From urban and rural construction to the schematic exploration of bowls and bowls
Text: Yang Lin
After the reform and opening up, economic construction has become the theme of the times, and urban construction is of great significance to building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and realizing socialist modernization. With the vigorous development of the western part of the country, Guizhou's towns and villages have undergone earth-shaking changes, especially the Gui'an New Area and Jinyang Cultural and Commercial New Zone, which are the core areas of the Qianzhong Economic Zone. These are the precipitation of the achievements of civilization in various stages of development of society, and they are the products of the stage of civilization development. The author has witnessed this earth-shaking change, so after graduating from undergraduate to graduate studies in 2018, he has conducted practical research through the theme of township construction.

Everything in the world has its own uniqueness, even the same thing, in the eyes of different people, will show a completely different style, and even get completely different feelings. The author classifies and integrates the theoretical knowledge and painting experience he has learned into his own creation, and pays attention to the changes in the society and environment of the townships and towns in Guizhou from the search for new painting schemas and research expressions. Therefore, he tried to find the point of convergence between the township construction scene and the painting.
Located in the central part of Guizhou Province, due to the specific mountainous natural conditions and social environment, the distribution of towns is relatively sparse, the scale is generally small, and the development of towns is very slow. Before the reform and opening up, Guizhou and the whole country urban construction and development process is basically the same, although Guiyang is the central city of Guizhou Province, but the infrastructure of the town is still very backward, most of the buildings are still small bungalows with wooden bucket structure; Streets without cement pavement, relying on rickshaws, horse-drawn carts, etc. to solve urban traffic problems; There are no street lights on the streets, and most of the homes are lit by kerosene lamps and candles.

After the liberation of Guizhou, through the formulation and implementation of the Five-Year Plan, Guizhou's urban construction showed a top-down approach, with industry driving the development of urban construction, and Guiyang City as the center of construction driving the development of surrounding areas. In the past five years, the state has carried out the battle of poverty alleviation, eliminated poverty, and improved the people's livelihood, and the appearance of various townships and towns has taken on a new look, and many immigrants have relocated to enrich the development of townships and towns, and the state has carried out the transformation and construction of old and new urban areas, and many "industrial park type", "national culture", "green industry" and other townships and towns have come into being.

Artistic creation is a complex process, and artists will carry out a series of creative ideas at the beginning of artistic creation. As one of the most important elements in the art of painting, picture composition is an indispensable part of painting, in which the composition is selected to better express the content of the creation and the formal beauty of the picture. In people's visual experience, looking at everything in the world is mainly based on three perspectives: head-up, down-looking and up-up, and head-up is the most commonly used perspective when we observe things, which can objectively observe the appearance characteristics of objects; The upward viewing angle can better reflect the momentum of the object and show a strong perspective effect; Looking down is a top-down, high-to-low perspective that allows you to observe the overall appearance of an object. With the development and progress of science and technology in today's world, satellite positioning, navigation and other systems and the wide use of UAV aerial photography, the picture of looking down on the earth has increased people's visual experience, and now people will not be unfamiliar with the picture of looking down.

The author believes that the visual angle of the top-down view is more able to express a spacious space than the visual angle of the daily head-up view in the perspective of painting, and can make the various structures and levels in the space clearly visible. Second, the top-down angle has a sense of distance. The visual angle of the top-down view requires standing at a certain height to see, due to the distance and height resulting in a deep distance. Again, there's ambiguity. If the area you want to express is too large, you have to look at the object at a longer distance, and the object will become smaller, and the details of the object will become more blurry due to the limited human eyesight, but this will better highlight the macro visual effect. The author has been inspired by the changes in the perspective of his predecessors, and wants to express the grand scene of the construction and development of townships in Qianzhong, and it is best to use the form of picture composition with a large overhead view.

As the last and most important step in the battle against poverty, the construction of townships and towns in central Guizhou has presented a picture of the times of great changes in mountains and townships and splendid mountains and rivers. Through the creation of paintings of township construction in Qianzhong, the author uses different perspectives to pay attention to and express the appearance of township construction, and produces different visual art images through certain compositional forms. In the process of creation, the author combines the construction scene of Guizhou, analyzes and summarizes the collected materials, shows the magnificent scene from a top-down perspective, and uses the elements of construction as symbols to train himself to extract the objective artistic image. In terms of modeling, the rhythm of movement and stillness of the picture is enhanced through the simplification of the shape of the object, the placement and interspersing of the shape size, and the contrast between the size of the black, white and gray blocks and the use of red and blue in the color reflect the contrast between the old and the new.

In the study of the creation schema of paintings, the author realizes that the picture effect obtained from different perspectives is completely different, and the unique aesthetic perspective increases people's perspective experience. Through the visual art of painting, the imprint of the construction and development of townships in Guizhou is recorded to express the praise and reflection on the development process of China's new era, which reflects the characteristics of the times of the development of townships and towns in Guizhou and the important significance of realizing socialist modernization.
After graduating in 2021, realizing that he shoulders the responsibility of inheriting the national culture and expressing the new voice of the times, the author uses lanterns as elements to create a series of bowls and incense, magnifying the elements of lanterns as much as possible, and amplifying the impact and fascination of the two poles through the two opposing color structures of red and blue. Forming a strong visual art color aberration, placing disordered elements in the order, trying to improve the rendering power and appeal of the spatial context, from a psychological point of view, trying to achieve psychological suggestion through the use of color to convey information beyond the story.
In the future art road, it is more about exploring slowly, following the heart, and doing a good job in each work in a down-to-earth manner.
