Art originates from life and is the flower and crystallization of the times; Art from different eras has different artistic values. She has no unified standards or models, and any literary and artistic works that can reflect the life of the times, promote progress, and be favored by the people are good works.
Human life is like a vast sea, with colorful flowers of the times. This requires our artists and writers to go deep into life, receive education and edification, absorb essence, and summarize the connotation of life in order to describe and express good works reflecting the times.
Teaching slogans such as "dense and unobstructed, sparse but easy to walk", "pay attention to leaving blank space in the picture", "setback", "virtual and real", "even intensity", etc. are familiar language to painters. But how to be "secret"? How to "sparse"? How to "leave blank" and "fail" again? So far, there is no answer to the conclusion. It is still necessary for painters to explore and see painting in their creations... After decades of painting creation, I have realized that it is actually writing knowledge. The so-called "secret" means that the central part (central section) of the performance image should be carefully and thoroughly drawn to achieve a prominent central image; For the accompanying parts of the picture, the color should be light, sparse, "sparse" or "empty" to prevent the picture from being dominated by noise; By leaving more white space between the distant and distant layers in the picture, it is beneficial for the entire picture to connect the past and the future, unify the distant and near layers, and evoke thought-provoking associations. In order to achieve better visual effects, we need to start with the overall picture and adjust it accordingly.
The temperament, demeanor, and ideological realm of a mature person are composed of their life experience, cultural cultivation, and genetic personality. You cannot learn it day and night, nor can you pretend to be artificial. Artists cannot do without their own ideological realm and viewpoints when using words, sentences, and ink to complete their creative works. The so-called "poetry expresses aspirations" and "ink reflects human nature" are expressed. At the same time, in the process of creation, basic skills such as arranging painting materials, processing screen layout, detailing material combinations and techniques all require the author's writing skills such as organizational ability, summarization ability, and literary cultivation. It can be seen that it is important for literary and artistic workers to possess certain ideological, spiritual, and cultural qualities. Literary cultivation is not only the foundation of human cultivation, but also the foundation for all literary and artistic workers to engage in literary creation. It is necessary to attach importance to literary learning.
The great literary and artistic figure He Luting once said, "Any art that is detached from its own nation is unproductive; what belongs to the nation is the world." Therefore, the reform of Chinese painting should adhere to the premise of inheriting traditional genes and skills, absorbing modern life content, and implementing reform exploration. Educators should first teach how to be a good person, and when imparting art, they should first impart character. Guide students to delve deeper into life, learn from the general public, and strive to overcome the feudal bad habit of "literati being inferior to each other, and colleagues being jealous". Only by widely uniting our colleagues can we work together to achieve the Chinese Dream of cultural rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
