Appreciation of line drawing works and improvement of aesthetics

The most basic modeling method of art is line, and line is the basic element of visual art image. Whether it is a plane or three-dimensional work, whether it is a realistic or abstract work, lines, as a painting language to create images and express artists' thoughts and feelings, show rich expressive force and artistic beauty. The traditional technique of Chinese painting-eighteen strokes-is a vivid description of various lines. Lines in China's painting history can be traced back to modern ink painting and colorful painting in Yangshao culture, and lines have been used in different dynasties.

Lines in western painting have a strong modeling function. Due to the influence of eastern and western cultural backgrounds, they are different in form and aesthetic feeling. The line drawing in oriental painting pays attention to emotion, which is full of rhythm and decorative beauty, while the line drawing in western painting is more rational. Under the influence of appreciation habits, the differences of traditional modeling concepts in painting have formed different expressive force and national style.
