Chinese Painting Cloud Water Act - Shu Cloud Volume Waves

Cloud water, as one of the most important skills of painting,has rich forms.It is a painting method showing the painter’s conception on the reflection and interpretation of natural cloud and water.The research of cloud water attempts to rediscover cloud water on the basis of traditional Chinese painting works in combination with literature documents.To be specific,it uses the change of cloud water in different period as a clue,analyses cloud water in different levels and angles on the skill level in order to clarify the real appearance of its development.In Wei Jin period, the aesthetic value of cloud water was constantly tapped by painters.It began to express intentions, created the atmosphere of described story situation, making cloud water play a huge role on the picture and visual appreciation; In Tang, five dynasties and Song dynasty,the language development of cloud water is relatively rapid. In the different phases of historical development,the change of cloud water is embodied in the fact of the language form of all kinds of cloud water.With the help of the painter group, the languages of all kinds of cloud water have been mature, reflected mutually and played a huge role in traditional Chinese painting art; In subsequent development, the change of cloud water showed in the appearance of different artistic styles.At this point, the techniques of cloud water have taken place in using some specific changes, expressed the painter’s aesthetic taste in different periods, making the traditional Chinese painting art have a more perfect artistic effect. In the era background of culture exchange between east and west in the20th century, cloud water is still changing.As the representative of the innovation of cloud water, Lv Yanshao had opened up a modern innovation path of cloud water between tradition and modern, east and west. Besides, he also created a strong personal style and image of cloud water, completed its modern transformation and become the model of artistic innovation.The purpose of the research of cloud water is to solve practical problems in the technique practice of cloud water and stress the modern innovation. According to the different technique characteristics and application scope, the using types of cloud water can be summarized as"story telling","picture adjusting" and"artistic style".The content contained together in the text of these three types constitutes the traditional techniques of cloud water, which provides a direction of the cultivation of practice ability. However, although the cultivation of basic skills is important, the training of drawing ability is under the service of the modern innovation.Therefore,the innovation of cloud water has the top priority in technique practice. Only by creating a form of modern aesthetic taste on the basis of traditional techniques can our technique practice be meaningful.The starting point of the research of cloud water contains such a point:the cloud water is a bridge, a path whose final purpose is to solve the present problems in technique practice in order to achieve artistic innovation of cloud water. Therefore cloud water should be put into the vision of art history and worth further research.
