Is your major calligraphy? Can you tell me something about this major?

Because with the increasing prosperity of Chinese studies, calligraphy, as a representative of national culture, has been paid more and more attention by the Ministry of Education. With the continuous improvement of art majors and the increasing pressure of art college entrance examination, the prospects of calligraphy majors are growing. A series of complete calligraphy professional education from undergraduate, master, doctor and postdoctoral has matured. Colleges and universities have set up calligraphy departments one after another, constantly expanding the enrollment quota, and the proportion of calligraphy students admitted to famous universities is getting higher and higher. In particular, liberal arts students with a better foundation in cultural courses have a higher enrollment rate and a brighter future after a period of training in calligraphy professional courses.

At present, more than 40 colleges and universities in China have opened calligraphy and calligraphy-oriented majors. Among them, Shanxi comprehensive universities are: Peking University, China Renmin University, Nankai University, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, xi Jiaotong University, Jinan University, Xi Institute of Technology, Hunan Humanities College, Three Gorges University and other art colleges are: Central Academy of Fine Arts, China Academy of Fine Arts, Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts, Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts, Nanjing Academy of Fine Arts, Guangxi Academy of Fine Arts, Hubei Academy of Fine Arts.

First, the requirements for cultural courses are low: the minimum admission score for students in the calligraphy college entrance examination in 2008 is 340 points. Students who are usually in the middle class have opportunities.

Third, the number of enrollment institutions is increasing and the professional direction tends to be rational. The Ministry of Education controls the enrollment of music, aesthetics and physical education majors, while calligraphy majors not only do not control it, but also vigorously expand enrollment, and the professional direction is more and more scientific and reasonable. For example, the painting and calligraphy direction of China Renmin University and Jinan University, the artistic design (calligraphy direction) of Xi 'an Jiaotong University, and the decorative art (calligraphy direction) of Shandong University of Arts and Crafts. Students majoring in law can generally choose a second undergraduate degree, and graduation is often a double degree.

Fifth, the employment direction is wide: cultural departments, government agencies, publishing houses, television stations, design companies, advertising companies, teachers, secretaries and other industries can be.

With the opening of calligraphy courses in colleges and universities, college calligraphy teachers have become a very popular employment channel.

Design companies have also begun to attach importance to the use of traditional culture. For example, the emblem of China 2008 Olympic Games has the style of calligraphy and seal script.

The more national it is, the more cosmopolitan it is. Calligraphy art is the favorite of art lovers, collectors and home decorators all over the world, and calligraphy is also a shortcut for artists to make money. Professionals engaged in the commercial operation of calligraphy and painting in China have an average annual income of at least 654.38+10,000 yuan. After signing a contract with a professional gallery, the average annual income is several hundred thousand yuan.

At the beginning of the curriculum reform of basic education in 2000, the Ministry of Education made it clear in the curriculum standards that brush strokes would be offered from the third grade of primary school. But at present, only a few provinces in China, such as Beijing, Shandong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Guangzhou, can basically offer calligraphy classes as required, and other provinces and cities are unable to offer calligraphy classes because of the shortage of calligraphy teachers. Calligraphy teachers will be the biggest teacher gap in the education industry in the last decade.
