The combination of the concept of paper-cut center line and modern ceramic works
"Line" in geometry refers to a figure formed by any movement of a point, that is, a straight line, a curve, or a line. It is often said that the extension or connection of points constitutes lines and combinations of lines. Line is one of the main factors that constitute the formal beauty of paper-cutting. From the perspective of the function of line in paper-cutting art, it is divided into modeling lines, contour lines, movement lines, texture lines, etc.; in terms of composition, there are "two yin lines and one yang line" and "two yang lines and one yin line". The yin and yang of lines are very important in the performance of paper-cutting, and the distribution in paper-cutting is also very particular. The shapes of lines include straight lines, broken lines, curves, wavy lines, compound curves, dotted lines, rounded lines, flat lines, and pointed lines. Lines, as well as combined parallel lines, radial lines, aligned lines, etc.
In terms of the presentation method of paper-cutting, the "line" of paper-cutting is obviously different from the "line" of painting. To shape lines in painting, you can form lines with just one stroke of the brush. Various lines can use many methods and techniques such as sharp, slow, pause, stagger, center, side, as well as the shade and virtuality of color or ink. and skill performance. Although paper-cutting can be expressed using various tools, it still has great limitations. In paper-cutting, the scissors continue to advance on the paper and cut through the paper surface, but still cannot form a line to express the desired expression. It can only be a cut, which is regarded as a "hidden line" at most. The lines in paper-cutting have the function of connecting and integrating the entire "picture" of paper-cutting. Adding border lines and appropriate connecting lines is a necessary means to support paper-cutting, which can tightly connect the various parts of the paper-cutting to form a whole that will not fall off (as shown in the paper-cutting work "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea"). The changes in different line shapes and the various combinations of lines can enrich the diverse artistic styles of the work. Straight lines give a sense of speed and power. In the art of paper-cutting, there are many ways to process lines, which can give people a clear feeling visually, being stable, stable and full of tension. The rhythm left by the rigidity of the scissors when running between the soft tissue paper transcends the external appearance of the object and directly records the authors emotional pulse. It may be slender, bold, bright, or simple, and the combination structure of just the right lines, You can even achieve rich color effects from monochromatic paper cuts. Savor these paper-cut works carefully, they contain conflicts in simplicity, and seek contrasts in harmony; some are mainly short lines, and some are mainly dense like filaments; some are strong and rigid lines. Mainly, such as the brushstrokes of traditional Chinese painting, the tones of oil paintings, the density, dryness, opening and closing of brushstrokes, etc. IWe can see that in the paper-cutting, the floral decorations are inadvertently made of lines, and the swirling lines are used to represent the hair of animals. These rich lines reflect the beautiful image in the authors mind. The lines that flicker in the picture are like the beating notes in the music, forming a very decorative piece of music.

The emotional expression of paper-cut lines in modern ceramic decoration is also very strong, and it is also the most personalized and dynamic design element. Line is a symbol of cultural expression, plays the role of expressing artistic image, and embodies the beauty of shape through certain straight and straight lines. As shown in "Paper-cut Ceramic Decorative Pen Holder", the work in the picture is an underglaze monochrome paper-cut decoration. The author uses changing curves to connect points and surfaces to form a rich paper-cut decorative pattern. In the entire cylindrical ceramic image, red and white form a sharp contrast; graceful, light, soft, and emotional round lines, wavy lines, and pointed lines organically connect points and surfaces of different sizes. At the same time, the decoration of the vessels is full of melody and rhythm.

The lines cut with scissors or carved with a carving knife need to be smooth and unrestrained, vigorous and powerful, and completed in one go. However, when used in modern ceramic decoration, not only the appearance but also the spiritual similarity is sought, so the thickness and length of the lines, Rigidity, softness and roundness are more needed to achieve the effect of "cutting" or "carving". In the shape of the vessel, we often dare to break the limitations of the natural shape and completely decorate it with linear patterns, which has more of a decorative effect. In modern ceramic decoration, in addition to plane decoration, we must also consider its three-dimensional surface, as well as the interconnection between the surfaces in the shape of modern ceramics and the connection and echo between the pictures. As shown in the work "Romantic Dance", paper-cut lines are used in this modern ceramic work to highlight the decorative sense of the entire work. The author uses the "yin and yang shearing method" to combine and carve on the body,The hollowing out reflects the effect of "cutting and engraving". We find that the organization and arrangement of this line not only enriches the expressive power of the work, but also adds to the appeal of the work. The authors handling of the line clearly reveals the decorative meaning to be expressed. Because the decorative blurring and blurring of lines injects more subjective spiritual concepts into the work, it can give the viewer more active reverie and aesthetic pleasure, and may allow the viewer to read more details from it. . In the work, through the decorative combination of the curvature, length, and thickness of the center line of the paper-cut pattern, the aesthetics of density, virtuality, movement, rhythm, hardness and softness, urgency, opening and closing, harmony, etc. are displayed, and the art of paper-cutting is revealed happily and directly. It has a lively, simple, frank and childish interest; this kind of line decoration makes the pictures of the work interconnected and interconnected, and is full of a sense of movement and time, which can easily affect the emotions of the viewer. It is smart, soft, full of rhyme and rhythm, and uses abstract language to express the wonderful and unpredictable scenes of the world. The threads in paper-cut art bring youth and vitality to modern ceramic decoration, interpreting the passion of life. Whether it is a modeling factor or an expression style, it is an important means of creating artistic aesthetics.
