Study on the Application of Intelligent Calligraphy Teaching in the Context of Digital Media

Abstract

At the National Educational Work Conference 2020, the Ministry of Education proposed that aesthetic education be incorporated into the supervisory evaluation and assessment system, from a “soft task” to a “hard indicator”. This study is the design of a Chinese calligraphy brush that provides timely feedback to the teacher on students’ practice by monitoring their grip posture and ink usage in real time by the smart sensor, thus reducing the difficulty in calligraphy teaching. This study conducts data analysis and research on calligraphy teachers’ experience and degree of satisfaction through methods such as survey, questionnaire,, uses the empathy map in service design method to dig into user demand, and make user service map. On that basis, this study optimizes the design of the calligraphy teaching methodology, comes up with the final design and blueprint, effectively tackle the difficulty of step-by-step presentations in the calligraphy teaching process by combining digital media technology and product design. In this study, students are the basic users. The smart brush is equipped with nine-axis sensors, pressure sensors, and humidity sensors to monitor students’ practice in real time. Furthermore, the backend effectively integrates students’ error-prone points in their practice, feeds back to the teacher in order to make corrections in a timely manner, and assists students in refining and deepening their learning of the art of calligraphy.

This study provides new ideas and methods for modern calligraphy teaching by combining modern technology and calligraphy teaching. Compared to traditional calligraphy teaching, that in the context of digital media has the advantages of high efficiency, ease of use, high degree of mutual help, and strong expansion. The accurate teaching assisted by data algorithms can thoroughly collect and analyze students’ easy and difficult points in calligraphy practice, summarize and feed back to the teacher to improve the efficiency of calligraphy teaching in class and facilitate learning effect on both the aesthetic of calligraphy art and the learning of writing techniques, which is also of positive significance to modern calligraphy learning. Facilitate learning effect on both the aesthetic of calligraphy art and the learning of writing techniques, which is also of positive significance to modern calligraphy learning.
