How to exercise your artistic cells

Satisfied answer □ Altman □ Grade 5 2009- 12-05 There are many kinds of cultured cells of art cells, and animals and plants are all made of cells. Art cell is a kind of cell, which refers to a cell that can be interested in art and show its artistic talent. Art cells exist in the cerebral cortex and are innate. However, we often hear people say, "I have no artistic cells!" " ",that you don't have the ability to make art ... in fact, everyone has artistic cells. For example, our thinking, perception, memory, vision, hearing, feeling and taste cells are all artistic cells. Because we never leave them when we are creating art or appreciating art, in life, we write down what we see in an artistic way, that is, writing; Painting what you see in an artistic way is art; Writing what you see into Chinese characters by artistic means is calligraphy. How do artistic cells develop? The function of artistic cells is latent and simple at first. After continuous learning and stimulation the day after tomorrow, artistic cells continue to divide, multiply, enrich, improve and develop. Art cells have one characteristic: most of them are stimulated by interest. For example, some children love to write and draw; Some children love to tear down this and that; Some children like to jump and so on. These are all benefits. After discovering children's interests, giving correct encouragement, guidance and key training, artistic cells have made great progress. If you are not good at discovering, guiding, cultivating and learning correctly, artistic cells will not be stimulated and will not be able to divide and proliferate. After a long time, it may shrink or even degenerate. As Buddhism says, there are causes (seeds, factors, internal factors) and fate (sunshine, soil, moisture, fertilizer, air, etc. ), and then the fruit (fruit, achievement). For example, if seedlings are not nourished by air, sunlight, soil, water and fertilizer, they will wither or even become extinct. The cultivation of artistic cells should start from an early age. If we haven't learned piano and calligraphy since childhood, it will be much more difficult to learn when we grow up. Calligraphy is the art of thought plus technology, and technology needs the support of time. A philosopher once said, "the amount of wisdom is limited by life." Time is very important to a person. Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate from an early age, on the one hand, to ensure the effective use of time, on the other hand, childhood is the best time to learn knowledge and master skills. " A blank sheet of paper is very suitable for writing the latest and most beautiful pictures. "Practice has proved that learning art is still from an early age, and world-class art masters such as Shu Sheng Wang Xizhi; Painting Saint Wu Daozi and so on, there is no one who is not from primary school art. Artistic cells are the foundation of all arts. There are many kinds of art, which are manifested in various aspects, such as language: recitation, singing and broadcasting; Performances include: dance, film and television; Characters include: writing, calligraphy and so on. It can be said that anything in the world that can bring people a sense of beauty and can be expressed in the form of beauty can be called art, and these are the expressions of so-called artistic cells. Art is the expression form of artistic cells, and artistic cells are the essence of art. To improve artistic accomplishment, we should start with excavating, discovering and cultivating artistic cells. There are many ways to cultivate artistic cells, including: first, from physiology, life, society and nature; Second, cultivate from the professional and technical aspects. First, cultivate from physiology, life, society and nature. We should learn to observe, think, refine, summarize and apply from physiology, life, society and nature. We should know that everything in the world has its rationality, and don't deny its advantages and disadvantages easily. We should look at everything with appreciation and broaden our horizons. 1. Physiological art cell culture: Physiological art cells are related to the organism itself. We know that cells are the most basic units of organisms, and there are many kinds of cells, which can be roughly divided into two types: animal cells and plant cells. In these two types, because of the different types and functions of cells, their functions are also different. For example, different animal cells can breed different animals; Different plant cells can produce different plants. Both animals and plants have their own cells, and each has its own function. To put it simply: eyes can see through visual cells; Mouth can taste through taste cells, and ears can hear through hearing cells. In addition, there are sensory cells and tactile cells, which are the most basic physiological cells and the most basic artistic cells. It is these auditory, visual and tactile cells that provide the most basic conditions for artistic creation. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly strengthen exercise from various aspects, improve the sensitivity of physiological and artistic cells, and thus improve artistic accomplishment. For example, training eyes is to cultivate keen observation ability; In order to cultivate flexible expression ability; Training ears is to cultivate the ability to judge and filter information. Learning calligraphy is a good exercise method. Calligraphy relies on the coordinated movements of eyes, hands and whole body. A keen observation can reveal the artistic features of characters, such as structure, characteristics, contrast and changes, and to express these features well depends on the cooperation of skillful brushwork and movements. Therefore, generally speaking, people with good vision, feeling and coordination skills will improve their calligraphy level quickly; In the same way, people who accept calligraphy will soon be able to better develop and use their vision, feeling and coordination skills. 2. Cultivation of life art cells: Life art cells are an ability that people explore, discover, invent and refine in long-term life practice, store them in the brain art cell bank, and then apply them to art works ... The sources of life art cells are very extensive. As long as we observe carefully, life is full of art, for example, a peasant woman has to "crack" when making shoes. Masons should "leave stubble" when building houses and building walls; It is an art in the practice of life to argue and "give way". Whether art can be found in these life practices and applied to works of art well depends on whether the cells of life art are developed. When we comment on calligraphy works, we should first look at whether the works are coherent. How to breathe? What is the standard? Breathing like running water, smooth lines, known to * *. But gas infiltration cannot be achieved by this alone. The breathability of the work is not only up and down, but also left and right. Breathe up and down, not left or right. From this point of view, gas penetration is a whole, how can we achieve gas penetration as a whole? We can explain it by the phenomena in our life. Such as "stubble pressing" when masons build walls; When a peasant woman makes "cracks" in the soles and pots, she must do so. First, they are strong. Second, they are beautiful. We graft this method into calligraphy works, and the whole calligraphy works will naturally be smooth, beautiful and cohesive. Therefore, we should strengthen the cultivation of living artistic cells, constantly enrich and express our art, and make our art more perfect. 3. Cultivation of social art cells: read thousands of books and take Wan Li Road. We should constantly sum up experience from all aspects of society, which is the material of artistic cells. Refine, process and store these materials in time, and then apply them to art reasonably. Each of us is a member of society, and we can't live without it all the time. The daily changes of society are affecting us, our work and study. Laws, regulations and disciplines to be observed; Advocating harmonious civilization; It provides us with an inexhaustible source. To this end, our calligraphy should also stress harmony, which is the cornerstone of development. Without harmony, everything will be lost. Rules and regulations are the yardstick of progress. Wang Xizhi's calligraphy takes harmony as the core and advocates two kings, namely harmony. This is the rules and regulations that calligraphy must abide by, and it is also the right way for the development of calligraphy. Harmony and confrontation are opposites, regardless of size; No matter strong or weak, the principle of harmony is peaceful coexistence. As far as size is concerned, we know that size is the core of natural contrast. For example, if our family has children, there will be hope for the future of the family. Similarly, if the art of calligraphy is large or small, it will show the opportunity of birth, and there will be no "operator" phenomenon. Therefore, size is also very important in calligraphy art, and it is a symbol of harmony, contrast, affection and hope. Remember, size is only a comparison here, not a confrontation. This is the principle of harmony. 4. Cultivation of natural artistic cells: artistic cells obtained through nature. Such as watching the sun, the moon and the stars; Wind, rain and lightning; Mountains and rivers; Spring, summer, autumn and winter; The grass is dense and lush; Birds can fly and fish can fly. From macro to micro, it is the source of artistic cells. In the process of climbing the mountain, we can see the vegetation all over the mountain, not afraid of cold and heat, not afraid of wind and rain, and live stubbornly. This spirit can inspire us to keep learning and struggling. But don't be negative, and don't just see the negative side. For example, when we eat with a rotten bowl, don't point your mouth at the gap in the bowl, because that will cut your mouth, and we will naturally choose the good side to eat. This is the "gap avoidance" theory. Everything has its advantages, and no one can cover everything. As a person, we should be more aware of these truths. Choose only the right ones and discard the wrong ones. Take the good side and keep learning and accumulating, so that culture will continue to improve and self-cultivation will continue to grow. Don't be proud if you have some capital! In nature, you can find that although stones are small, they live longer than people; Although the tree is small, it is taller than people. Therefore, we should always keep a positive side, have the spirit of "knocking out the residual leaves", be positive, optimistic and enterprising. And put these into our works of art, so that works of art can be sublimated. Therefore, we can appreciate Yan Zhenqing's broad mind from his works, which shows the broad and generous spirit of the Chinese nation and sets an example for us. Therefore, the ancients put forward the theory that you must learn "Yan" when learning books. Second, the cultivation of professional skills should be carried out from two aspects: first, the cultivation of professional skills; The second is the cultivation of professional theory. 1, professional technical training: skills training is the mainstay. Some people say, "No artistic cells! "To a large extent, it is not without artistic cells, but without skills in this area. We know that without skills, what's the use of more artistic cells? As the saying goes, "porcelain can't be made without steel drill", so skill is the golden key of all arts. The production of technology is a skill formed through long-term rigorous training. Just like walking, you don't have to think about taking your left leg or your right leg first. Everything comes from conditioned reflex and forms habitual action. In calligraphy, the action of the brush is fast and slow; Whether it is light or heavy, it is also driven by feelings and nature, and there must be no deliberate thoughts. 2. Cultivation of professional theory: What is theory? Theory is a weather vane and a lighthouse. Theoretical training is to know the truth of the matter and the causal relationship of the matter. The improvement of theory is mainly the improvement of cultural level. What is culture? Culture is all-sided, so we should broaden our horizons and study in a three-dimensional and comprehensive way. Everything that can be heard, seen and felt in the world can be used as the source of artistic cells, absorbed and stored in the brain, and then through thinking, we can find out the laws and methods of expression between arts, and then apply them to art, such as strokes, structure and composition of calligraphy. Why do you write like this? Why do you write like this? What are these basic principles? What is the idea to express? We have to find out. Only in this way can we grasp the direction and not lose it. In fact, making art is as simple as making a jar. First of all, I learned to make pots, mastered the basic skills of making pots, and learned to inherit. After eating the jar, think about what to put in it. Put your own things, not others'. Putting on your own things is equivalent to putting on your own ideas and putting on innovation. In addition, we must learn to appreciate and learn from it. We should improve in appreciation and sublimate in reference. It is necessary to find out the similarities (* * *) and differences (personalities) of different arts. If you throw a stone into the water, when a small stream of water is injected, a circle of regular waterline will appear. These waterlines get bigger outward and smaller inward. For another example, we know that the earth revolves around the sun, which is hot when it is close to the sun and cold when it is far away from the sun, so there are four seasons. This shows a truth, everything has a "Tao", which is a law and must be strictly observed. In the "Tao" of art, inheritance is the key and the core of the "Tao" of art, which must be adhered to; Innovation is life, the "Tao" of artistic development, and it needs to be moved and changed. The Tao of the whole art is expressed by a formula: inheritance+innovation = development. Inheritance and innovation in this art, inheritance belongs to the inside, innovation belongs to the outside, they are a whole. In this whole, "rules" are observed tangibly and invisibly. What are the "rules"? Provisions: it is round, it is Tao, it is external, it is development; Moment: it is square, rational, internal and persistent. As the saying goes, "Fiona Fang can't be made without rules." Fiona Fang is the standard for two purposes. Inner, outer, square and round are principles and are adhered to; The circle is round and moving. For example, like ancient wheels, the outer ring is round and the inner ring is square. The outer ring can roll; The axle can be fixed on the inside, and then the whole Fiona Fang can roll forward with a hard pull. In fact, the development of everything will eventually form a circle. But in the process of development, as the Heart Sutra said: "Color is empty, and emptiness is color; Color is not easy to be empty, color is not easy to be empty. " They are transformed into each other for the simple reason that they are a circle. If the structure of calligraphy is compared to a circle, the structure will roll, and there will be no distinction between up and down and left and right. In other words, up and down can be changed to left and right, and left and right can also be changed to up and down; Width can become length, and length can also become width. So you are neck and neck in the process of sports, which means you can't find anything in space. Only at rest can it be divided into up, down, left and right. Just as water can't be seen clearly when it is stirred, it can only be seen clearly when it is quiet. Calligraphy is cultivation, and calligraphy is education. By learning calligraphy, you can cultivate your self-cultivation and reach a high level. Calligraphy also has the characteristics of tolerance. For example, Buddhist calligraphy, using calligraphy techniques and Buddhist ideas, expands the connotation of calligraphy and shows the Buddhist culture. Call it Zen calligraphy. For example, we can understand the Buddhist thought of "emptiness, purity, purity, enlightenment and tranquility" from the Diamond Sutra carved on Mount Tai on the cliff, and the font shows "emptiness" and "breadth"; "unification" and "coordination"; "purity" and "connotation"; "Wisdom" and "inspiration"; "Quiet" and "deep". Bring calligraphy to another level. To reach a certain height in Buddhism, there is a saying that "Buddha can't speak", which can't be said but can be realized; Calligraphy has reached a certain height, and there are also "books can't be said", but you can understand if you can't say them. There is also "everyone is a Buddha" in Buddhism, which says that everyone has a good side; In calligraphy, there is also a saying that everyone wants to write a good hand. As the saying goes, "Interlacing is like a mountain". Yes, the skill of calligraphy is different from that of singing in Beijing opera. However, "interlacing is like a mountain", and the calligraphy technology and the singing of Beijing opera are interlinked. Calligraphy skills are practiced; Beijing opera singing is also practiced; Calligraphy technology is to express thoughts and life; Singing in Beijing Opera is also an expression of thoughts and life. This is two different pots of art, one pot is filled with opera, which is the art of opera; The other is calligraphy, which is the art of calligraphy. As we all know, art originates from life. The key is to learn to treat life as art and art as life. Life and art are the palms and the backs of your hands. They are two sides that can never be separated. When these two aspects need to be displayed, we should learn to change, learn to discover art, feel art, create art and enjoy art from life; Learn to express life, express thoughts and promote righteousness from art; Enriching life, developing art and cultivating artistic cells are endless. The brain is like a container. You put something in it, and it works. As the saying goes: "What trees to plant, what flowers to bloom; What seeds are sown and what fruits are harvested. " If you want to put something into a container, the only way is to study. Therefore, artistic cells are acquired and accumulated through learning. In the process of learning calligraphy, even calligraphers can't write well without learning seal script, because the brain lacks complete seal script information. There are about 654.38+04 billion nerve cells in human cerebral cortex, and there are more than 654.38+00 billion glial cells around these nerve cells, covering an area of about 2200 square centimeters. If the cortex is peeled off and completely flattened, the gray matter layer formed is as big as four A4 printing papers. Four times that of chimpanzees; Eight times that of monkeys. All these provide inexhaustible development space for art, so we should strengthen our study and master all aspects of knowledge and skills from book middle schools, social middle schools and natural middle schools to achieve mastery. At the same time, we should learn the skills of grafting, transformation and bridging, organically combine the knowledge and skills we have learned, and constantly apply them to enhance and develop the vitality of artistic cells.
