Jade carving, commonly known as jade ware, has a long history. Jade pendants appeared in China during the Neolithic Period, and the jade carving skills of the Shang Dynasty were relatively mature. There are dozens of jade carving materials, such as white jade, jasper, sapphire, black jade, jadeite, crystal, agate, topaz, single jade, Xiuyu, etc. Yinchuan Abstract sculpture Because the jade itself is fine, hard and warm, or white as cream, or green and green, bright and lovely color, suitable for making valuable decorations. As for the production of jade, most people think it is carved with a carving knife, but it is not. Abstract sculpture Price The jade is hard, and the carving knife cannot cut it into it. Instead, it is polished by various shapes of drill bits, emery and water, depending on the shape of the work. Therefore, it takes a long time to complete a jade carving.
Auxiliary tools for wood carving: mainly hammer, wood file, axe and saw. The purpose of the axe is to cut a large amount of wood with the help of paring. Pay attention not to use too much force when cutting. Do not cut straight up and down. The edge of the axe should be kept at about 45 degrees with the vertical wood grain, otherwise the wood will crack. Hainan GRC component wood file is mainly used in the fine blank stage of round carving, which can replace the flat knife to smooth the chisel marks for polishing; It can also take the place of round knife or oblique knife for hollowing. The function of the wood file is also that it can quickly adjust the modeling structure in a large area, and can be used in combination with the carving knife to make the turning and turning of the figure's clothing patterns vivid and smooth, with both virtual and real effects. The shape of hammers for wooden sculptures in Hainan is flat, flat, wide and square. The dimension of hammer face can be controlled at about 7 × 5.5 × 2.5 cm. Too narrow or too thick will affect the accuracy of the hammer's landing point and the uniformity of force. There are two kinds of hammers: wooden hammers and iron hammers. The wooden hammers generally use hardwoods with a large proportion of wood, such as mahogany, boxwood, sandalwood, beech and fruit trees. The specifications can be controlled at 27 cm in length, 55 cm in width and 45 cm in thickness; The grip is round and slightly flat, and the size is suitable for holding in the hand.
Sculpture art is a kind of plastic arts, also called sculpture, which is the general name of three creation methods of sculpture, carving and sculpture. It refers to the art of using various plastic materials (such as gypsum, resin, clay, etc.) or hard materials (such as wood, stone, metal, jade, agate, etc.) that can be carved or carved to create a visual and touchable artistic image with a certain space to reflect social life and express artists' aesthetic feelings, emotions, and ideals. It is diverse, so the law of development has different ups and downs. For example, the bronze ware manufacturing and decorative carving in the Yin and Zhou Dynasties in China were unmatched by future generations. The themes of the Han Dynasty's stone reliefs fully reflect the real life at that time. The sculptures in the Tang and Song dynasties certainly exceeded those in the Han Dynasty, but the works of the Tang and Song dynasties never fully reflected the reality as the Han Dynasty stone reliefs did. The handicraft industry and commerce in the Ming Dynasty were improved compared with those in the Tang and Song Dynasties, but few sculptures in the Ming Dynasty fully displayed the characteristics of each work as in the Song Dynasty. Although the sculpture of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as that of the Tang and Song Dynasties, other artistic achievements of the previous dynasties are naturally behind.
Circular sculpture, also known as three-dimensional sculpture, refers to non compressed three-dimensional sculpture that can be viewed from multiple directions and angles. Sculpture is the overall expression of art on the sculpture. The viewer can see all sides of the object from different angles. It requires the sculptor to carve from the front, back, left, right, top, middle and bottom. The techniques and forms of round sculpture are also varied, including realistic and decorative, concrete and abstract, indoor and outdoor, shelf and large city sculpture, colored and non colored, etc; The contents and themes of the sculptures are also rich and colorful, which can be characters, animals or even still life; The materials are more colorful, including stone, wood, metal, clay, gypsum, textiles, paper, plants, rubber, etc. It is mostly used in fountains, gardens and indoors. Because the round sculpture works are very three-dimensional, vivid, lifelike and vivid, the selection of stone materials is strict. First of all, we should design the shape of the sculpture, and pay special attention to the fact that the sculpture must have a proper proportion with the real object from length to width to thickness.
