Course on Tracing and Copying Traditional Model Characters

Centered on the observation and imitation of traditional calligraphic models, this course suits students interested in exploring diverse character structures. The instructor selects appropriate model characters based on students’ proficiency and interests, explaining stroke morphology, structural composition, stroke sequence, and overall layout, while demonstrating how to observe fine details. Class activities include model analysis, focused practice on specific sections, full-character imitation, and comparison of the student’s work with the original. Students may specify their preferred script styles and practice goals in advance, allowing the instructor to tailor the content accordingly; specific model characters and teaching materials are confirmed during the initial consultation.
