Characteristics of traditional ceramic art

The characteristics of traditional ceramic art are as follows:

Ceramic production process is a low continuous flow production process. Ceramic raw materials are put into production from one end of the factory, continuously processed in sequence, and finally become finished products. The whole process is complex and the continuity between processes is low. The degree of mechanization and automation in ceramic production process is low.

Ceramic production cycle is long. The production cycle of ceramic products refers to the total calendar time from the input of raw materials to the production of finished products through various processes.

In the process of ceramic production, the consumption of auxiliary materials such as gypsum model, sagger and boron plate is large. Modern ceramic art has both material and spiritual attributes.

Ceramic art creation is a production process that uses material media as a means and carrier to convey artists' aesthetic concepts and images. Modern ceramists pursue the unity of simplicity, uniqueness and generality in the process of vivid description and shaping.

The unity of spiritual integrity and tranquility. All parts of the modeling image must maintain a harmonious proportional relationship, including up and down, left and right, primary and secondary, whole and local.

The unity of simplicity and generality of image. Modern ceramists pursue the unity of simplicity, uniqueness and generality in the process of vivid description and shaping.

The unity of visual image and soul. A basic feature of art is visual image, especially like modern ceramic art, which is more obvious and intuitive. It can arouse the association and imagination of the appreciator, and can be grasped by the appreciator without intermediary, which is determined by the characteristics of ceramic art.

Ceramics is a general term for pottery and porcelain. China people invented pottery as early as about 8000-2000 BC (Neolithic Age). Ceramic materials are mainly oxides, nitrides, borides and carbides. Common ceramic materials are clay, alumina, kaolin and so on. Ceramic materials generally have high hardness, but poor plasticity. Besides the use of utensils and decorations, it also plays an important role in the development of science and technology.

Ceramic raw materials are the earth's original resources, clay, which is quenched. Clay is tough, plastic when it meets water at room temperature, slightly dry and grindable; Fired to 700 degrees, pottery can hold water; It will be porcelain when it is burned to 1230 degrees, and it will not absorb water at all, and it is resistant to high temperature and corrosion. In today's culture and technology, its flexibility of use still has various creative applications.
