Three basic skills of jade carving creation

Wang Diao is a famous painter, calligrapher and seal engraver in China. He believes that "painting is in the artistic conception, calligraphy is in the artistic conception, and seal cutting is in the artistic conception". The artistic conception he emphasized actually refers to the artistic emotion to be expressed in the work, the artist's inner spiritual experience and the perceptual connotation of the work. Therefore, he put forward the artistic creation idea that "calligraphy and painting seal cutting should be thoughtful, rational and emotional". In his painting and calligraphy techniques, he emphasized the three basic skills of "seal cutting of painting and calligraphy". These three art forms have great intersection, but each has its own advantages. Here is a brief introduction to these three basic skills:

1. Painting: Wang Diao believes that painting should have a mind, and mind is the foundation and soul of painting. With deep feelings, we can really draw inspiration from nature and life and have unique works. At the same time, painting should also be rational, which is processed by careful composition, tone and rhythm, and it is the artist's understanding of natural scenery.

Reprocessing process. Of course, painting techniques are also extremely important, including lines, colors, composition and inking.

2. Book: Wang Diao believes that books should also be thoughtful and rational. Calligraphy is an abstract art, which requires calligraphers to be calm, look at nature calmly and think hard, in order to write a masterpiece with real rhythm, moderation, charm and soul. In the process of writing, we also need rational thinking. Sketching the embryonic form, conceiving the composition and determining the rhythm all require strict ancient tradition requirements and the artist's own spiritual pursuit.

3. Seal cutting: When Wang Diao created seal cutting, he also took heart, reason and emotion as the three basic skills. Sculpture needs spirituality and precision, but it is difficult to achieve a perfect unity of spirituality and freedom, precision and accuracy. It often requires the tempering and practice of the art parents, as well as meticulous and exquisite skills, mental state and artistic level.

In a word, Wang Diao broke the situation that China's traditional calligraphy and painting skills come down in one continuous line, and put forward that "calligraphy and painting seal cutting" should have three basic skills: "mind, reason and emotion". Using his bold framework and the functional changes of four painting methods, such as flowers and birds, figures, landscapes and seals, the three art forms of "painting, calligraphy and printing" are organically integrated.
