In the construction of a city, stone crafts are indispensable. Perhaps walking on the road, you can see stone art of different styles, including characters and animals. Some people will only notice the overall style, but Not many people pay attention to the base of stone art. In fact, the base plays a considerable role in shaping a successful stone art.
1. The positional relationship between the main body of the stone crafts and the base. As the name implies, the base should be at the bottom of the main body of the stone art, just like the foundation to be laid before building a house. The foundation supports the whole house just like the base supports the entire main body of the stone art. The base unifies the whole shape and at the same time ensures the stability of the stone art.
2. The relationship between the main body of the stone crafts and the base in terms of volume. In terms of volume, in order to highlight the main body, we must control the volume of the base, so as not to overwhelm the main body. The volume of the stone art base of general figures is very small. For example, the size of the base of a large figure is only 15 cm high and about 60 cm long and wide. Only in this way can the main body of the character be highlighted. Of course, if you want to shape the stone art of a great man, you have to make adjustments, because the stone art of a great man has its special identity and status and is admired by people. Generally, it is placed in an empty square space, which is like a large-scale In order to achieve coordination with the surrounding space environment, the urban stone art needs an appropriate price and a larger base. On the one hand, it highlights the tall image of the great man, and on the other hand, it meets the needs of the volume of the entire large space.
3. The physical relationship between the main body of the stone crafts and the base. In the treatment of the main body of the stone art and the shape of the base, the base, as a functional body that sets off the main body of the stone art, must give full play to its foil role in the treatment of the shape. For a stone work to highlight the rich and varied shapes of the stone art itself, in addition to the background of the environment, another key is the base. The shape of the base should be changed in accordance with the shape of the main body of the stone art. When the shape of the main body of the stone art is relatively simple, the shape of the base should not be more complicated than that of the main body. In this case, the base generally chooses a simple cube or cuboid. When the shape of the stone art subject is rich and changeable, the base can be adjusted appropriately according to the needs of the subject, and the relationship can be coordinated. If the richness or complexity of the shape of the base exceeds the main body of the stone art, this will make the main body of the stone art unable to attract the attention of viewers, and such a stone art work will lose its meaning of existence.
