It refers to the use of various plastic materials, such as gypsum, resin, clay, etc., or carved and carved hard materials (such as wood, stone, metal, jade, agate, etc.) to create a visual and tactile artistic image with a certain space, so as to reflect social life and express the artist's aesthetic feelings, aesthetic emotions, and aesthetic ideals.

Carving and engraving achieve the purpose of artistic creation by reducing the carvable material materials, and plastic by piling up the plastic material materials.

There are many carving techniques, and it is the general name of the three creative methods of carving, carving and plastic.

According to the carrier used, it can be divided into: ivory carving, jade carving, wood carving, stone carving, clay carving, face carving, bamboo carving, bone carving, carved inkstone, food carving, etc.;

According to the classification of techniques, there are carving (traditional concept), sculpture and micro carving.

Dutchman. The cutting edge is triangular in shape because its front is on the left and right sides, and the sharp set point is on the middle corner. It is mainly used to engrave hair and engrave decorative lines, and it is also a tool commonly used in printmaking and watermark woodcut art plate making.

The function of the sharp knife is basically to highlight the layering of the work, such as the distinction between clothes and meat!

In addition, a sharp knife is also required to open the face of the character.

Engraving knives, wire drawing knives, poke knives, etc.

There are many types of carving, common wood carving, stone carving, bronze carving, glass fiber reinforced plastic sculpture is more, different types of carving, the carving tools used are not the same. As far as the carving tools used by Hui'an stone carving manufacturers are concerned, due to the different carving processes, the carving tools are also different: such as cutting stones to cut machinery, stone drilling also has corresponding equipment, hand carving chisels, hand polishing, etc., all kinds of knives, drills, chisels, hammers, etc.

Tools: knives (carving knives), chisels, round chisels, awls (cones), flat axes, and hammers.

1.Knife (carving knife):

It is basically divided into two categories. One is the "Weng tube-shaped" blank knife, commonly known as "cutting the great wilderness" and "rough knife", and the other is the "drill strip-shaped" trimming knife, which is mainly used for digging fine billets and trimming.

2.Chisel: Engravers use chisels to chisel stones, wood, metal, or other materials, while printmakers use chisels to make woodcut plates.

3.Round chisel: refers to a chisel with a sharp blade made into a curved shape, which is used for wood carving.

4.Awl: It is mainly divided into two categories, one is a cone, which is the most commonly used, and the other is a cone-like but ground out of four edges, which is mainly used for drilling holes, and can also be used to draw lines on metal.

5.Axes: The purpose of axes is to cut a large amount of wood in conjunction with the billet.

6.Hammer: The shape of the wood carving hammer is flat, flat, wide and square. There are two types of hammers: wooden and iron, and wooden hammers are generally made of hardwoods with a large proportion of wood, such as mahogany, boxwood, sandalwood, beech and fruit trees.

Engraving kind comes.

A lot, I don't know what you want to carve, the source is like jade carving

Ivory carving, stone carving, wood carving, nuclear carving, bone carving, glass carving, Shoushan stone carving, Qingtian stone carving, etc., the tools used in each carving are different. Generally speaking, the tools used for engraving are carving knives, saws, files, chisels, drills, grinding heads, milling cutters, grinding wheels, sandpaper, emery sheets, clamping machines, etc., and the size and shape of each tool are different, and many tools are chosen by the carvers themselves.

1. Woodcarving knife.

Only bevel knives, flat knives and semi-circular knives are required. Carved with a woodcut knife.

If you carve, you must choose a softer wood, such as basswood, camphor wood, etc. Genus.

2. Auxiliary tools.

Auxiliary tools include axes (used for wood blanks and molding), saws (used to cut raw materials, wire saws are recommended), hammers (generally used to assist woodcutters), and files (used for rough grinding in early blanks and carving).

3. Workbench and wire saw machine.

The workbench is generally used to fix the wood for easy processing, and novices can buy a small one, or buy a vice to clip on the table. The wire sawing machine** is higher and can be functionally replaced by the auxiliary tools in Article 2.

4. Electric grinding machine.

The electric grinder is an electric version of the woodcutter, which is more efficient and easier to process, and is mainly used for the processing of hardwood.

5. Polishing block (can be replaced by sandpaper), beeswax (or essential oil), glue.

Polishing blocks or sandpaper are used for polishing and grinding the finished wood carvings that have already been made. Beeswax is used to make the surface of wood carvings smoother and shinier, and to prevent cracking. Glue is used to splice and carve separately objects, or to repair damaged ornaments (with the same kind of wood powder as the raw material of the ornaments).

1. Flat knife: The cutting edge is straight, which is mainly used to smooth the concave and convex surface of the wood to make it smooth and traceless. The large model is used to chisel large wood carvings, which have a sense of block surface, and are used properly, such as the brushstroke effect of painting, which is strong and powerful, vivid and natural.

The sharp angle of the flat knife has a strong woody knife flavor. 2. Round knife: The cutting edge is arc-shaped, mostly used for circles and round indentations, and is also very useful in carving traditional flowers.

The transverse knife of the round knife is more labor-saving, and it can adapt to large fluctuations and small changes. Moreover, the lines of the round knife are uncertain, so it is flexible and easy to explore. 3. Oblique knife:

The cutting edge is at an angle of about 45 degrees, which is mainly used for the corner of the joint and the hollow slit of the work. If you engrave the corner of the character's eye, the oblique knife is better to use. The oblique knife is divided into forehand oblique and backhand oblique to suit all directions.

4. Zhonggang knife: the cutting edge is triangular, because its front is on the left and right sides, and the sharp collection point is on the middle angle, so the heavier the pressure is used, the thicker the line carved by the triangular knife, and the other way around. The triangular knife is mainly used to engrave hair, engrave decorative lines, the triangular knife tip is advanced in the woodblock during operation, the sawdust is spit out from the triangular groove, and the triangular knife tip pushes through the part to depict the line.

The auxiliary tools of wood carving mainly include hammers, axes, saws, and wooden files. The purpose of the axe is to cooperate with the billet, a large number of wood, pay attention to the cutting should not be too strong, not straight up and straight down, the axe blade should be kept with the vertical wood grain about 45 degrees, otherwise, the wood will crack. The use of wooden file is mainly in the fine billet stage of round carving, which can replace the flat knife to smooth the knife mark file for repair, and can also replace the round knife or oblique knife for hollowing treatment.

Stone carving processing tools require tools such as chisels, hammers, and drills.

1. Hand-carved products. That is, the products carved and chiseled with hand tools such as chisels, hammers, and drills.

2. Semi-mechanized processing of carvings. That is, stone carvings that are partly handmade and partly mechanized.

3. Fully automatic CNC machining carvings.

4. Sandblasting carvings. Use a sandblasting engraving machine to engrave. The sandblasting engraving machine is to use an air machine (air pressure 5-6kg square meters) and emery jetting to engrave at the engraving place of the product.

5. Chemical corrosion carvings. That is, the chemical reaction between the chemical corrosion liquid and the stone is used to achieve the carving of the stone. There are two types: embossed (relief) and intaglio.

A long history, exquisite skills of various sculpture crafts, such as ivory carving, jade carving, wood carving, stone carving, clay carving, face carving, bamboo carving, bone carving, carved inkstone, etc., is a precious artistic heritage in Chinese arts and crafts. Ivory carving, jade carving and other crafts because of the expensive materials, workmanship and very fine, so gradually from practical goods to appreciation, so people called "special crafts", before liberation, it is only a plaything in the hands of the exploiting class. Wood carving, stone carving, clay carving, face sculpture and other crafts are mostly spread among the people, with a strong local atmosphere.

The so-called technique is the author's treatment of image and space in the creation of wood carving. This technique is mainly embodied in the carving and engraving in the sense of reduction. To be precise, it is to excavate and reveal the form step by step by subtracting waste materials from the outside to the inside.

In the subtractive modeling again and again, we not only experience the surprise of the work "coming out of the shell", but also feel the special charm produced by various knife techniques, and some accidental effects, which can make the work produce new rhyme. Therefore, in the creation of wood carving art, the most meaningful exploration is to use various knife techniques to properly reflect our creative intentions.

Knife technique is like the brushstrokes in calligraphy and painting, which can play a role in strengthening and enriching the artistic effect of the work. The reason why the beautiful brushstrokes are formed is the expression of the mastery of the technique. When copying a good painting, people often find it most difficult than the brushstrokes, because the brushstrokes are the product of the combination of the artist's mind and skill, and they are something that is difficult to embody in any imitation.

Therefore, only by mastering the skills and constantly accumulating experience can you achieve the ideal and truly belong to your own knife technique. The kind of wood grain and carving, smooth and rough, concave and convex surface, arranged with a round knife, cut with a flat knife ......The charm of the artistic language they express is unattainable by sculptures of other materials.

In short, the knife technique is a technical technique used by the sculptor to embody his own creative ideas, and it is also a means to vividly reveal the content of the art. The turns, setbacks, concave and convex, and ups and downs of the knife are all in order to make the work more vivid and natural, so as to fully reflect the material beauty of wood carving and reflect the rich carving beauty. People who do not know the true meaning of wood carving art, when using a knife, they do not use a knife to write, but to paint and make a contrivance, and then they are afraid of carving badly, and the result is that the knife is rigid and ingenious, and the fun of carving wood carving can not be carved.

Therefore, it is necessary to carve more, practice more, ponder more, and become familiar and perfect in order to form your own artistic language and artistic style.

The construction surface of the miniature carving is very small, and it is difficult to complete without a fairly high calligraphy foundation and the skill of skillfully using the miniature carving tools, and when carving, it is necessary to hold your breath, concentrate your thoughts, and be meticulous.
