Regarding Composition Issues

Composition is the basic framework of a work, and composition also has rules to follow. When learning Chinese painting, we have always passed the knowledge directly to students through the teacher's narration and our own understanding. However, many times, we need to understand by ourselves the parts that can only be understood but cannot be expressed. This book transforms these parts into specific and systematic knowledge to help students master learning essentials. This is a precious spiritual wealth left by the author to future generations. He vividly expresses the artistic conception and style of Chinese painting.

Painting is an art in which composition is an important skill. As a master of Chinese painting art, Mr. Pan Tianshou's painting composition theory described many years ago still has strong reference value today. At the same time, Mr. Pan explained the key points of composition in detail based on the painting practice of the ancients so that students in the classroom and today's readers can understand it. Even for the currently popular mobile phone photography, the artistry reflected behind these composition theories and techniques can also inspire people.

In this book, Mr. Pan Tianshou eloquently explains the key points of composition of "inheritance, continuity, virtuality, reality and density", which can be said to explain the profound things in a simple way. He also teaches the younger generations earnestly and imparts his painting knowledge to the students without hesitation. I sincerely hope that there will be successors to Chinese painting, that those who are better than others will be better than others, and that the art of Chinese painting will be carried forward. Although this book is not long, it is concise and concise and deeply rooted in people's hearts. It is still a key point worth learning by future generations, worth reading repeatedly and understanding with heart.

This book first introduces the basic elements of composition, including balance, symmetry, repetition, etc. Then, it explains in detail various composition principles and techniques, such as the golden section, diagonal composition, layering, etc., As well as how to use different composition techniques to express your creative intentions. Through rich examples and detailed explanations, this book helps readers develop good composition vision and design abilities. It applies to various art forms, including painting, photography, design, etc., Providing readers with a systematic guide to composition.

The composition knowledge mentioned in the book, such as choice and combination, contrast between density and density, etc., Are very specific and have benefited me a lot. Especially when it comes to the role of inscriptions and seals in composition, it really opened my eyes. Moreover, this book is compiled from lecture transcripts, and it feels like the author is teaching in person, which is very cordial. I think this book is not only suitable for professional learning, but also for enthusiasts like me. I recommend it!

The first thing that catches the viewer's eye in a painting is the composition. If there is no way to reasonably solve the problem of composition, then no matter how good the brushwork is, it will be useless. The problem of composition is a problem that accompanies every painter. By reading Mr. Pan Tianshou's "On Composition Issues", you can better understand and learn the use of guests and hosts, virtuality and reality, density, contrast, echo, intersection, jaggedness, three-point relationship, and triangles in composition, and then work hard to find patterns in the classics of the predecessors to express what you know, see, and think.

In the past, I was very confused when I met people who talked about composition, especially the mysterious talk of ancient literati! Mr. Pan's lectures were very down-to-earth, and the language was simple and easy to understand, but he explained the meeting, reality, etc. Thoroughly and clearly. I benefited a lot!
