What is the general shape of Yutian clay sculpture?

1, exaggerated modeling, simple lines, enchanting and elegant posture, quite the beauty of Tang Dynasty pottery figurines-Li. For example, Yang Jiajiang, Afu and other semi-colored plastic works, the front image of the characters is drawn, and the back is omitted as glossy surface with holes. This simple modeling style mainly stems from the instinctive inheritance of primitive clay sculpture and the absorption of ancient modeling techniques such as stone and wood relief.

2. In painting, the pen is mainly made of iron wire, with rough and unrestrained coloring, natural points, lines and surfaces, and sharp color contrast, forming a vulgar artistic feature. For example, when Afu painted, artists knew how to leave white space and regarded white as the mother of all colors.

One is to divide white powder into three hard colors (hard colors are complementary colors), but the colors are not equal, but the strong contrast of equivalence is weakened by the combination of points, lines and surfaces and the increase and decrease of area. In particular, it absorbs the color matching technique of "soft top and white bottom, hard top and soft bottom" (light color with high lightness and low purity) in Yangliuqing New Year pictures, which naturally makes the body color of clay figurines produce color levels.

3. With the flute device, colorful sculptures are endowed with fresh vitality, which is unique to objective objects. The pores of half-color clay figurines are generally located on the back, the pores of full-color clay figurines are generally located on the side, and the sound holes are all located at the bottom of the clay figurines. This kind of natural sound made by blowing holes with the mouth is very memorable.
