A garden is an artistic ecological cultural landscape built in a place after people plan and design the natural environment. stone mountain carving are part of the overall layout of the garden and an important part of the garden's composition. Its unique external form and inclusive connotation make it more compatible with garden buildings, green spaces, trees and flowers.
As a part of plastic arts, stone mountain carving shows its artistic charm to people with its unique language. It can bring visual impact to people with unique images, express profound meanings with rich connotations, and create imagination with abstract shapes. Creating a good stone mountain carving is not an easy task. It requires creators to be familiar not only with the subject knowledge of gardening, but also with knowledge of shape, color, environment, composition, material, etc.
In recent years, people have paid more attention to stone mountain carving than quantity, and stone sculptors and designers have pursued higher levels in the form, content and materials of their works. Abstract
stone sculpture with bright colors and simple shapes have become a new trend in environmental stone sculpture creation in recent years. The coexistence of realistic, decorative and abstract art works enriches the diversity of landscape art. So, what issues should be paid attention to when setting up stone mountain carving? I talk about it from three aspects.
1. When carving stone mountains, you should pay attention to color, light and shadow.
Color, light and shadow are necessary to create an atmosphere. In the environment, whether the colors used in stone sculpture are in harmony with the surrounding environment will bring different feelings to people. Placing brightly colored stone sculpture on a green lawn will give people a striking and clear feeling, while placing dimly colored stone sculpture will give people a heavy and simple feeling. In addition, warm colors have a sense of expansion and movement, while cool colors have a sense of contraction and stillness, so you should also pay attention to them.
The stone sculpture are located outdoors and are greatly affected by natural light. Every year, every season, every hour, the light is different. As a light source, when the sun, moon or light shines on the stone sculpture, it will change the image and volume of the stone sculpture. Therefore, the effect of beautifying the environment will be different in different places. In stone mountain carving, factors such as the lighting level of the surrounding environment and the direction of the light source must be combined to create rich shapes.
2. stone mountain carving should pay attention to the integration with nature
Gardening itself is a natural art, and natural beauty is the core of gardening beauty. Garden materials are rich and diverse, and wood, stone, glass, cast copper, and steel are all common
stone carving materials. The ancients repeatedly emphasized the principles of "random scenery", "environment driven", and "what you want, follow the shape" in garden management. It is in the process of considering the conception of stone mountain carving that we must combine the two basic factors of its function and natural environment to achieve an organic integration with nature.
3. stone mountain carving should pay attention to the affinity with people
As a place for people to rest, sightsee, and engage in activities, gardens are an indispensable part of modern cities. They provide people with a "pleasant place", and their space and landscape themselves should be recreational. Therefore, when choosing topics for stone mountain carving, we should pay attention to relaxing and pleasant themes. Stone sculpture sketches usually use exaggerated small animals or anthropomorphic sketches as the main scenes in small spaces. They use exaggerated techniques to enlarge some ordinary things, arouse people's strong interest and curiosity, and create a humorous and interesting environment. At the same time, some life-size stone sculpture of figures were placed in the garden. Most of these character stone sculpture reflect ordinary people in life, with natural movements. This technique shortens the distance between the environment and people, increasing the intimacy of the landscape.
