It is said that "jade cannot be made into a useful object without being carved". This means that a good ornament requires careful design and conception by the jade carver, who carves the jade material piece by piece. Without the engraver's processing So no matter how good the color and texture of this jadeite raw stone is, it can only be called a "beautiful stone". Only after it is cut, peeled, and flawed, carefully carved, cleverly designed, and carefully polished, can it be called a jadeite artwork that everyone loves. The selection of materials for the faces of the characters is also very particular, especially the absence of variegated colors, spots, and cracks. The movements should be natural, the faces of women should be beautiful, and the faces of men should be majestic, that is, the faces should be delicate and correct. The structures of birds and animals, flowers, plants, fish and insects should be reasonable, and the exaggerated images of Buddhas and gods should be kind and dignified. Finally, polishing is done in place and polished carefully. To make the carvings more crystal clear and have the noble temperament of jade. Of course, inferior jade is not finely crafted, and high-quality jade must be finely crafted. This is also the processing principle determined by the quality of jade. These usually do not change. The round parts should be round, the square parts should be square, the thin parts should be thin, and the thick parts should be thick. This will make the lines look natural and make the whole sculpture more attractive. Another important point is the shape It is three-dimensional, including the outline of the figure and the thickness of the object space. Whether the structure is reasonable and the overall proportion is appropriate is not just as simple as the appearance. In short, beautiful shapes will definitely make people feel visually balanced, natural and comfortable. For example, if you carve a figure but it has a big head and a small body and the overall shape is not coordinated, it is difficult for people to have the desire to buy it. Therefore, the object is required to be stable and balanced, and the figure is dynamic and vivid, so that the whole work looks natural and smooth, so as to express the natural beauty of jade. Do you know why old craftsmanship is more valuable than modern craftsmanship? Because people nowadays are too eager for utilitarianism and practicality. They are unwilling to spend a long time carving a jade art piece, but are eager to make more money and pay less. Therefore, they are often careless and produce carvings that are neither fish nor fowl. In the past, people worked meticulously, devoted their efforts, and were willing to spend a lot of time creating works of art that were liked by dignitaries, which is why fine art has been passed down for hundreds of years. fcgc66 fcpf18 |
