The reclusive dwelling is an important part of the traditional philosophical culture of ancient China.The Chinese spiritual imagery of reclusion is mainly represented by narrative mediums of poems,paintings,and garden works,resulting in artistic visualization with poetic implication.The article analyzed six Chinese landscape paintings of reclusive dwelling theme,in terms of narrative medium,visualization,and implication.The intention is to conclude the reclusive dwelling schema of Chinese landscape painting and study a visualizing methodology involved spiritual implication on dwelling,which could be beneficial to both contemporary art and architectural creations.

Discussing the Teaching of Impressionist Chinese Painting in the Context of Art and Cultural History

Ink freehand brushwork is the soul and the highest level of artistic spirit in art categories such as painting and sculpture.Sculpture art and Chinese ink painting art have their own commonalities.I attempted to investigate the stone carvings of Huo Qubing’s tomb in the Western Han Dynasty,combined with Tang Dynasty tomb carvings,which greatly helped me in the creation of Chinese ink painting art.I drew inspiration and nutrients from it,and realized what is art.What is the spirit of art?You can find the answer from it.

The Marriage of Marianne Moore to The Tao of Chinese Painting

Marianne Moore was a modernist poet greatly influenced by Chinese art and the Taoist aesthetic.Her passion for Chinese culture never ceased to grow from her earliest contact with the Chinese paintings and artwork introduced to the western countries in the early 20th century.Her early poem entitled "The Fish" and a later one entitled "Tell me,Tell me" serve as two typical examples to show the marriage of Chinese elements to her American poetic ideas.

Non-Photorealistic Rendering in Chinese Painting of Animals

A set of algorithms is proposed in this paper to automatically transform 3D animal models to Chinese painting style. Inspired by real painting process in Chinese painting of animals, we divide the whole rendering process into two parts: borderline stroke making and interior shading. In borderline stroke making process we first find 3D model silhouettes in real-time depending on the viewing direction of a user. After retrieving silhouette information from all model edges, a stroke linking mechanism is applied to link these independent edges into a long stroke. Finally we grow a plain thin silhouette line to a stylus stroke with various widths at each control point and a 2D brush model is combined with it to simulate a Chinese painting stroke. In the interior shading pipeline, three stages are used to convert a Gouraud-shading image to a Chinese painting style image: color quantization, ink diffusion and box filtering. The color quantization stage assigns all pixels in an image into four color levels and each level represents a color layer in a Chinese painting. Ink diffusion stage is used to transfer inks and water between different levels and to grow areas in an irregular way. The box filtering stage blurs sharp borders between different levels to embellish the appearance of final interior shading image. In addition to automatic rendering, an interactive Chinese painting system which is equipped with friendly input devices can be also combined to generate more artistic Chinese painting images manually.

Application of Chinese Landscape Painting Ambience in Modern Residential Landscape

Planning and design of modern residential landscapes in China has experienced rapid growth, but many residential areas have simulated western landscape designs and lost the ambience of traditional Chinese landscape painting, and the designs have shown poor diversity, artistic quality or unification of landscapes and environmental effects. Hence, the paper proposed that modern residential landscape design should be integrated with Chinese landscape painting factors, and the concept of "human-nature oneness" should be demonstrated to create garden landscapes suitable for appreciating, sightseeing, living and enjoying, and also living spaces with picturesque scenery. Through analyzing landscape designs of "Century Sunshine Garden" in Hefei City, Anhui Province, the study explored the integration of modern residential landscapes and Chinese landscape painting ambience, so as to create green, ecological, healthy, practical landscapes for modern residential areas.

Charm and Beauty——A Comparison of Two Aesthetic Categories in Chinese and Western Paintings

Aesthetics in China is different from that in the West which is centered on the logical approach to the concept of "beauty," and is highly typified by chewing, tasting, and pondering, a process full of intuition and contemplation. Instead of "beauty," "charm" is the central category in Chinese painting, presenting a different aesthetic system from that in the western world.

The Reproduction of Chinese Painting in the Digital Age

This paper investigates the reproduction of Chinese painting in the digital age. In particular, how does a website asan interface influence viewers’ response to a Chinese handscroll? The paper begins with a critical description of aweb interface of Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, followed by an analysis of the originalpainting. Fishermen on an Autumn River, that the interface digitizes and displays. The last section points out theinfluence of digitization on the relationship between viewers and digital heritage.

The Changes of Chinese Painting Tools and the Combination of Water

The evolution of tools plays a very important role in promoting the development of a kind of painting and can even shape the development.In the process of the development of Chinese painting,the emergence and improvement of writing brush and xuan paper have directly led to the reform of the categories and methods of Chinese painting.During this period,the relationship between Chinese painting art and the medium of water is getting closer and closer.The uncontrollability of water also provides more possibilities for the uniqueness and changeable pen and ink effect of Chinese painting.It can be said that without the unique tools and medium of Chinese painting,the art of Chinese painting may lose its most important support.

Presentation and Analysis of Postmodernist Artistic Characteristics of Chinese Paintings

The style of Chinese Paintings reflects more obvious artistic characteristics of"beauty of artistic conception"and"beauty of space".However,analyzed fromthe perspective of"beauty of artistic conception",the root of beauty of artistic conception lies in the hierarchical guidance on aesthetic perspective,psychology and thinking,ultimately leading to the continuous widening of the artistic space embodied in Chinese paintings and leaving appreciators extensive artistic imagination.While the artistic style of postmodern paintings emphasizes the abstractness of thinking as the basis and impels intuitive motivation of aesthetic perspective and psychology via the abstractness of aesthetic thinking,thus fully reflecting the postmodernist artistic characteristics of Chinese painting,and meanwhile continuously sublimating the artistic values implied in Chinese paintings.

GPU-based 3D model rendering of chinese ink painting

In computer graphics, non-photorealistic rendering(NPR) is an important branch. NPR technology is to achieve a variety of artistic effects through the computer, such as oil painting, cartoon, watercolor and other effects. The purpose of this paper is to automatically convert the 3D model into two-dimensional Chinese ink painting effect on graphics processing unit(GPU), and has improved the traditional algorithm that has some lacks of rendering effect. The algorithm is divided into two major steps: contour line rendering, and interior rendering. For contour line rendering, on the basis of the traditional extraction of contours, this paper adds self-bold, particle diffusion and other steps. For interior rendering, on the basis of the traditional layered rendering of diffuse lighting, two methods are added. The first method is based on the mean filtering, and the filter kernel is stratified by the principle of percentage-closer soft shadows(PCSS). The second method is Noise texture mapping, to obtain an ink diffusion effect.
