Research On Modern Calligraphy In The New Media Environment

This research begins with a brief overview of new media and related concepts of modern calligraphy in order to clarify the relationships between traditional and modern calligraphy.It also analyzes the necessity of integrating new media into modern calligraphy from the following three aspects: social environment,creative subject and aesthetic concept.Secondly,it explores the application of new media in different stages of modern calligraphy development from these three dimensions: the experimentation,generalization and pluralism of new media in modern calligraphy.Thirdly,the value evaluation is carried out from two aspects: the advantages and limitations of modern calligraphy brought by new media.New media have changed the modern calligraphy from single creation medium to pluralistic one,from static interactive mode to dynamic one and from elite audience to common people.On the negative side,new media have led to the problems of blurring the boundaries of modern calligraphy,weakening the spiritual connotation,limiting the recipient’s cognitive level and the choice of venue.Finally,in view of the above-mentioned problems brought by new media to modern calligraphy,the negative effect of new media on modern calligraphy should be improved by balancing the relationships of calligraphy and media,reconstructing the ecology of modern calligraphy and improving the artistic literacy of modern calligraphers,recipients and disseminators.In a word,the development of modern calligraphy should establish its own unique charm and show the unique spirit of calligraphy by making good use of new media.
