stone carving of stone crafts is as important as stone carving because the basis is stone carving and stages. The basic design is not only connected to the ground environment, but also to the stone sculpture itself. Good basic design can increase the expressive effect of stone sculpture and can also coordinate the stone sculpture and ground environment with the surrounding environment. There are four basic types of basic designs: monument type, seat type, table type and flat type.
Most of them refer to the fact that the height of the stone sculpture exceeds the height of the plastic, and it is dominated by architectural factors. The stone sculpture design is almost a complete memorial subject, and the stone sculpture is just the starting point. Therefore, monument design is an important content. For example, the Harbin Flood Control Victory Monument is a Western classical column with a round brass waist transition treatment to achieve a unified effect between the upper end carving and the lower relief carving.
This means that the ratio of the stone sculpture itself to the height of the stone sculpture is basically similar to 1:1. This proportion is one of the key styles of the Classical stone sculpture period. This proportion allows the artistic image of the stone carving to be fully and appropriately expressed.
stone crafts used to be used in classical style. Classical stone sculpture use xumizuo, with very strict and dignified proportions and composition. The stone sculpture group in the square in front of the Agricultural Exhibition Hall is a simplified classical Xumizuo, but this kind of stone sculpture is increasingly used in contemporary stone crafts.
Overseas, the main techniques are the column foundation techniques of ancient Greece, Rome and the Renaissance, as well as the three-section composition of classical foundations, walls and eaves. The foundations of many classical stone monuments evolved from these structures. The foundations of the Watt Monument in England and the Goethe and Schiller Monuments in Germany all evolved from the classical style.
Contemporary stone sculpture should be simpler. To meet the characteristics of contemporary environmental design and architectural cultural environment.
This means that the ratio of stone sculpture height to stone sculpture height is 1:00. Below, a flat structure of stone sculpture is shown. The expressive effect of this kind of stone carving is unparalleled.
stone crafts refer to stone carving methods that do not require stone carving treatment and are not exposed. Because it is usually installed on the square ground, grass or water. It looks more casual, easier, and easier to integrate with the environment.
Although the design of stone crafts is summarized into the above four categories, they must be mastered proficiently in actual design practice.
