Modern Ceramic Art and Decoration Form

The so-called modern ceramic art is a kind of work form in which ceramists use various materials or use ceramic materials as the main creative media to integrate new creative ideas and then express modern people's ideals, emotions and psychology. Modern ceramic art integrates modern elements and the feelings of ceramists on the basis of tradition, and shows its unique charm mainly through ceramic modeling, glaze kiln change and texture.

With the development and progress of the times, artists move in different directions according to their own personalities and talents. Express the author's creativity through various decorative techniques such as concreteness and abstraction. Using blue and white, new color painting techniques combined with high-temperature color glaze and other creative techniques to express, and then form different decorative forms.

Decorative forms of modern ceramic art

Decorative form of 1. modeling

Influenced by traditional ideas, China ancient ceramics formed a fixed pattern, and thousands of years of cultural customs also had a great influence on ceramic modeling and decoration. Traditional ceramic works are all regular modeling forms. Mainly in the form of three-dimensional vases and porcelain pots. Objectively speaking, if we only make ceramics according to the past model, there will be limitations. The modeling and decoration of traditional pottery can no longer meet the needs of modern people. Modern ceramic art abandons the limitations of traditional ceramic art in modeling and introduces other materials, such as glass, metal, wood, etc., which are combined with ceramics.

Although modern ceramic art has something in common with ancient ceramic art in drawing blanks and splicing, it is the product of modern art, and modern ceramic art has changed and innovated the traditional pottery modeling and porcelain pots. Traditional pottery works pay attention to balance and symmetry, and the size of the mouth, neck, shoulders and waist of the vessel should be coordinated with the contours on both sides. Modern ceramic works draw lessons from traditional ceramic modeling methods, use deconstruction or pop form, absorb modern sculpture and western art modeling methods, and create ceramic works different from traditional ceramic modeling. Deconstruction is used to divide an object into several parts and combine them to produce different effects, breaking the limitations of traditional ceramic art, such as Ning Gang's work A Midsummer. Although the shape is a traditional mosaic, the author uses irregular clay tablets to change it, which has the characteristics of modern ceramic art.

2. Decorative form of texture

In the creation of modern ceramic art, it is very common to use texture techniques to form the decorative effect of ceramic art. Texture generally refers to the surface texture formed by certain materials, manufacturing technology and firing temperature in ceramic works. It is a comprehensive expression of materials, production, firing and other factors. Generally speaking, the decoration of ceramic works has two kinds of textures, one is natural texture. If decorated with natural objects such as stone grain, wood grain, cloth grain and leaf grain; Second, artificial texture. Such as brush strokes, decals, friction, knife carving, chiseling, etc.

In ceramic creation, it is the function of texture to improve the material application ability of works and produce visual impact. Modern ceramic art emphasizes aesthetics and emotional expression, which breaks the traditional concept of ceramic art and introduces the comprehensive application of materials, kiln transformation and firing methods into ceramic art. Although the practical function of texture is weakening, it has not reduced the use of texture, but has been used more and more, and its forms are becoming more and more colorful.

3. Decorative form of glaze color

Over-glaze decoration is a basic ceramic decoration technology. Colorful colored glass satisfies people's pursuit and enjoyment of ceramic beauty. Glaze decoration includes: matte glaze, crack glaze, crystalline glaze, shrink glaze, etc.

Over-glaze decoration makes full use of its texture and color. The lightness, warmth and coldness of colors play a very important role in the emotional expression of ceramists in ceramic decoration. The uncertainty of ceramists about the dosage, thickness and firing of glaze sometimes produces unexpected effects, and the good use and firing of glaze adds color to ceramic works. Huang's work "Qingyun" used shadow green glaze, which changed during the firing process. Originally, the overall shape of the utensil should be green, but it changed unexpectedly because of smoking. It is in this expectation of unpredictability, inevitability and uncertainty that ceramists seek the expression of glaze in their ceramic works, and combine their feelings about life and nature with the artist's feelings and materials and free creative methods.

The invention and use of glaze is of epoch-making significance in the history of ceramic art development, which makes ceramic art decoration have a broader development space. Glaze not only protects the ceramic body, but its color, texture and texture are the biggest changes in ceramic art, and the accidental factors of glaze are distributed in its firing process, such as glaze shrinkage. Every breakthrough and innovation of ceramic glaze color will have a great and far-reaching impact on ceramic art, but in the process of creation, ceramists should not only integrate their own personality characteristics and emotions, but also pay attention to the development and innovation of glaze color and broaden the road of glaze color of ceramic works.

4. Decorative form of glaze color

Under-glaze decoration includes over-glaze decoration and under-glaze decoration.

Pastel is an over-glaze decoration technique. Can represent light and shade, render colors, color gradients, and the connection of different tones. All these can achieve the characteristics of softness and elegance. Modern pastel has been greatly updated from expression techniques to creative ideas, mainly because of the research and application of modern new materials by ceramists. In order to add aesthetic feeling to pastel painting, ceramists must master the change of high temperature glaze color and the use of various pigments and different tools. Delicate brushwork and vivid colors have always been the reason why pastels have attracted attention.

New color, formerly known as foreign color, appeared in the late Qing Dynasty and is also a decorative method of over-glaze color. The new color uses applique, painting, printing, gold painting and coloring, color printing, gold corrosion and various electric luster to decorate the works. Rich colors, diverse decorations, vivid patterns and novel styles are the characteristics of new colors.

Blue and white decoration is an underglaze decoration, which is colored with cobalt and fired at the same time with the green tire. The blue-and-white decoration in modern ceramic art is developed on the basis of folk blue-and-white. It is not simply attached to the blank as a decorative form, but expressed as the main body of the work and the carrier of the author's emotion. Huang's work "Table" combines traditional blue and white with modernity, and puts the delicate, exquisite and quaint pieces of traditional blue and white pots in Ming Dynasty on a hard, rough and atmospheric mud table, solidifying the ancient ceramic culture in modern ceramic art.

5. Comprehensive decoration

Comprehensive decoration is a popular decorative form in modern ceramic art in recent years. It is a ceramic work that uses more than two different decorative techniques. Such as carving, applique, paper-cutting, collage, etc. Or using different decorative materials such as glaze, clay, colored materials and colored clay, or using different painting techniques such as over-glaze, under-glaze and over-glaze, or causing kiln change or smoke during ceramic firing. Various decorative techniques and techniques are combined with each other to form various comprehensive artistic effects. Works suitable for people combine collage and blue and white. Qin Xilin's works also use two decorative forms, combining blue and white with natural textures, which has produced very attractive visual effects.

Pottery workers constantly exert their imagination, constantly explore new technologies, and constantly learn from and absorb the new techniques of predecessors, thus enriching the decorative forms of modern pottery. The development of modern ceramic decorative forms is not isolated. On the one hand, we should inherit the achievements of traditional ceramic art, on the other hand, we should absorb foreign culture and develop our own decoration.

Modern ceramics, also known as fine ceramics, special ceramics or high-performance ceramics, can be divided into two categories according to their application functions: high-strength, high-temperature resistant and composite structural ceramics and electrical and electronic functional ceramics.

Modern ceramics are new special ceramics with one or more functions such as electricity, magnetism, light, heat, sound, chemistry and biology. It is made by adding inorganic materials with special formula into the ceramic blank and sintering at a high temperature of about 1360 degrees. And coupling functions such as piezoelectric, thermoelectric, electro-optic, acousto-optic, magneto-optical and other functions.

Relations and differences between traditional ceramics and modern ceramics

The difference between traditional ceramics and modern ceramics is different in technology, style and color. Modern ceramics is the continuation of traditional ceramics. Modern ceramics have added many modern elements, greatly improving the manufacturing process! But traditional ceramics also have their own essence!

1, origin:

Most products of traditional ceramics are daily necessities with practical value, and practicality determines the basic form of traditional ceramic modeling structure. Their creators are both craftsmen and farmers, engaged in pottery making and farming every year.
