-Detailed construction method, main assumptions:
Root carving works are works of art for people to visit or use. Once cracked or eaten by insects, it will affect its visit price and use price. Therefore, it is very important to deal with the punishment of preventing root cracks and insects.
Punishment for crack prevention; Natural drying method, cooking method, drying method and soaking method. Add appropriate bleaching powder and bhc powder. Insects and bacteria can be killed in the crack-proof cooking process. Works made of anti-cracking, anti-insect and anti-mildew materials usually do not appear dry cracking, deformation, moth-eaten, rot and discoloration. Dry peeling: soak the roots in water for several hours to soften the epidermis, and then peel them with the above tools, which is time-saving and hard. Many artists have their own skinning methods. As long as the wood is not damaged or damaged less, the builder does not need to stick to the above methods. I don't want to peel off or keep a part of the epidermis occasionally according to the importance of creation, so I can control it. The main assumption of decay removal is to remove part of the decay that hides evil and accommodates evil. The goal is to remove dirt and hidden insects and bacteria from the root and increase the cleanliness and aesthetics of the material.
The creation of root art is a laborious work, which takes a year and a half or even less from material selection, modeling, conception, creation to naming. Material selection is the first step of root carving. Root carving materials must be hard, delicate, tough, not easy to crack and deform, immortal and long-lasting tree species, such as boxwood, sandalwood, beech, cypress, elm and other excellent materials with root art modeling. Dead roots swallowed by water and silt or buried deep in the soil, after hundreds of years of carbonization, become stale and gloomy root wood, whose quality is almost close to that of fossils, and it is a good material for root art, with ingenious carving.
The criterion of root wood modeling can be summarized as "rare, strange, ancient and strange", which is very rare in nature. Roots, which usually grow in plains or mountains with thick soil layers, are rich in water and nutrients, grow fast and have loose wood fibers, so it is difficult to form strange shapes. As long as the roots grow under vulgar conditions, such as those growing on the back of the sun or in the crevices of cliffs, the roots that persist in survival and livelihood after lightning strike, fire, ant erosion, rock pressure, human stepping and knife cutting are not long, and they are slowly deformed due to lack of light. The longer they are, the stronger their quality is, and the more striking their shapes are. The conception of root art creation must focus on protecting the natural form to the maximum extent, overflowing the beauty of nature and rewarding everything in art. In terms of conception, roots should be investigated unilaterally from multiple angles, speculated repeatedly, and shaped according to shape and potential. If the idea is not naive, it is difficult to root out for a while, you can put it on hold for a while, and there will often be unexpected sowing about a year in advance. Root carving can usually be divided into eight steps: degreasing punishment, peeling and cleaning, dehydration and drying, blank making, trimming, rough grinding, fine grinding, coloring and painting, and naming.
Root carving art is an independent art category in China's rich and colorful culture and art, with distinctive artistic style. It creates a charming artistic atmosphere with a grand style, which combines the beauty of nature and the beauty of shaping. It uses nature skillfully and skillfully in its creation, and creates a fantastic artistic situation with various expressions and techniques. It is an art that originates from nature and is higher than nature, and it is a perfect connection between human wisdom and nature.
Generally speaking, the art of root carving is mainly manifested in root carving, root carving modeling, root carving calligraphy, root carving stickers and so on. And it is really divided into two parts: root art and root carving. There are similarities and obvious differences. The * * * nature of root art is natural modeling, highlighting "natural beauty". The famous teacher of art history wrote ten sentences for Genyi: "Natural modeling has a long history, which is not stronger than ordinary roots, full of different light, shaping creation and cannot be changed." Only those who know can call it heavy and make it a treasure forever. " Teacher Yi Tu, a master of China root art, summed up the characteristics of root art in five words: truth, strangeness, antiquity, strangeness and peculiarity. All these show the importance of root carving materials to the art of root carving. Without good natural root carving materials, you can never create a good root carving art work. It is very difficult to explore the root of ambition. Every hundred trees don't meet, and it's rare to have a thousand. One in hand, looking at a thousand things, looking at it repeatedly, should care about nature, don't destroy it, carefully cut it according to the situation, drill artistic conception in similarity and dissimilarity, and find realism in roots, scars and tumors. "The treasure of root art lies in nature, the harmony between man and nature, and the combination of spirit and form", which is the basic positioning of the price of root art. Root carving is different from that in Yu Genyi. There are three main types of root carving: one is to carve the root material with shortcomings in natural modeling to make up for its shortcomings, and still focus on conquering the nature of the root material, but only small carving; Second, it is a big change. Root material lacks head and feet. If it is too thick, it can be thinned, if it is too big, it can be reduced, and it cannot be shaped. Third, the root material should be carved calmly, only a leading figure should be carved, and there must be a Kun season. The rest of the scars will not move, and the sky is short of internal compensation, and people are short of internal compensation. With superb creative ability, natural beauty and inner beauty are linked together, which set each other off and shine brilliantly, winning people's hobbies and giving people beautiful enjoyment.
The proposition of root carving art is very important. It is a material and ideological activity in the creation of root art, a part of the formation of artists' artistic conception, a link between the expression and material connotation of artistic works, and a bridge of emotional communication between creators and tourists. Proposition, beauty head and beauty connotation are interdependent and complementary. Extraordinary proposition is icing on the cake. On the contrary, the proposition that patterns are not suitable or matched will not expose the pernicious influence on the works, but will encourage tourists' rejection.
