Abstract

The primary purpose of this paper is to construct a new idea of modern ceramic design through the forms in Chinese landscape painting. Chinese landscape painting is an essential part of Chinese culture, and its unique painting language system and artistic charm make it a typical representative of Oriental art. Among them, the natural landscape form has been one of the enduring creative themes of artists, with various forms of artistic expression.
The article discusses the landscape forms in painting, analyzes the combination of landscape forms in artworks and ceramic creation, blends traditional culture with modern aesthetics, and tries to find a new way of artistic expression.
Since the variety of landscape applications in traditional Chinese painting is too complicated, this thesis takes Wang Ximeng’s A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains as an example, analyzes its artistic characteristics from three significant elements: shape, composition and color, and expresses them in a modern creative language to design a contemporary ceramic work in line with traditional Chinese characteristics.
