I. Preamble
As one of the forms of artistic expression, oil painting occupies an important position in the field of art with its rich colors, profound connotations and diverse forms. In the art of oil painting, modeling language plays a vital role as the most fundamental form structure and the basis of painting. Through the use of modeling language, artists can not only express their personal emotions and inner world, but also convey their observation and understanding of the real world, arousing the audience's resonance and thinking.
II. The basic concepts of the modeling language of oil painting
A. Natural structure and form: Analyze the influence of natural form and structure on the modeling language of oil painting
The natural world is one of the richest sources of inspiration for artists, and its morphological structure includes not only a rich variety of biological forms, but also various natural scenery such as topography and celestial phenomena. The influence of these morphological structures on the plastic language of oil painting is multifaceted.
First of all, the biological forms in nature provide rich materials and inspiration for oil painting art. Observing and feeling the morphological characteristics of various animals and plants from nature can inspire artists to discover and create a variety of wonderful morphological compositions. For example, by referring to the body of animals, the growth state of plants, and the microstructure of microorganisms, artists can create oil paintings full of vitality and dynamics, thus enriching the expression of the modeling language of oil painting.
Secondly, the topography and celestial phenomena in nature are also important reference objects for the modeling language of oil painting. The morphological characteristics of natural scenes, such as mountains, rivers, lakes and grasslands, sky and clouds, are often used by artists to construct the background and atmosphere of their paintings. Through the observation and depiction of natural scenes, artists can make the picture more three-dimensional and spacious, and enhance the visual effect and expressiveness of the work.
B. Picture structure and form: Discuss the structure and formal characteristics of oil paintings
The structural composition and formal characteristics of oil painting are an important part of the modeling language of oil painting, which includes the layout, composition and color of the picture.
First of all, the layout of the picture refers to the spatial relationship and arrangement of the various elements in the picture. Artists often use reasonable layout design to make the picture have a sense of balance, harmony and rhythm, so that the viewer's gaze can flow naturally and produce a comfortable visual experience. For example, the use of symmetry, hierarchy, center of gravity and other layout principles can make the picture more stable and orderly, and enhance the overall effect and expressiveness of the work.
Secondly, composition refers to the arrangement and combination of the various elements in the picture. Artists often use careful composition design to make the picture have a sense of layering, perspective and three-dimensionality, so as to enhance the spatial depth and three-dimensional effect of the work. For example, the use of perspective, proportion, contrast and other composition techniques can make the picture more three-dimensional and dynamic, attract the viewer's attention and arouse emotional resonance.
III. Use of Creativity and Design
A. Creative Expression: Analyze how an artist creates a unique visual effect through the language of modeling
In the creation of oil paintings, artists are able to create unique visual effects through the creative use of modeling language, making the works more expressive and personalized.
First of all, the artists create images with a unique style through the deformation and exaggeration of forms. For example, Van Gogh often exaggerated and distorted the image in his works, making it more vivid and expressive. By magnifying, elongating or distorting the image, he creates a picture effect full of tension and movement, which makes the viewer deeply impressed by the work.
Secondly, the artists create a colorful visual effect through the use of color. The color of oil painting is an important means for artists to express emotions and atmosphere, and artists often create unique and rich picture effects through the selection and use of colors. For example, in his famous Cubist works, Picasso used bold color contrasts and optical illusions to make the picture full of dynamism and vitality, giving people a strong visual impact.
B. Use of Design: Discuss how artists use the language of modeling in the management of pictures to design and layout
In the creation of oil painting, the artists are able to design and layout the works in the operation of the picture through the design of the modeling language, so as to make the works more structural and beautiful.
First of all, the artists designed the layout to make the picture balanced and harmonious. The layout of the picture is the basis of the picture structure, and the artists have designed the layout of the picture to achieve balance and harmony in the spatial relationship and arrangement between the various elements, so that the viewer's gaze can flow naturally and produce a comfortable visual experience. For example, in his impressionist works, Monet often adopts a scattered layout design, so that the picture has a dynamic and changing effect, and enhances the visual impact and appreciation of the work.
Secondly, the artists made the picture have a sense of hierarchy and perspective through the design of the composition. Composition is an important part of the structure of the picture, and the artists design the composition to make the picture have a sense of hierarchy and perspective, and enhance the spatial depth and three-dimensional effect of the work. For example, in his Renaissance works, Leonardo da Vinci often used pyramid-shaped compositions to give the picture a sense of hierarchy and stability, guiding the viewer's gaze to focus on the center of the picture, producing a strong visual impact and emotional resonance.
IV. The expression and communication of the modeling language of oil painting
A. Visual Communication: Explores the visual expression and communication of plastic language in oil painting
As a visual art form, oil painting is visually communicated through modeling language, which can express the artist's observation, feeling and imagination in a unique way. In the creation of oil paintings, the artists have achieved a variety of visual expressions and communication methods through the use of modeling language.
First of all, oil painting realizes visual expression and communication through the expression of form. Artists create works with unique styles and images through the shaping and expression of forms. For example, in realist oil painting, artists depict nuanced forms through precise realism techniques, so that the viewer can clearly feel the object or scene depicted in the work. In expressionist oil painting, artists express inner emotions and subjective feelings through exaggeration and distortion, so that the viewer can more intuitively feel the emotions and emotions conveyed by the works.
Secondly, oil painting realizes visual expression and communication through the use of color. Color is one of the most expressive elements in oil painting, and the artists have achieved a rich and colorful visual effect through the selection and use of color. For example, in oil paintings with strong chiaroscuro, the artists make the picture have a strong light and shadow effect by processing the light and dark layers of colors and the contrast between cold and warm, and enhance the three-dimensional sense and layering of the work. In the oil paintings with bright colors and strong contrasts, the artists create a vibrant and dynamic picture effect through the sharp contrast and collocation of colors, which attracts the viewer's attention and arouses the viewer's emotional resonance.
B. Emotional Expression: Analyze how the modeling language expresses the artist's emotions and inner artistic conception
As an art form of emotional expression, oil painting expresses the artist's inner emotions and inner artistic conception through modeling language, so that the viewer can resonate and communicate with the work. In the creation of oil paintings, the artists have realized a variety of emotional expressions through the use of modeling language.
First of all, oil painting realizes emotional expression and communication through the expression of form and composition. Through the shaping of forms and the design of compositions, artists create works with emotional tension and inner artistic conception. For example, in expressionist oil painting, the artists expressed their inner impulses and passions through the exaggeration and distortion of the image, as well as the intricacy of the composition, so that the viewer could feel the strong emotions and emotions conveyed by the work. In freehand oil painting, the artists express the tranquility and profundity of the heart through concise and expressive brushstrokes and compositions, which make the viewer resonate and think.
Secondly, oil painting realizes emotional expression and communication through the use of color and light and shadow. Color and light and shadow are highly expressive elements in oil painting, and artists express their inner emotions and emotions through the treatment of color and light and shadow. For example, in Abstract Expressionist oil paintings, artists often use bold colors and effects of light and shadow to express inner passion and ecstasy, so that the viewer can feel the strong emotions and emotions conveyed by the work. In realist oil painting, the artists express inner peace and affection through the delicate treatment of color, light and shadow, so that the viewer can resonate and communicate emotionally.
V. The relationship between form and innovation
In the creation of contemporary oil painting, the continuation and innovation of form is an important topic. The continuation of traditional forms in contemporary oil painting is reflected in the inheritance and development of traditional themes, shapes and expression techniques, as well as in the reflection and exploration of contemporary society, culture and thought. At the same time, innovation means that artists make breakthroughs and explorations on the basis of tradition, find new ways of expression and artistic language, and make their works contemporary and personalized.
A. Continuation of traditional forms
Inheritance and development of subject matter: In contemporary oil painting, traditional themes such as landscapes, figures, and still lifes still attract the attention of artists, but they have innovated in the way of expression. For example, in the works with traditional still lifes as the theme, the artists transform traditional objects into metaphors and criticisms of contemporary life and consumer culture, giving the works a new connotation of the times.
Inheritance and Evolution of Modeling: Traditional modeling has been inherited and developed in contemporary oil painting. On the basis of traditional realistic techniques, the artists have incorporated more abstract and expressionist elements, so that the works have both traditional realism and modern aesthetic sense and expressiveness.
Technique inheritance and innovation: Traditional oil painting techniques such as the use of color and layered expression have been inherited and developed in contemporary oil painting. Through the innovation of traditional techniques, the artists make their works more expressive and have deeper meanings.
Innovation and development
Innovation of Expression: Contemporary oil painting artists have made their works have more diverse forms of expression through the innovation of formal language. For example, multimedia technology, installations and other means are used to combine oil painting with contemporary art forms to create more experimental and avant-garde works.
Innovation of subject matter: The subject matter of contemporary oil painting works is more diversified and personalized. The artists pay attention to many issues such as contemporary society, culture, and politics, and express their thoughts and views on the contemporary world through their works, so that their works have a stronger sense of the times and social relevance.
Innovation of technical means: Contemporary oil painting artists have made their works more expressive and artistic appeal through the innovation of technical means. For example, the use of digital technology, virtual reality and other means to make the work have a stronger visual impact and aesthetic effect.
VI. Conclusion
