Grade 1-6. 2014-2020. Calligraphy Practice

It was 6 years old when I first came into contact with calligraphy.

At that time, there would often be an old man who dipped a brush as big as a baseball bat in water and wrote beautiful calligraphy in the square next to the community.He would also bring a few more large brushes and buckets so that children and adults passing by could try writing.

Later I found out that this old man was a calligraphy teacher, and we called him Mr. Jiao.His calligraphy classroom was next to my home, so I started going to his calligraphy classroom to learn calligraphy.

In the process of practicing calligraphy, he would teach us to carefully observe each stroke of the calligraphy, held our hands and taught us how to use force for each stroke, and taught us to calm down and worked hard day after day to improve our abilities.

After Mr. Jiao passed away, his son Mr. Jiao continued to teach us.It can be said that I grew up in this calligraphy class, and this calligraphy class also influenced many children in my family.

To this day, I still practice calligraphy when I have time. Practicing calligraphy has become a habit of mine and it can also soothe my emotions.Practicing calligraphy also helps me, no matter which grade I am in, my homework and test papers are always among the best and neatest.

When I was a child, I always went to calligraphy classes by myself, and I didn’t have a mobile phone, so I left very few photos and information, only a few occasionally taken by the teacher, let me share them with you.

最早接触书法的时候我大概6岁，那时经常会有一个老爷爷用棒球棒那么大的毛笔沾水，在小区旁边的广场上写很好看的毛笔字。他还会多带几个大毛笔和水桶，让路过的孩子和大人们也尝试书写。

后来才知道这个老爷爷是个书法老师，我们叫他老焦老师。他的书法教室就在我家旁边，于是我开始去他的书法教室学习书法。

在练习书法的过程中，他会教我们仔细观察字帖的一笔一画，握住我们的手教我们每个笔画如何用力，以及教我们静下心来一天又一天努力去提升自己的能力。

老焦老师去世后，他的儿子小焦老师继续教我们。可以说我是在这个书法班长大的，这个书法班也影响了我家那一片的很多孩子。到现在我有时间也还是会去练一练字，练字已经成了我的一种习惯，也很能安抚我的情绪，练字还帮助我不论在哪个年级，我的作业和试卷一直都是名列前茅的整洁。

小时候我都是自己去书法班，也没有手机，所以留下的照片资料很少，只有偶尔老师拍的几张，让我分享给你们看看。
