What are the characteristics of artistic thinking?

Art design aesthetics is an active value orientation activity or value realization activity. It is a series of thinking activities such as observing, perceiving, contacting, imagining, even understanding and judging beautiful things and phenomena. Its connotation is to understand the beauty of things or works of art.. Artistic aesthetics needs to have certain aesthetic ability, and artistic synaesthesia is a very important link in aesthetic ability. Artistic synaesthesia is like a "bridge" in the process of artistic creation and appreciation, which makes the arts communicate and transform with each other. Make people's vision, hearing, smell, touch and other feelings communicate and transform with each other, and also make art interact, communicate and inspire each other. It plays an important role as a bridge for all kinds of arts, even for mastery.

Understanding artistic synaesthesia

The greatest feature of art is the characteristic of exchanging needed goods, and the essence of artistic aesthetics is to grasp artistic synaesthesia. From the perspective of aesthetic apperception, artistic synaesthesia is a kind of apperception, integrity and creative aesthetic power which takes aesthetic apperception as its basic psychological function and emotion as its psychological power in artistic activities and expresses the personality, mood and mood of the creative subject. Therefore, artistic synaesthesia should be an artistic creation ability. For an artist, the stronger the ability of artistic synaesthesia, the more sensitive he can grasp the characteristics of the image and understand the artistic synaesthesia points between feelings, so as to describe the artistic truth and create unlimited artistic imagination space; For art recipients, the stronger their artistic synaesthesia ability, the more they can communicate with the author in the process of acceptance, understand the meaning created by the author, and thus construct their own artistic personality. Therefore, the improvement of artistic synaesthesia ability is an important symbol and embodiment of the improvement of aesthetic ability.

artistic synaesthesia, also known as synaesthesia, synaesthesia, transference or joint sensation, refers to the psychological process in which various senses from perception, representation to image are shifted, transformed, infiltrated and communicated with each other in the flow of various artistic symbols. It is the communication and borrowing of different feelings and the result of the accumulation of practical experience in social life; Using synaesthesia can break through people's thinking pattern, deepen artistic thinking, turn intangible into tangible, abstract into concrete, and create vivid and touching artistic image and artistic realm: synaesthesia has the ways of "feeling intuition association" and "emotion attitude association". In artistic aesthetics, artistic synaesthesia is one of the keys to make artistic symbols flow and produce high-level aesthetic experience.

People's perception of the world depends on five senses: eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body, thus forming five senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. From the perspective of "synaesthesia", these five senses are interrelated, penetrating and interrelated. Synaesthesia is of great value in aesthetic education. It requires people not only to observe its shape, but also to see its spirit, that is, to see the inner spirit from the external image and realize its profound meaning from the emotional ups and downs. Therefore, I think that the development of a single sense can not form a real artistic ability. In aesthetic cultivation, we should fully mobilize a variety of senses, that is, enrich the aesthetic experience of the soul with "synaesthesia" and build a bridge of aesthetic communication between various arts with artistic synaesthesia. Artistic synaesthesia not only occurs in the sensory layer, it is a more advanced psychological activity. In the meantime, we should pay attention to the unique role of "apperception" in unifying and integrating human consciousness. Synaesthesia transfers scattered sensory stimuli into a whole set, and all kinds of different stimuli are related under the whole action. The comprehensive function of apperception is based on association and association, which produces the concept of set and causes two kinds of apperception analysis: one is called imagination and the other is called understanding. It is the connection and association in apperception that produces the concept of set-holistic cognition.

aesthetic characteristics of art

in literature and art, according to the different media means and ways of shaping images in various art forms, they are called plastic arts, performing arts, language arts and comprehensive arts respectively. Literature is a language art. In artistic aesthetics, artistic aesthetic characteristics are the basis of synaesthesia. Artists and appreciators must find a breakthrough point among various artistic aesthetic characteristics and establish contact with each other in order to make synaesthesia naturally flow among various arts. Therefore, if we use artistic synaesthesia to appreciate beauty, we must understand the aesthetic characteristics of various arts. The following is a brief analysis of the aesthetic characteristics of various arts:

First, the aesthetic characteristics of plastic arts. Plastic arts refers to the use of certain material (such as pigment, silk, cloth, paper. Stone, metal, wood, bamboo, etc.), an artistic form that expresses social life and artists' emotions by shaping visual static images. It includes painting, sculpture, photography, architecture, arts and crafts and other specific art forms. Its main aesthetic feature is intuition and concreteness; Instantaneous eternity; The difference of spatial expression; The formal beauty of cohesion.

(1) Intuitive concreteness means that plastic arts have the characteristics of using material media to display specific artistic images in space. Plastic arts use material media to create concrete artistic images, which directly appeal to people's visual senses. This kind of direct and concrete image contains rich artistic meaning, which directly presents the concrete visible or tangible image to the audience and causes the audience's intuitive aesthetic feeling. Plastic arts can also transform some intangible things that are difficult to show in real life into concrete visual images that can be intuitive.

(2) Instantaneous eternity means that plastic arts have the characteristic of choosing a specific moment to express eternal significance. Plastic arts is a static art, which is difficult to reproduce the movement and development process of things, but it can capture, select, refine and fix the most expressive and meaningful moments in the development process of things, "moving in the static" and expressing "eternity" with "moments". For example, photography art, the instantaneous expression of photographic images, often seize the moment before the climax, leaving infinite room for imagination.

(3) the difference of spatial expression means that the various categories of plastic arts have different characteristics in spatial expression. For example, Chinese and western paintings use different perspective methods to create an illusory three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional plane. In western oil paintings, "focus perspective" is used, while in Chinese paintings, "scattered perspective" is used.

(4) condensed formal beauty means that plastic arts have the characteristics of condensing and aggregating formal beauty in artistic images. The law of formal beauty is universal to all categories of plastic arts, so using the law of formal beauty to process material media can integrate artistic symbols condensed with formal beauty. Various rules of formal beauty (such as symmetry, balance, rhythm, rhythm, contrast, proportion, master and slave, scale, light and shade, truth and falsehood, diversity and unity, etc.) are condensed into various forms of beauty in the concrete application of various arts. For example, the symmetry of proportion, the changing rhythm, the contrast between light and shade, the unity of diversity, the coexistence of reality and falsehood, etc., are all concentrated manifestations of the law of formal beauty in various categories of art.

Art classification is not absolute and unconditional. On the contrary, the boundaries between various categories of art are not absolute and conditional. There are differences, connections and mutual integration between them in terms of aesthetic feelings, means of expression, and mutual development. Their aesthetic characteristics also have a lot in common. To realize the aesthetic experience of artistic synaesthesia, we must firmly grasp the similarities and differences between various arts, and make these aesthetic characteristics communicate with each other in the aesthetic feelings of various arts through the communication and borrowing between feelings.
