In recent years, the value and the status of calligraphy education have been reexamined. Scholars strongly appeal for the attention of calligraphy education, and it is also paid high attention by the Ministry of Education, which issued a series of documents vigorously popularize calligraphy education in primary and secondary schools. In 2011, Ministry of Education issued “Views n the Carrying out Calligraphy Education in Primary and Secondary Schoolsâ€, which clearly requiredthat students in primary and secondary school should increase the copy exercises to have some calligraphical-copy capabilities. The premise for copy is to carefully observe the copybook, which is an important way to learn calligraphy and obtain the ancients’ way of using brush. The level of observational capacity l of the people who write calligraphy directly influences their learning effectiveness.Currently, the studentsin the primary school involved in the copy Calligraphy Teaching have very weak observation capacity, ambiguouspurpose of observation, unclear observational methods, one-side and inaccurate observation, and other prevalentissues. Thus, their calligraphy writing is far behind the original ones. Therefore, the teacher should pay more attention to the training of students’ observational abilities in the calligraphical copy teaching of primary school to lay a good foundation for the further study and research of calligraphy.This paper first defines the relevant concepts of observation, observation capacity,calligraphical observation capacity, etc., analyzes the constituent elementsand structure of the students’ calligraphical observation capacity, and explores the forming process of the students’ calligraphically observational capacity and the factors affecting students’ calligraphilly observational capacity. Forlack of the students’ calligraphilly observational capacity, based on his own teaching experience, the author links the factors affecting the observational capacity, and proposes the training strategies of students’ calligraphically observational capacity. Finally, based on classroom teaching practice, and combing the relevant theory and research result, he rethinks the countermeasures for students’ observational-capacity-training in primary calligraphy teaching. |
