The composition of New Year pictures pays attention to the eight-character formula! Truth, falsehood, emptiness, reality, substance, subjectivity, gathering and dispersion are the summary and principles of the composition of New Year pictures! These eight characters are the main principles on which painters base their composition and draft.
The so-called "truth" and "falsehood" refer to the question of using real objects or real scenes. The composition of New Year pictures can be roughly divided into two categories: one is panoramic and the other is live. Generally speaking, panoramic composition tends to be "real", that is, more physical objects and real scenes are used. ? For example, Zhao Zilong rode the Savior, charger, etc. alone. Make full use of physical objects, with mountains and water as the background, giving people a sense of reality. Improvised composition is a portrayal of the actual situation on the stage, and more of it follows the existing procedures of the opera stage, that is, it tends to be "false". For example, Back to Jingzhou: the scene composition is the stage scene record of Liu, Zhao and Sun in the play. The whip represents the war horse and the flag represents the chariot, and there is no setting.
The so-called virtual reality is the selection, addition and deletion of screen scenes. "Virtual" is to add something that is not in the actual performance to the work, so as to enhance the coherence of the story and the richness of the picture. For example, in Picking up the Jade Bracelet, the matchmaker Liu watched and peeped, and was caught in the spilled dog food by Fu and Sun without knowing it, which enhanced the comedy effect. "Reality" means deleting characters or props that artists think are irrelevant in stage performances. For example, in "San Niang Jiao Zi", the original spinning wheel on the right side of the stage was removed. This is to concentrate some scenes and achieve a streamlined effect.
The so-called "guest, host, gathering and parting" four words are about the respective positions and relationships of characters in New Year pictures. In a painting, the main character is in the center, the secondary character is in the side, and the secondary character sets off the main character. For example, the protagonists Huang Tianba and Dou Erdun in the cartoon live in the center of the picture, and the secondary characters stand in four corners, opening and closing, with emphasis on Huang and Dou. Summary: The eight-character formula of New Year pictures is "true, false, empty, real, material, subject, gathering and scattering". Do you remember? Welcome attention and praise.
