Constitute a plane to explore creative thinking training - from the leaf to form petals rules






Abstract: In a like interpretation of the image information in the form of an abstract rule of thumb is the need for a process, in accordance with the research-based teaching methods and heuristics to leaf petals form the basic unit, discusses how the basic shape and pose a combination of law, creative thinking training to enable students to master by the concrete to abstract thinking, to enable students to experience in life, to sense the beauty of composition, to enable students to grasp the figurative - abstract - the design rules for future study and professional courses lay a foundation for understanding.
Key words: creative thinking; petals; basic shape; bone cells; the form of rules

"Constitute a plane" is the current art and design institutions of higher learning professional, one of the required course, constitute a plane through the study of the constituent elements such as point, line, surface, texture, space, the basic form, the concept of bone cells, through the use of repetition, symmetry, similar to variation, divergence, intensity, the ratio of partition, the form of gradual training to learn the law and learn to create the image of the United States, training and developing the ability to decorate, to master the laws of formal beauty to enhance the aesthetic level, the ability to cultivate creative graphics for future lay the foundation for the design. contact plane constitute most students of Art and Design is a professional low-grade students on the graphic elements of understanding and grasp of the laws constitute the practice of the lack of specific experience. Especially in the teaching process, we find that the theory constitutes a direct start thinking in accordance with training, for graphics creation, is a relatively difficult. Previous teaching experience has shown that traditional teaching methods in accordance with the act that constitutes the law of the abstract theoretical knowledge on, teaching the effect of relatively poor, mainly in the theory and practice less, creative ideas and so could not be opened. According to the actual situation of the teaching practice in the use of an alternative line of thought, that is to start from the basic form of training to enable students to see that their basic form with a simple seem monotonous in the composition of bone cells can also have a wonderful visual changes students, and enhance the interest in learning and thinking to achieve further expansion of the training purposes.

1. With the form as abstract rules and

The last century, the traditional print textbooks constitute the largest contribution to the symmetry is found, repeat, approximation, gradient, variation, launched intensive, the proportion of the form of divided rule, as a rule, its own form and with the inevitable law of universal significance. And on its application, the form must be attached to the specific rules of the form can be reflected in a law can give effect to constitute a complete and specific as the graphics are often contains a large number of graphics units, from the composition point of view, each unit are in form similar to a certain extent, and even the same, so we will be able to these "modules" from the abstract, as a "basic shape" of the original graphics for decomposition and reconstruction. However, this process has just come into contact with the composition of the new theory is it will not be easy. For example, Figure 1 Shigeo Fukuda posters, works of Beethoven as a figure with the image, but the screen with the original figures have been regrouped as the hair for the figures, notes and other forms of concrete. Speaking students, in this work, the "hair" in the end is an abstract or as it is difficult to distinguish. We say that they are abstract, and now constitute a hair "shape" is a true and as we can see a vivid image of a body constituted as per a bunch of hair, which is obviously contradictory to the previous reference; we say that he is with elephants, but found that they turned, the birds sometimes become the sky, sometimes jumping into the fish, crowds, different direction of the arrow (Figure 1-a - as shown in Figure 1-d) ... ... we can feel as if these "hair" can be turned into any kind of graphics we imagine, even the spots and lines to cover the abstract. As a result, they seem to have an abstract. Students for this confusion is quite normal, because the beginning students will be exposed to constitute a theory is an abstract plane, or even see-shaped. But rather in this case, we are provided directly to students is a vivid, "the form of law", this form of rule is that the hair in the figures have been extracted out of shape body mass of the plane between the "organizing principle." Under the principle of the organization in the hair, turned into a variety of forms such as. In with the image information as an abstract in the form of interpretation of law is the need for a process, students in this process are often amazed at the screen only the ever-changing forms, while ignoring what is in support of these changes in style graphics? Or the ever changing coat of the graphics in the end the following hiding what? The answer is that the core content of courses - composition rules.

2. The form of the theory of teaching into law

Constitute a rule or a form of language and visual organizing principle of the law is the plane constitute the core of learning, and simple rules of composition as we explain in mathematics classes to students on the same formula for the majority of art students This often made it very difficult to accept. Traditional teaching in a variety of black-and-white of the bone cells so that they realize that it is very difficult number of aesthetic feelings, and therefore very difficult to go from a subjective law of digestion and absorption of these constitute, in turn caused by copying the design of the future composition of these so-called principle of this would no doubt be harmful. We have to recognize that the form of graphic composition of the laws of mathematics rather than simple geometric formula is not universally applicable rules constitute the "gravity", it should be to enable students to understand that we constitute a training plane when the core issues to consider the application of the law is not the form, but the ability to improve people's aesthetic. Aesthetic feeling the uncertainty of the design process will inevitably lead to the flexibility and variability, but one thing we must note that, no matter how complicated and ever-changing aesthetic experience, the law of visual perception is relatively constant, otherwise the visual design into the emotional product of random thinking. Constitute the learning is not easy on the plane constitute the understanding of knowledge is the need to strengthen the visual experience. Our main purpose of course is how to guide the rational design of creative thinking, so that the composition of abstract theory can be flexible, application specific design practice, while allowing students to master from the concrete to the abstract way of thinking so that students in the life to experience, to sense the beauty of composition, so as to achieve the form of deepening sense of beauty to enhance the purpose of design capability. In this process, interested in the training is essential, how to see in a short period of time so that students design their own results, students build self-confidence, is that we should focus on consideration. In the teaching process, we found that students can understand the teachers to explain the composition of a certain principle, but in the process of integrating theory with practice, however, appeared to be inadequate, that is, access to specific operations in the operation, they did not know the form of a certain composition What can the visual effects, or do not know how the circumstances under which this constitutes a form of application. Under such circumstances, the guidance of teachers is essential.

We have common things in life as an example, for example, allow students to draw one of the petals can be seen everywhere, simplifying petal shape, petal so simple as far as possible, close to the most basic geometric shape (such as square, circular and triangular), and this has been a basic shape (see Figure 2, Figure 3). Next is to copy the basic shape of a process, the students in any way - not limited to direction, not limited to the size, location of the petals are not limited to reproduction have been similar to Figure 4 the effect of intensive operations. In this process, constitute a form of beauty entirely by students to freely dispose of the visual aesthetic. Then let the students be able to petals unit (basic form) in accordance with the relationship between a certain symmetry, rotation, forming a basic shape of the effect of grouping (see Figure 5).

Further down, is constituted in accordance with certain bone cell replication. At this time, a matter of course to re-introducing the concept of bone cells classroom. In general, we will be divided into two types of bone cells: bone pattern of bone cell and non-regular grid. Regularity of bone cells: bone critical to have precise grid is composed of rigorous geometric approach. Or its basic shape of the bone in accordance with the regulationsgrid array, a strong sense of order. Such as repetition, transitions, firing and other forms of bone cells (which constitute a simple, easy-out effect); non-regularity of bone cells: absence of a strict grid of bone, bone cells from the regularity of free and free to evolve into, constitute a vivid way of freedom, with the author in the framework of the division plane, so it has a great deal of random and freedom. Such as specific, intensive, approximate composition. Then repeat this, gradual launch and specific, intensive, the introduction of similar laws and other forms of vision students.

3. From the leaf to form petals rules

Now let us continue to use the basic leaf-shaped petals, and guide students as to the relative with the basic shape and the composition of abstract rules to combine. A first step, we only require students to use the petals of a few simple forms with bone cells, a single petal in the eyes of students in any case to simplify, abstract, still regarded as a kind of a like figure, with the petals of a film Copy out the effect of the screen began to change, such changes become increasingly evident, with the increase in the number of petals, the visual impact arising from growing intense. When the attention focused on a petal, the original visual effects disappear, when the whole screen to look at, such as visual effects like magic again, as if a kind of visual magic, greatly enhanced the interest of students to practice. 让。 At this time further to introduce a little complex for students of the bone cells form the basic shape for students to repeat the process with the search for appropriate changes in the new images to produce more visual form. Including any single petals, including the graphic elements are relatively simple, and convenient for people to go to observe and cognition, and the large number of the graphics unit is combined with the awe and beauty in nature, is another kind of people visual experience, even the equivalent of Op art and dynamic effects of light perception, which is visual, while the latter is common in the visual and psychological effect resulting from, this effect is as if the basic shape in a simple derive and with the basic shape of the number of breeding and changes in visual effects that will be a corresponding change in the number the greater the effect of such a visual impact on the increasingly obvious that it embodies the philosophy of "quantity" and " quality "changes.

Bone cells constitute a small adjustment of any kind in the entire screen can be a fairly strong visual contrast. In this process, students gradually learned the importance of the laws constitute. Although the law is invisible, but its role is clear in its role under the form of a simple small petals derived from a variety of visual effects. At the same time, this is the simple to the extreme small petals, let us see through it constitutes the law of abstract real look of admiration for its simplicity and the magic of prosperity.

As mentioned above, Figure 2 is a hydrangea photos, through the simplification and abstraction to deal with, we get Figure 3 petals unit, through a simple arrangement, it is easy to get similar to Figure 4, Figure 5, the composition of the form , Figure 4, the petals are irregular with the form of bone cells and the formation of the intensive is a simple composition effect. In Figure 5, we use a simple grid pattern of bone to achieve the basic purpose of the group shape.

Relatively speaking, constitute more than a few of the students in terms of bone cells is more intuitive, easy to understand, as a result of the grouping of the basic shape, the size of unit does not constitute a change only in the location, direction, according to a certain alignment with the rules relatively speaking, or constitute a relatively simple way, the formation of a more stable and more visual effects.

Next, we allow students to think how big of a petal or gradually increasing the production of small fractal composition. First of all, to provide students with a simple fractal bone cells (as shown in Figure 6), requires students to the petals of the original bone cells form in accordance with this act that constitutes the order. Fractal analysis of the first bone cells, bone cells for the isosceles triangle, the triangle shape of the characteristics of the unbalanced nature of the two ends and the middle, in general, we deal with this graphic are used large and small portfolio with the form of composition. Unit cell in the bone by a combination of two small way fill the graphics unit, and in accordance with the proportion of bone cells to the size of the geometric changes in plans can easily be 6-1, in order to maintain the integrity of the screen and the infinite fractal , will reproduce in Figure 6-1 and adjust the portfolio for the Figure 6-2, so it was a flat space in the infinite fractal characteristics of the composition of decoration. Constitute fractal unit allows us to feel that constitute the basic shape ever-expanding or shrinking gives the visual rhythm of the impact, let us form a better understanding of the law and the intrinsic link between the formal beauty.

On this basis, the composition to break the linear form of the petals still use their cut for symmetric replication, the lower part of the petals will be reduced, re-focus on a heart and then points to the system through the formation of a rosette, and then this garland around the center of a circle tangent to narrow the copy, then get a rosette, and so repeated again center around system and then by the Figure 7 the effect of the launch operations.

We can also further training, a single petal in the original graphic based on the unit by adding graphics unit leaves to carry out regular exercises to fill the bone cells, shown in Figure 8. Through the petals and leaves according to a certain pose bone staggered grid for the copy, to a more complete filling of the space plane. But we soon found that petals and leaves at the same time as the existence of two "orthomorphic", would like to enable them to seamlessly fill the space plane, he would have needed one or more of the "negative shape" corresponding with. Constitute the face of this design, we must convert another idea, in basic graphics design unit, it is also the need for corresponding with negative-shaped design, so that they constitute the role of bone cells, the fit with , linked to the formation of both, you can go over the fit of the plane unit, in Figure 9, as shown in Figure 10. We see that this fit form from the composition, the main visual feature is not compatible unit itself, but rather the combination of units during the reconstruction of the composition of the law against the background. Such laws in order to fit the form of the Quartet for the flat space to the entire extension, in the person's senses in the accumulation. With the increase in their number, whether it is a simple geometric figure, or a like petals, leaves, form the basic shape of the characteristics of their own has been gradually watered down or even disappear, and stay in people's sensory perception system is the language of graphic symbols under deeper form of law that constitutes the law. In this process, we finally uncovered the mystery of the laws constitute to be absolutely sure Zhenzhen presented before us. In this way, thinking to guide the expansion of the training, students can quickly grasp the essentials, from the simple to use off-the-shelf bone cells act that constitutes the practice, to further develop ideas, to discover, to understand more of the graphic language organization law, its use to be as lively and artistic creation, from the evolution of composition and design. www.dolcn.com www.dolcn.com

4. Summary

Plane Formation in classroom teaching, the creative thinking training is received from the emotion of the whole process of a rational operation of the training methods, we just petals for an introduction is to start training to enable students to understand the importance of law to constitute. Similarly, in the process, a petal can be replaced by a leaf, a feather, a bird, a toy ... ... any one of the basic shape, as long as we simplify it, the abstract graphics as the basic unit, it can be in different The role of the form of the ever-changing rules, different "shape" scene.

The composition from the above training, we can easily find, constitute the basic shape as a graphics unit, the composition of different rules to follow, and the final visual effects are totally different. Like the same water, protein molecules, such as the basic elements of life, the role of genes in different form of life under the form of different forms. The form of rules in relation to the importance of graphic language is like combination of genes in relation to the importance of life, the two units are a combination of methods must be adopted by other carriers to become apparent, there is no combination of genes in different life there would be no difference. Similarly, from the form of law, and all forms of visual clutter is not bound to become the phenomenon of artistic life in the retina by the light traces of it. Therefore, we must teach students how to discover, understand the law constitutes a form, so that students can practice in the design of specific targeted use of the law constitutes a use of visual rules of professional designs for the future lay the foundation courses.
