How to appreciate Chinese prints? How to appreciate Chinese paintings

You can see if the prints make use of the true color of the object as much as possible, showing the woody flavor. Clever use of the method of leaving **, the shape of the depiction is specially treated, and the unique artistic effect of printmaking is obtained. Through clever composition, the theme is set off in different styles such as fullness, density, and lightness.

Ancient Chinese printmaking has its own development trajectory in the long history and has formed a unique artistic style.

The principle of "four looks": one look at the rhyme; Second, look at the artistic conception; Third, look at the pen and ink; Fourth, look at the combination of poems, calligraphy and paintings. In the final analysis, according to my personal experience, appreciating Chinese painting is just three words: "see, swim, and understand".

You can appreciate it from its character lines or the overall artistic conception, or you can discover some beautiful things through its drawing background and the author's experience.

Chinese painting, itself is more inclined to landscape painting, ink painting, and foreign painting methods are different, foreign painting styles are more focused on character building, they are more inclined to use sketches to show, while Chinese painting is more atmospheric.

This needs to be viewed from a variety of aspects, such as the charm of Chinese painting, the brush and ink of Chinese printmaking, and the composition and form of painting, so as to appreciate a Chinese print.

There are a lot of Chinese elements that many Western paintings do not have, and they cannot be imitated, and I think this is the wealth left by the ancient Chinese, and we should cherish it.

The Chinese word feels like it has a unique charm, it seems to depict some things in life, even the scenery is vivid, and this is where China's technology lies.

First look at the overall momentum, experience the charm, then look at its pen and ink taste, painting composition, coloring, pen power and lines, and finally look at its overall shape.

It's very beautiful, very Chinese, I feel that living in China is a very happy thing, China has a history of 5,000 years of civilization, which makes me feel very happy.

It is considered a kind of cultural heritage, and then it has a certain cultural connotation, and it is also very admirable to see it, but now there are fewer and fewer people who appreciate it, and there are fewer and fewer inheritors.

Chinese painting doesn't have a blank space.

The first step is to look at Qi Yun and you will ask, what is Qi Yun? The word sounds mysterious! The ancients said that "qiyun" is the sum of "spirit" and "charm".

This is still very mysterious! The Chinese's description of "qiyun" can only be understood, not spoken, but in fact, I think qiyun is your overall "feeling" of the painting. If a painting is placed in front of you, and you feel that it makes you comfortable, that it is interesting, or that it is vivid, then the painting is successful, and it has a charm.

The second step is to look at the brush and ink in Chinese painting, which are mainly divided into three aspects: line, ink and color, and we will also classify them.

1) Lines: Chinese painting is dominated by lines, so the first thing we need to look at when we look at the brush and ink in the painting is the lines. The third step is to look at the chapter method, and Chinese painting is very particular about the chapter method. The so-called chapter method is the rule of the structure and layout of painting.

There are many rules and regulations in Chinese painting, and different schools of Chinese painting also have different rules. Here I will take flower and bird painting as an example to tell you about two basic concepts.

The fourth step is to look at the inscription and seal inscription on the painting, as a Chinese painting, the inscription or seal is indispensable, without these, then the painting is incomplete. There are also many details of inscriptions and seals in Chinese paintings, and there is no way to describe them in detail in this short story. However, the role of inscription seals in Chinese painting is not just to record the artist's mood, thoughts, time, place, creative motivation, and so on.

Here's how to appreciate Chinese paintings:

1. To appreciate the works, you should look at the charm.

Vividness is the overall requirement of the work, and it is the highest state that art should achieve. It is also the main criterion for appreciating and appreciating Chinese paintings.

Qi Yun, in traditional Chinese painting, refers to the sum of spirit and charm. Shi Tao said, "Writing and painting, no matter how old you learn, the first to win with qi is brilliant, and it is out of the paper." It is necessary to be imposing and heroic, not ingenious or tacky.

Yang Weizhen of the Yuan Dynasty pointed out: "Therefore, those who are superior to painting have the form and the spirit. The expressive is also vivid.

The sky is dyed with ink, and there are not many mountains and rocks, but the weather is majestic.

In short, vividness is a kind of overall induction of painting, a kind of spiritual dialysis, and a kind of comprehension of the state of life. Good works are always born with charm, and the masterpieces that have been handed down in history have the characteristics of vivid charm.

2. To appreciate the work, you need to look at the pen and ink.

Among the six laws", Sheikh listed "bone method with a pen" in second place. In Chinese painting, the "bone method" refers to the method of using lines as skeletons for modeling. It incorporates the rules and aesthetic principles of the use of the pen in Chinese calligraphy, reflecting the strength, texture and beauty of the lines.

Through different lines to reflect the dynamics, direction, rhythm and rhythm of the brush and ink, with the purpose of writing spirit, writing, writing heart and freehand. Therefore, freehand is the spiritual essence of Chinese painting.

3. Appreciating works depends on composition and form.

The composition of Chinese painting comes in many forms, and there are also many references, and it is customary to call them "chapter" and "layout". The author organizes and arranges the content and form to form an overall picture that embodies personality, presents momentum, and is harmonious and unified. The law of composition has its own laws, and the most important law is the unity of opposites in dialectics.

The composition is life, vision, cultivation, and style.

The art of printmaking is so close to life that it is not difficult to carry out printmaking teaching in preschool art teaching. The expansion of the language of printmaking art is even very suitable for the teaching of art in young children. The following is the print** I share with you, let's take a look!

After the above, let's learn about printmaking!

Difference Between Printmaking and Oil PaintingThe nature of the production of New Year's pictures, seals, etc. is the basic nature of printmaking... Printmaking is mainly through engraving, corrosion, photosensitive and other chemical or physical properties, carved or etched on wood, stone, hemp glue, copper, zinc and other layouts to form a figurative image... Oil painting: It is a kind of painting made on canvas linen, cardboard or wood board with quick-drying vegetable oil, linseed oil, oil, walnut oil and other pigments. The thinners used in painting are volatile turpentine and dry flaxseed oil.

The pigment attached to the picture has a strong hardness, and when the picture dries, it can maintain its luster for a long time. With the hiding power and transparency of the pigment, the depicted object is fully expressed, with rich colors and strong three-dimensional texture. Oil painting is one of the main types of Western painting.

The main difference: printmaking requires a production process, while oil painting can be painted directly by Wang Youmu... Printmaking: Plural, in short, printmaking is a painting that is "printed".

There are many differences between Chinese painting, oil painting and printmaking, first of all, the material is different, oil painting is generally painted with turpentine toning oil, oil painting pigments, painted on cotton and linen, linen, cotton and other canvases, and can also be painted on wood boards and oil painting paper, Chinese painting generally uses Chinese painting pigments, and there are also people who use gouache, watercolor, acrylic, gold and silver powder and other auxiliary paintings, and paint more on the materials of Chinese paintings such as raw Xuan, cooked rice paper or silk silk, etc., prints are divided into paper prints, woodblock prints, copper engravings, etc., you need to use a carving knife and other tools to carve the template. Or design it on cardboard, and make effects such as texture or layering, and then print it on paper or other materials with corresponding pigments or inks. Although Chinese painting, oil painting, and printmaking are all art categories, due to different materials, pigments, media, and forms of expression, the desired effect and final style will be very different.

Printmaking is one of the plastic arts. A type of painting that the author prints by hand on a layout of various different materials; There are restrictions on the possibility of reproducing multiple copies of the original work that does not affect its artistic value. Since the 18th century, there have been creative prints that artists have drawn their own drafts, made their own plates, and printed their own.

Printmaking, as a plastic art, refers to the creation of prints. Due to the difference in the ink-receiving part of the plate, the nature of the plate and the plate-making and printing method, it is mainly divided into the following varieties.

1.Monolithic print.

A form of printmaking in which a smooth layout is painted or brushed without plate making, and then rubbed into a finished product.

2.Rubbings. Direct rubbing is a form of printmaking on paper covered with a letterpress layout. Such as stone carving rubbing, brick carving rubbing, etc.

3.Letterpress print.

The ink is on the convex part of the plate, which is represented by woodblock prints. Among them, those printed with oil-soluble ink are called "mimeographed woodcuts" or "woodcuts"; Those printed with water-soluble ink are called "watermark prints" or "watermark woodcuts". In addition, there are various letterpress prints made of hemp glue, gypsum, stones, bricks, etc., which are still made by woodblock plate making and printing methods.

4.Intaglio prints.

The ink is on the concave part of the plate, which represents the copper engraving. Among them, due to the different plate-making methods, it can be divided into "line engraving copper engraving", "dry engraving copper engraving", "net line copper engraving" and "corroded copper engraving". In addition, there are various intaglio prints made of zinc plates or other metal plates and still made by copper engraving plates and printing methods.

5.Lithography prints.

The ink is on the surface of the plate, which is represented by lithographs. Due to the different methods of engraving, it can be divided into "direct lithograph" and "transcribed lithograph". In addition, lithographic prints are made by using aluminum plates, zinc plates, etc. as plates, and still using lithographs to make plates and printing methods.

6.Hole type prints.

Also known as "leaky plate", the ink color leaks to the bearing surface of the finished product through the plate with holes, which is represented by the screen leakage print. In addition, there are hole plate prints with nylon mesh, capron mesh, metal mesh and other mesh materials as the plate by the screen leakage printing method.

7.Glass prints.

After the plate is made on glass, it is combined with photographic technology to become a form of printmaking in the finished product.
