Introduction to art

Section 1; Art is not only ideology, but also a form of production.

Humans master the world in four ways: art, religion, practice and theory (science).

The way that art grasps the world can be understood as the way that human beings care for the whole world attentively, and it is also the way that human beings produce art. We study art and understand its self-discipline. A key artistic philosophy and aesthetic proposition is to study art not only as an ideology, but also as a form of production. We believe that any art, in terms of its essential characteristics, is an aesthetic and creative ideology. It is also an aesthetic form of production.

Art is a creative work full of passion and vitality with the help of certain material and material tools, certain aesthetic ability and skills, the interaction and combination of spirit and material, mind and aesthetic object.

The purpose of artistic creation is 1. Realizing aesthetic value II. Realizing cognitive value III. Realize the educational value.

1. Art needs strong subjectivity.

Art, as one of the characteristics of ideology and production form, requires the theme of producers to be permeated with strong subjective consciousness and strong subjective factors (thoughts, emotions, intentions, moods, wishes, etc.). ) into the production process, materialized into the product object.

2. Art form is the existence of objectification.

As a prominent feature of ideology and production form, art requires producers to "materialize" their unique artistic personality and temperament, artistic style and vocabulary, artistic genius and emotional symbols into products, so as to obtain an objective, realistic, vivid and unique way of existence in artistic production. Unique is the life of art, and individuality is the soul of art.

3. Art form is a form of beauty.

As one of the outstanding features of ideology and production form, art requires producers to "materialize" their subjective aesthetic feelings, aesthetic experiences and self-created appropriate and appropriate forms of beauty into products.

Chapter two. Classification of art forms

I. Materialized Structure and Art Form

According to the different materialized structures, the division of art forms (time art? , space art? Time and space art)

1. One of the time arts: music

Including the combination of literature (poetry) and music, sometimes literature (poetry) is regarded as one of the time arts.

The origin of music (labor origin theory, language inhibition theory, witchcraft origin theory)

Why can music show special magic and charm?

(1). This is due to the nature of "sound".

(2) The "acoustics" of music is the basic means of its materialized structure, which is closely related to people's emotions, spiritual life and psychological fluctuations, and has a pure sensory impact.

(3) In the embryonic stage of primitive art, music and sound are always associated with actions and gestures in human activities, which are more closely related than words and more out of natural instinct.

Music shows special magic and charm in human spiritual life. It can also be said that music sometimes has its own unique inscrutable mystery.

2. The second art of time: literature

Poetry: a major category of literature. China's poetry has a long history and excellent works continue?

The division of poetry. According to the content (narrative poems, lyric poems), according to the meter (metrical poems, free poems) and according to the rhythm (rhyming poems, blank poems).

In the wave of free verse, Li Shutong, the master of art, wrote a beautiful and moving rhyme farewell >> The tune of an American song was chosen, which was ingenious and matched with lyrics, and it was seamless. It has become a classic lyric song and has been passed down to this day. It can be said that poetry and music are a perfect match.

3. One of the space arts: painting

As a comprehensive form of modeling, space art, painting and sculpture art and architecture are also important space arts.

Painting generally occupies two-dimensional space, while sculpture generally occupies three-dimensional, four-dimensional or multi-dimensional space. Painting gives people a sense of space in front view, while sculpture gives people a sense of space in comprehensive view.

The basic elements of painting are lines, light and shade and color.

There are three ways to convey aesthetic experience by using color.

First, it is the way of heraldry.

The second is the composition of tonal expression.

Third, it is solid color composition.

(Figure 00 1) The way of heraldry? Use decorative colors to express something symbolic.

Composition of tonal expression

According to the relationship between light and color of natural objects, the painter evokes visual images or impressions of various color levels and different shades of cold and warm on the palette, forming a painting full of tonal expressions.

Solid color composition

(Figure 002) Painters use color to realize the expressive force of color itself.

Painting, or all space arts, is human beings' self-realization in different physical forms, instead of taking themselves as the carrier of some spiritual strength like vocal music, dance and performing arts.

4. Second Space Art: Sculpture

As a space art, sculpture is very different from painting. The biggest feature and advantage of sculpture lies in its three-dimensional space. This feature and advantage of sculpture gives viewers countless wonderful angles to observe, appreciate and feel.

China's ancient sculptures are widely distributed, colorful and numerous, and are world-renowned.

5. Time and space art: dance

Dance is one of the oldest artistic activities of mankind, which has achieved a high degree of development in prehistoric times. When people were still living in barbaric groups, they created a difficult and beautiful dance art, and the music of this period was beautiful only with this dance. Dance is a continuous movement that people use their own bodies according to a certain rhythm. It is both the art of time and the art of space.

Three elements of dance: posture? Structural action

Second, the symbol system and art form

Classification of art forms? Plastic arts? Non-plastic art-the art of combining plastic and non-plastic

Plastic arts generally rely on vision.

Symbol system is static, with the characteristics of accurate shaping or variant shaping according to natural prototype, giving people vision and touch, as if it were a visible and tangible entity. Painting and sculpture belong to plastic arts. Photography, arts and crafts, folk arts and some buildings can also be classified as plastic arts, but they are all unique.

Non-plastic arts generally rely on hearing.

Symbol system is dynamic, with the characteristics of surpassing the prototype of the object and changing freely, giving people hearing and touch, and preventing corrosion of fleeting, confusing and illusory spiritual existence. Music and dance are representative non-plastic arts. Architecture is basically classified as non-plastic art because of the characteristics of music. It is precisely because of this feature that Goethe, Hugo and Beethoven all called architecture "solidified music". Correspondingly, music is also called "flowing architecture".
