Expression And Connotation Of Line In Painting

Painting is a form of language expression that communicates through images.Line is an important element in the language form.Chinese painters put special emphasis on lines,and consider lines as the main rendering and performance tools.Movement in a certain style,if there is a tendency to destroy the integrity of a single line,or to put the line into the area of processing,will usually be regarded as a heresy of separation from the mainstream.Line can reflect people's emotional changes,reflect the personality characteristics and aesthetic orientation.It can express different speed,different intensity and different rhythm in different forms such as fluency,astringency,merits and so on.Line is also subjective in the form of expression.The painter can subjectively organize line drawing image according to their own different environment and innerfeelings,and create a shocking broad-minded work.From the visual physiological point of view,people's observation is scanning.Or from top to bottom,or from left to right,this kind of observation is often started from the outer contour of the object,and this kind of scanning observation in virtually forms a kind of invisible "line".It is through this invisible line that the painter creates an image in the brain and expresses it in the medium of painting.So,image is the line through the organization relationship to express meaning.Line in geometry refers to a point of arbitrary movement composed of graphics,and those graphics which are different in length and width intersperse and combine with each other to form a painting system,which makes the picture content can be well connected in series,bringing life to the picture.Chinese traditional painting is an oriental art which relies on line drawing as a means of expression.Since ancient society,Chinese painting has been the only kind of painting that people call art.Its expression means of line drawing profoundly influences the aesthetic thought of Chinese traditional culture,which is reflected in all aspects of traditional life.From ancient rock painting,pottery painting,mural painting,silk painting in the pre-Qin dynasty,silk painting in the Han and Tang dynasties,paper painting in the Ming and Qing dynasties,its " line factor" has gradually become mature and confident from humble and childish.However,Chinese aesthetic thought and Chinese cultural heritage contained in the traditional painting have not changed.In the development of Chinese painting,from " finishing touch" to " Wu sample",from " eighteen strokes" to painters' pen and ink taste,Chinese painting " line image" in constant change always adheres to its core " not easy" rules of procedure.Because the Chinese and western culture background and aesthetic concepts are different,so the line's unique artistic characteristics for the Chinese and western painting are also different.As a meaningful form,lines have many characteristics,such as decoration,emotion,times and nationality.And these different characteristics show the different forms of line in painting.Deferred imitation,which is widely used and promoted in the oriental nation,is the basic modelling technique of ancient art and has been further developed in China,India,Japan and other countries.They are not the direct sketch of the object image,but after observing the depicted things,seeing with eyesand learning by heart,and then painted,using line-based image modeling to depict the object image,to achieve a form to write the highest state of god.While in the western painting creation,lines mainly take the role of realistic description,through the rational use of lines to show the almost real scene,give the audience a sense of immersive.
