"Sculpture is pure art. Sculpture is a tangible space plastic arts. Through carving, cutting, carving, grinding and molding, various artistic forms with real volume can be made to reflect social life, convey the author's feelings and express aesthetic ideals. Its emergence and development are closely related to human production activities, and are also directly influenced by social ideologies such as religion and philosophy in various times. It is the crystallization of times, thoughts, feelings and aesthetic concepts, and it is an intuitive record of social development. "
Speaking of campus sculpture, campus sculpture is an important part of campus culture, which can decorate, enrich and beautify the campus environment and enrich the spiritual life of teachers and students. At the same time, campus sculpture is also a concentrated expression of the cultural state of an era. Therefore, to understand the significance of sculpture in the construction of campus culture, we must first have an overall understanding of the connotation of campus culture. Campus culture includes three aspects: material culture (i.e., the hardware aspect of campus culture), spiritual culture (i.e., ideology including campus historical tradition and * * * consistent cultural concepts, values and life concepts recognized by all teachers and students, which is a concentrated reflection of the essence, personality and mental outlook of a school) and institutional culture (i.e., the internal mechanism of campus culture includes school traditions, rituals and rules and regulations, which is an indispensable guarantee mechanism for maintaining normal order of the school). The comprehensive and coordinated development of these three aspects will establish a complete cultural phenomenon for the school. Sculpture, as a manifestation of campus material culture, is also a concentrated expression of spiritual culture. To understand the significance of campus sculpture in the construction of campus culture, three points are worth noting:
First of all, the success of a sculpture depends largely on the degree of integration between sculpture and environment. It is very important whether the sculptures placed in the environment enhance the cultural atmosphere of the environment. Because the artistic atmosphere can give people beautiful enjoyment. "If a sculpture is incompatible with its environment, it is doomed to fail. As far as our school is concerned, campus sculptures are mostly scientists and scholars familiar to some students, which is consistent with the learning atmosphere of our university.
Secondly, sculpture should have artistic language, which is the unity of content and form. "When a good sculpture is integrated with its environmental background, it contains a story." For example, Moonlight on the Lotus Pond, a famous scenic spot on the campus of Tsinghua University, looks at the leaves of the field above the winding lotus pond, and there are many rugged rocks and high and low trees standing beside the lotus pond, while the statue of Mr. Zhu Ziqing is hidden under the shadow of the trees, so that everyone who comes here can personally feel the ".
Third, each sculpture works with its selected position is consistent with each other, and different corners should have different stories.
As far as a university is concerned, every physical and cultural landscape on campus contains rich information, which embodies the connotation and value orientation of campus spiritual culture. Sculpture is a manifestation of campus material and cultural landscape, which accumulates history, culture and tradition and reflects the core cultural values of a school. Therefore, the layout of all sculptures on campus should be seamless, so that you can realize the overall unity of campus culture through various sculptures with artistic language. In addition, each school always forms its own unique cultural landscape with its own sculpture language, so campus sculpture should pay attention to "precision" and "uniqueness" rather than "excess" in the construction of campus culture.
The value of sculpture first lies in aesthetics, and the value of a sculpture first depends on whether it can give people beautiful enjoyment. Through the understanding and aesthetic process of sculpture as a cultural carrier, everyone on campus can gain a subtle influence. It can not only cultivate students' interest in life and their perception of truth, goodness and beauty, but also enhance the centripetal force and cohesion of the campus, and also make teachers and students relax and rest from intense work and study, and create a good living atmosphere. Campus sculpture is the epitome of campus culture. With its rich artistic connotation and cultural value, it is of great significance to campus culture construction, and it is an indispensable part of campus culture construction, which needs everyone's heart to interpret and experience.
Then add your own school situation to prove it.
