Similarities between folk paper-cut configurations and graphic design sketches
"Plane image" refers to one of the sub-topics in design sketch teaching (such as structure, light and shade, texture, space construction, image association, etc.). It means that when combining and depicting images, we do not rely on focal perspective, but replace focal perspective with some special concepts and practices. This requires students to get rid of the expression method of light and dark space in traditional sketches, use their imagination, boldly exaggerate and decorate the original form of the object, so that the object has a two-dimensional shape. The two-dimensional vision of paper-cutting is similar to the flatness of two-dimensional imagery. The integration of the two can train students' ability to apply Chinese folk art to design, and it is also an improvement in students' design abilities.
Paper-cut summary, decoration and bold exaggeration are similar to the requirements of design sketch training summary, decoration and bold exaggeration. The modeling and decorative art images of Chinese folk art are subjective, conceptual expressions, generalizations, decorations, and bold exaggerations (for more information, please refer to: The modeling characteristics and artistic language of Chinese folk paper-cut art). This coincides with the modeling requirements of plane imagery. Plane imagery is a sub-topic of design sketching, so it also requires analysis, summary, decoration and bold exaggeration of specific objects to form a new visual image. For example, when guiding students to observe the structure of the conch image, they are guided to temporarily use the traditional light and dark sketching method, and use the paper-cut plane modeling method to conceive the conch image, analyze, summarize, decorate and boldly exaggerate, and form it. The plane also has the visual image of visual space.
The training of graphic image in design sketch requires improvisation and creativity in students' creation, which is the same as the creation of paper-cutting. Guide students to fundamentally innovate their own thinking patterns in the creation of two-dimensional images. Seemingly unrelated, chaotic, and distant elements can become the main body of the picture. This kind of improvisation and creativity can allow students to find many things. The possibility of fresh visual imagery. Through continuous training, natural forms are weakened and mixed with each other in the work, and existing elements are used to constantly try and create new visual elements. Conceptually re-"shaping" is actually a requirement for personalization of the shape. It is a true sense ofConcepts and ideological expression training.
