Computational Approaches for Traditional Chinese Painting: From the “Six Principles of Painting” Perspective

Traditional Chinese painting(TCP)is an invaluable cultural heritage resource and a unique visual art style.In recent years,there has been a growing emphasis on the digitalization of TCP for cultural preservation and revitalization.The resulting digital copies have enabled the advancement of computational methods for a structured and systematic understanding of TCP.To explore this topic,we conduct an in-depth analysis of 94 pieces of literature.We examine the current use of computer technologies on TCP from three perspectives,based on numerous conversations with specialists.First,in light of the“Six Principles of Painting”theory,we categorize the articles according to their research focus on artistic elements.Second,we create a four-stage framework to illustrate the purposes of TCP applications.Third,we summarize the popular computational techniques applied to TCP.This work also provides insights into potential applications and prospects,with professional opinion.

Classroom Teaching Evaluation of Chinese Painting as a Form of Fine Arts in Rural Junior High Schools

Teaching evaluation is an indispensable part of the teaching system of junior high school.In order to inherit the excellent traditional Chinese culture and arts,traditional Chinese painting has been paid more and more attention to in the fine arts curriculum of rural junior high school.This paper takes the classroom teaching evaluation of traditional Chinese painting as a form of fine arts in rural junior high school as the research object,and analyzes the problems existing in the classroom teaching evaluation of traditional Chinese painting in rural junior high school.This paper puts forward the corresponding improvement measures from the aspects of comprehensive evaluation object,concrete evaluation content,flexible evaluation language and diversified evaluation subjects,in order to improve the evaluation level of fine arts teachers'classroom teaching,improve students'aesthetic cognition and learning interest in traditional Chinese painting,and cultivate students'innovative thinking and spirit.

Aesthetic style transferring method based on deep neural network between Chinese landscape painting and classical private garden's virtual scenario

Most of the existing virtual scenarios built for the digital protection of Chinese classical private gardens are too modern in expression style to show the aesthetic significance of their historical period.Considering the aesthetic commonality between traditional Chinese landscape paintings and classical private gardens and referring to image style transfer,here,a deep neural network was proposed to transfer the aesthetic style from landscape paintings to the virtual scenario of classical private gardens.The network consisted of two parts:style prediction and style transfer.The style prediction network was used to obtain style representation from style paintings,and the style transfer network was used to transfer style representation to the content scenario.The pre-trained network was then embedded into the scenario rendering pipeline and combined with the screen post-processing method to realise the stylised expression of the virtual scenario.To verify the feasibility of this methodology,a virtual scenario of the Humble Administrator’s Garden was used as the content scenario andfive garden landscape paintings from different time periods and painting styles were selected for the case study.The results demonstrated that this methodology could effectively achieve the aesthetic style transfer of a virtual scenario.

Spotless, Jade-like Personality (traditional Chinese painting)

The interpretation of the traditional Chinese paintings done by Xie Lijun vividly expresses a woman’s tolerance and silence. In traditional Chinese paintings black is the main component and the function of the color red is only to provide a striking contrast, so it is only used occasionally. On the contrary, in "Spotless. ,Jade-Like Personality." the color red is the main color in the painting. So different from its usual function, the red set against the quiet internal world passes from the expression of the figure’s eyes. The red color adds more elegance and inlplicit meaning to the work.

Zhang Leiping's Traditional Chinese Paintings

Though small and graceful, Zhang Leiping has a painting style that is straightforward and unconstrained. "Usually, I’m timid," she says. "But once I have the pointing brush in my hand, I become very bold." Inspired from within, this woman painter’s work is a natural revelation; her paint gives artistic life to the mountains, rivers, grasses and trees of her motherland.
