Yuhe Group 18406900006 engraving micro-carving techniques

Microscopic carving is a general term for carving techniques that are known for their tiny details and is an independent branch of carving techniques. Common types include
micro-carving,
micro-painting,
micro-painted carving,
core carving,
bone carving and
micro-carving, etc.
b China has a long history of microscopic sculpture. As far back as the Yin and Shang dynasties, miniature carvings appeared in oracle bone inscriptions. During the Warring States period, the seals were as small as millet, but the seals were red and white. The well-known "Nuclear Boat" by Wang Shuyuan is also a classic of miniature sculpture art in Chinese history.
b The art of seal cutting edge is the foundation for the emergence and development of micro-carving art. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many literati have used iron pens to inscribe and paint in the small space of the seal to express their interest and entertain themselves. After Shoushan stone became a seal material, the art of micro-carving of Shoushan stone began to appear. In the early Qing Dynasty, Yang Xuan and Zhou Bin both carved small characters in out-of-the-way patterns on Shoushan stone carvings. Lin Qingqing, a master sculptor of the Ximen Boyi School, often carved his name with extremely fine strokes in the grass and stone crevices of his carved works. and the date of production. Later, some people would carve ancient poems as margins with extremely fine characters on the four sides of the square pillar of the seal.
b In the 20th century, with the application of advanced scientific instruments such as magnifying glasses in the field of microscopic sculpture, the art of microscopic sculpture has become a unique new art. The text engraved in the works is getting smaller and smaller, and the content is getting larger and larger.
In the b century, the emergence of micro-painting and sculpture was an aspect of the development of micro-sculpture art, such as the Chushan micro-painting and sculpture school and so on. Micro-engraved characters are also paying more and more attention to the effect of calligraphy. Among them, the Eight Great Engravings of Huai Zen and so on are attracting attention.
b For a time, the flowers of subtle art bloomed everywhere in China like brilliant stars.
b Take teacher Guo Yueming as an example, from Pingshan County, Sichuan Province. He is a first-class folk arts and crafts artist awarded by UNESCO, a member of the China International Painting and Calligraphy Artists Association, a lifelong honorary professor of the Chinese Calligraphy and Painting Artists Art Creation Center, deputy director of Sanxitang Hou Mingming Art Museum, honorary president of the International Xizhi Painting and Calligraphy Academy, Panzhihua City President of the Hard Pen Calligraphy Association, executive vice president of Panzhihua Hard Pen Calligraphy Art School, executive deputy editor of the Hard Pen Calligraphy and Painting Newspaper, and vice president of the Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting Academy of the Chinese Poetry and Wine Association.
b Guo Yueming has been fond of studying calligraphy, painting, and playing the piano since he was a child, and has a strong interest in traditional national culture. At the age of 18, Guo Yueming avoided the hustle and bustle of the world and began to indulge in Chuanrong culture and art, systematically studying calligraphy, painting, sculpture and seal cutting skills. He drew on the strengths of many schools of thought and absorbed the charm of each style, thus forming his own calm, elegant, stern and aggressive style.
In 2008, with his brush and fountain pen skills, he turned to micro-calligraphy, micro-carving, and micro-engraving. After years of exploration, he integrated Chinese qigong and Chinese painting, calligraphy, and lettering skills into one furnace. Micro calligraphy, micro carving, and micro engraving are integrated into one, uniquely possessing the charm of subtle art. It first held up the wave of fine art full of novelty and mystery in the sea of art.
In b, his first hard-pen calligraphy work, a small fan with micro-script, was selected into China's first hard-pen calligraphy exhibition in Japan, and was later collected by Nippon Shodo.
In year b, he wrote a Chinese character with a pen on a piece of paper measuring . Records of the miniature calligrapher Eman Layopou of Hungary. In this work, under a magnifying glass more than ten times, the spacing between words and lines is clear, and the fonts are vigorous and clear.
b Our teacher believes that subtle art is both valuable and difficult, because it is not only about the subtlety, but also must reproduce the artistic spirit and charm in the subtlety. Every piece of fine art is successful based on the basic skills, and at the same time, it is also filled with hard work and sweat.
b He hopes that our new generation of micro-carving artists can achieve success in their studies, but does not expect to be opportunistic in art. He hopes that our works will one day be recognized by society, and he is ashamed to deceive the world and steal reputation with kitsch works. To this day, he is still immersed in hard work in his small room, no matter the morning or dusk, so-called winter and summer, he is constantly cultivating in the field full of vitality of fine art, regardless of the harvest or the so-called personal fame and fortune. Indifferent and tranquil, enduring loneliness and detachment from others, and endlessly seeking for themselves, this is a true portrayal of the academic life of Chinese miniature carving artists.
b Generally speaking, wood carving people all have their own knife skills that they are good at, except for the basic knife-handling techniques. As long as beginners are familiar with the two different uses of flat knives and round knives, they can quickly learn how to use them. Master knife skills. Let me first emphasize the importance of the knife-holding posture. Whether it is correct or not will not only affect the smooth progress of the engraving operation, but also cause safety problems. Then, in the rough stage of cutting a large amount of wood, we mainly use a hammer to work with the knife. The knife is held in a fist-like posture. When the carving is pushed outward or when digging deeply, the center of the fist can be downward. When the carving is inward, When pushing forward, you can make the fist with the center of your fist pointing upward. When you want to cut off the wood grain strands when engraving the contour, you can make the fist with the center of your fist inward or outward. You can master these three methods flexibly. If the tool is carved too deep, do not shake the handle to pull it out, otherwise the edge will crack or peel. Use another tool and slightly chip away at the wood around the tool until it can be shaken. When engraving reaches the fine blank and smoothing stage, we mainly use tools for engraving work. One is to hold the tool with both hands, such as: holding the upper end of the tool handle with the right hand, pinching the upper part of the tool bar with the left hand, and slowly pushing towards the right hand. . The other is to hold the knife in the right hand like a pen, but the ring finger and little finger should be pressed against the carving and the knife should be moved forward to control the sharp knife. Pay attention to the position of your left hand. When making small round sculptures, the left hand holding the work should be placed behind and below the right hand. One end of the work can be pressed against the workbench. When making relief carvings, in order to hold the board, the left hand should be away from the tool of the right hand. Or put it behind your right hand. Because of the hard wood of the boxwood carvings in Wenzhou, people often have to use their shoulder blades to hold the handle of the knife forward when moving the knife forward. For soft wood, tapping the tool with the palm of your right hand is enough to remove a small amount of wood.
Flat knife block surface method: Mainly when chiseling the blank, a flat knife is used to cut out the outline and structural parts of the work
To give it a rough and powerful axe-cleaving feeling
, so the sword movement must be steady, accurate, and ruthless. It must be powerful, consistent, and refreshing. Each sword must speak for itself and achieve the final effect of the work. The application process of the flat knife block surface method is actually a process of modeling various complex shapes using simple abstract geometric shapes. This process can reduce every shape, every bone, and muscle into large and small squares, rectangles, Trapezoid, rhombus. Therefore, the author is required to have solid basic modeling skills and the ability to embody natural shapes. The flat knife block surface method can be combined with some round knives throughout the entire carving process to form the final artistic effect. It can also be used only in the initial stage of carving to handle large shapes, and then use other knife methods to make changes from square to round. Rich and detailed characterization.
b Round knife carving method and arrangement method: Since the circular knife cutting method is not certain, the outline of the carved shape is relatively vague, and the concave and convex feeling produced is relatively clear, so it is very suitable for exploring and expressing the texture and texture effects of various objects. , as the bottom surface treatment of the relief, commonly known as the hemp base, it is also an excellent expression technique that plays a foil role. The round knife carving method uses large and small irregular concave and convex to form a volume, and creates a natural, rich and simple aesthetic feeling on the surface. If combined with a flat knife, one hand is smooth and delicate, such as human skin, and the other hand is rough and astringent, such as human hair, clothing, etc., then the two will form a strong texture contrast, making the work rich and interesting. expressiveness. The circular knife arrangement method has the same meaning as the carving method, but the author must consciously arrange the knife methods to produce a certain decorative and textural effect.
