang Yijun, learn from Li Shuangyang, learn from Chen Hailiang... Now look at the big exhibition middle school they have all won, at least into the exhibition. Tip: Don't learn from Chen Zhongkang, because the judges can't understand it!

5 specifics to learn whose fashion is sex

National exhibition works should learn from contemporary people, not all contemporary people are suitable for learning, we must pay attention to the fashion of following the trend! For example, the original Young People's Exhibition liu Zhengcheng, popular book style study Wang Yong, the first two years to learn Zhang Xuguang, Chen Zhongkang, Wang Yijun, Chen Hailiang, from these changes and the fashion of the style of the national exhibition, the wind is changing! Tastes are changing!

How to grasp fashion? Everyone is facing three twilights and four twilights, so you must also face Qin Twilight Chu. Regarding this fashion grasp, you'd better follow a recent exhibition. Don't learn from the previous few years, that style has long been unpopular, don't find yourself uncomfortable.

So, a calligrapher is like a fashion designer, you have to follow the fashion wind closely, so that you don't fall behind. In fact, this is the most ruthless popular book style also!

Don't raise the bar with me, what is the purpose of your submission to the national exhibition? Don't you just want to enter the exhibition, win awards, join the book association, become famous, and sell words to make money?! Don't tell me: I'm trying to inherit the essence of the country, I want to test my own level. If you say that, I think you're so hypocritical!

6. Grasp of modification

Many people have always wondered how to grasp the personality of the creation of national exhibition works. To give two examples: an authoritative person said to me---- national exhibition works, the personality is too ostentatious to enter, to write the middle! What does it mean? There are always people who like to be too public and some people who oppose it, so don't take this risk. So, whenever the results of the awards come out, the judges themselves wonder: What about such a result? Even they themselves are confused!

When a first-prize author of the Ninth National Exhibition was questioned by a reporter, there was such a dialogue:

Reporter: Comparing your usual creations with the award-winning works of the National Exhibition, the award-winning works are written very simply, why?

Award-winning author: Don't make the works of the national exhibition too complicated, the judges can't understand it!

Yes, it's too advanced, the judges really can't understand it! Don't think that the judges are experts, in fact, they are often inferior to you. unbelief? The judges were mules who came out for a walk--- of course, most of them did not dare to come out and walk in front of everyone. In addition, the national exhibition selection itself is a public activity, not a high-end selection or a strong academic research, this is a calligraphy audition activity with the participation of the whole people, so popular, beautiful, suitable for the public's taste of things will always be the mainstream.

7 divisions are very important

China is a country that pays attention to the inheritance of teachers, so whether you have a teacher inheritance is very important for your life. We can see this from the alumni association and the political arena.

Calligraphy, since it is a profession in this era and even a tool for promotion and wealth, shicheng is quite important. We can see this from the list of winners in countless major exhibitions. On this point, we can find out from some of the usual calligraphy activities, art collections, and some clues.

Therefore, I would like to advise everyone to visit a few good teachers through various relationships if they have a chance. Teacher, I think it should be a person with real power, judges, book association leaders, in short, "say you can, you can do, you can do it".

8 Make more friends

Now, young people rise up quickly, so as a calligrapher, especially a calligrapher with social attributes, you must relax your eyes and make more friends. In addition to the teacher level and judge level, we must also pay attention to the most powerful contemporary middle-aged and young people. These people may be judges in two years. So, one day your iron brothers have become judges, haha, your works are hung in the exhibition hall, I lean on, what do you feel in your heart at that time? I really hope that in the next few years, the contemporary book world will form a big circle of relationships, and everyone will be friends, and that is when the contemporary book world is truly harmonious. Looking forward to...

Write well, but also learn to be a good person, this is the last word!

9 Visual impact issues

It should be understood that the works in the exhibition are not the same thing as the works of elegant play created in the study. Why? Because the exhibition works are supported by a large exhibition hall environment. Therefore, the works in the exhibition hall must consider the visual impact.

Many calligraphers always use the usual methods when creating exhibition works, but this is actually a misunderstanding!

For example, if your words are small, then when judging, look through the whole article, and there is nothing else but chapters. So at the time of the initial review, if the judges are slightly negligent, you will die.

For example, your handwriting is delicate and the details are very good. However, when it comes to judging, the chance of up to 3 seconds, not all the judges have the time and mind to see your details and refinement.

Therefore, it is necessary to write large words, novel chapters, combinations, exaggerations, and deformations of certain words. At this point, everyone can look at the award-winning works in the collections of national exhibitions, look at the size of their works, the size of the words and the impact.

Finally, I would like to say that the calligraphy exhibition is not a place to measure the good and bad of calligraphy, how much effort is made, where it may be nothing, and no matter how bad the writing is, it may also be famous there. All in all, the calligraphy exhibition is not a place to show the level of calligraphy, to put it bluntly, it is a place to show who can drill camps, and it is a place where you can use kung fu other than calligraphy to make a name for yourself in the calligraphy world. Therefore, first learn to operate, as to whether the writing is good or not, is it still important? You put so much effort into wanting to be famous, you stupid!
