What is the law of formal beauty?

The law of formal beauty is an empirical summary and abstract generalization of the law of formal beauty in the process of creating beautiful forms and beauty.

Including:

Symmetrical balance, simple unity, harmonious contrast, unity of proportion, rhythm and change. Studying and exploring the law of formal beauty can cultivate people's sensitivity to formal beauty and guide people to create beautiful things better. Mastering the law of formal beauty can make people more consciously use the law of formal beauty to express the content of beauty and achieve a high degree of unity between form and content of beauty.

From the Pythagorean School in ancient Greece to Aristotle, to Hegel and Willianm Hogarth, formal beauty is being discussed, but there is a tendency to separate content and form. Marxism makes a scientific analysis of formal beauty. It is believed that color, line and form are some attributes of real things, and when they are combined according to certain laws, they have aesthetic significance.

Its combination law includes two levels: first, the overall combination law, that is, harmony, requires diversity and unity; The second is the combination law of each part, mainly balance, contrast, symmetry, neatness, proportion, rhythm, subject and object, unevenness and so on.

Constitutive factors

The composing factors of formal beauty are generally divided into two parts: one is the perceptual materials that constitute formal beauty, and the other is the combination law between the perceptual materials that constitute formal beauty, or the law of composition and formal beauty.
