Plane composition and pattern design

Art design is an important part of human civilization, covering all areas of contemporary human life, and it has increasingly demonstrated its significance. The teaching practice and theoretical research of the plane structure and traditional basic patterns as the basis of design art has triggered the academic discussion of whether the plane structure replaces the traditional basic pattern or coexists with each other.

The appearance of the word plane formation and the introduction of the basic curriculum of art and design are indeed a milestone in the art design major of China's higher art academies. Plane composition is a common design language. It has been applied to various arts and design categories in today's society. Plane composition is the same as other applied design disciplines. It is designed to perfect and create design theories and expressions that give more modernity. The plane is structured with a brand-new concept of style, which injects fresh blood into our art design classroom. The integration of high technology greatly expands the visual aesthetic field of design art, and enriches the design thinking and presentation methods. Compared with the traditional basic pattern, it is not only a huge impact. For a time, it has greatly replaced the traditional basic patterns. Traditional basic patterns are in jeopardy. Indeed, the emergence of the plane structure has also forced us to reflect on the long-standing tradition. .

The plane structure is built on the basis of modern aesthetics of science and technology. It synthesizes achievements in modern physics, optics, mathematics, psychology, aesthetics, and many other fields, brings fresh conceptual elements, and it has been successfully applied in many fields of art and design. It cannot but become a necessary way for the foundation of modern art design.

New things always have strong vitality, but traditional things also have its existence value. Our understandings and concepts have also gone through several waves and a few waves. We have quietly retired from the basic pattern courses and returned to the classroom. We have also undergone continuous reforms and adjustments, and gradually broke the traditional model of designing basic courses. Closed for the current pluralistic and open situation. Based on the coexistence of the basic pattern courses and the plane structure, combined with the actual situation in various aspects, many colleges and universities have opened a series of courses such as: black and white patterns, decorative patterns, decorative paintings, graphic ideas and so on. The practical results show that plane structures and patterns (where the patterns cover the above-mentioned non-planar series of courses) have their own advantages, and they have similarities and differences. Due to the characteristics of their respective advantages, they cannot be replaced with each other, and thus there is also a basis for coexistence. From the perspective of the terminal of the teaching result and the educated student, it is very necessary to go through a series of courses such as composition and design. Through learning, different aesthetic experience and emotional experience can be obtained, a variety of thinking methods can be trained, and creative vision and creative techniques can be expanded to better serve the society.

Composition is a modern modeling concept. Its meaning refers to regrouping more than one unit with different or same forms into a new unit, which constitutes the main form of the object, including natural form, geometric form, and abstract form. And give it a visualized, mechanized concept. The plane composition is a two-dimensional visual grammar. The main forms of composition include repetition, approximation, transformation, variation, comparison, assembly, emission, specificity, spatial and contradictory space, segmentation, texture, illusion, and so on.

The understanding of plane structure originates from the development of natural science and philosophical epistemology. Microcosmic epistemology based on the latest development of quantum mechanics in the 20th century, people pay more attention to the internal structure of things, this kind of macro-recognition to the deepening of micro-cognition. It also affected the development of the laws of plastic arts. The concept of composition can be said to have its shadow as early as in Western painting. Such as cubist painting, Russian constructivism, Dutch neo-modelism, they all advocated abandoning the traditional realism, expressed in an abstract form, and the continual perfection and development of the German Bauhaus Design Institute to form a complete modern design. The basic training teaching system lays the position and role of constructive design concept in modern design training and application. Since the 1970s, the plane structure has been used as a design basis and has been widely used in industrial design, architectural design, graphic design, fashion design, stage art, visual transmission and so on.

According to its meaning and characteristics, the traditional patterning arts refer to the interpretation of the arts and crafts artist Lei Guiyuan of China. “The pattern is the pre-design of form, color, and structure in practical art, decorative arts, architectural arts, and industrial arts. In the process, material, use, economic, beautiful, solid and other conditions under the restrictions made of plans, models, decorative patterns and other programs collectively." In a narrow sense, patterns can also be called decorative patterns. It can be seen that the biggest difference between the pattern and the plane is that the plane structure completely abandons the practical purpose, such as function, material, process and other factors, the morphology is relatively far away from the figurative, and the visual form of the purely formal sense is created. The pattern is initially linked to practical functions. There is a certain degree of restriction in artistic expression. The plane structure is the product of high technology. Its knowledge structure, content and form are relatively open and diverse, especially in terms of materials, involving a broad macro-world and micro-world. The traditional pattern is relatively closed, and both content and form have certain restrictions. Although it also emphasizes the sense of form and has certain abstract factors, it is based on figurative techniques. Its specific, vivid and moving features make it unique.

Based on the above understanding, from the visual psychological point of view, the plane composition and pattern also form a difference in the aesthetic perception and emotional experience of the art form.

Plane composition and pattern psychologists believe that the artist always experiences a special kind of emotion—a sense of beauty—in the creative thinking process. The plane structure gives people a special visual aesthetic with its unique visual form and composition. The abstract features of its form and the forms of composition that produce different visual guidance effects form a rigorous picture with a sense of rhythm and rhythm, creating a kind of beauty of order, beauty of reason, and beauty of abstraction. For example, the repetition and approximate form in the plane structure represent a kind of orderliness and order, while the forms of gradual change, emission, contrast, and space often show a dazzling visual beauty. The creative process of plane composition is accompanied by a rational emotional experience from beginning to end. The relative restraint of the pattern makes its subject matter relatively specific and formally regulated, but this abstraction originating from life and originating from nature is a vivid and sensual beauty. It goes without saying that the emotional experience in the creative process of the pattern has obvious emotional characteristics.
