"Thanks to Teacher Zhang, in just one year since the establishment of the Huggies Calligraphy and Painting Studio, child Zuo Zixian's sketching has reached level five, and child Liu Xiwen's soft-pen calligraphy has passed level four..." July 13, Sayibage Street Zhao Bing, the first secretary of Ruixiang Community, said.
The Curious Calligraphy and Painting Room is a functional room of the Ruixiang Community New Era Civilization Practice Station. It was planned to be built in June 2021. The "Visiting Huiju" team stationed in the community prepared teaching materials as well as pens, paper, easels, paints and other school supplies for it. In particular, Zhang Xinjun, a member of the Chinese Art Research Institute, was invited to teach. In July of the same year, a large number of interested students came to study during the summer vacation.
The oldest student who came to the painting and calligraphy studio at that time was 14 years old, and the youngest was only 3 years old. For their parents, their children come to the community just to have someone take care of them, and they don’t want to learn any knowledge at all. But Teacher Zhang is particularly responsible for the students. According to the students' talents, he has opened four classes: hard-pen calligraphy , soft-pen calligraphy, traditional Chinese painting and sketching.
Over the past year, with the support of the community, Teacher Zhang has taught basic knowledge of art and calligraphy to improve students' appreciation and creative abilities. More than three-quarters of the students took the exam and passed it. The Curious Calligraphy and Painting Studio has been recognized by students and parents. . At the report meeting to parents, the students who were learning painting were extremely skilled in color matching and the compositions were also very novel and unique. After a while, the childlike works came to life on the paper, winning rounds of applause from the parents. Ren Xiaojuan, secretary of the party committee of
community, said: "We will establish the concept of 'big education' and further link various educational resources to turn the community into a university hall and truly become a spiritual home for all types of people." (Correspondent Ge Huituan)
