Modern ceramic art is generally divided into concept ceramic art, life ceramic art and environmental ceramic art.
The main content of conceptual pottery is to express artistic concepts. Artists can vividly express their thoughts, feelings, artistic ideas and feelings about life through the special form of pottery through their unique interpretation of the essence of pottery clay and their mastery of the production methods of pottery, which is what we usually call conceptual pottery or expressive pottery. Conceptual ceramic art makes full use of modern materials to create and maximize the artistic space of modern ceramic art, such as organically combining industrial products such as glass, metal and wood with modern ceramic art to show the modeling language of ceramic art.
Life pottery is a modern pottery that can improve the taste of living environment, increase artistic interest and express personal aesthetic views, decorate people's living environment and improve the quality of life. Such as tableware, lamps, flowerpots and ceramic products for decorative display. Although these ceramics also belong to functional or practical ceramics, they are quite different from ordinary daily-use ceramics. They have distinct personality and some language features of modern ceramics in modeling, materials and manufacturing technology.
Environmental ceramic art is the product of the development of ceramic art to a certain stage. Mainly refers to the ceramic art set in squares, parks, green spaces, roads, scenic spots, residential areas, public buildings and other places in the urban planning area. As a kind of public art, environmental pottery not only embodies the principle of publicity of environmental art, but also has the characteristics of pottery itself. Environmental pottery is similar to outdoor sculpture in the traditional sense in form and content, and can be divided into abstract pottery and concrete pottery.
Traditional innovation-the use of traditional crafts, glaze color to express the modern spirit, bottles, cans and other containers or functional works. Modern ceramic art-the creation of expression modeling structure and concept, combined with other art forms, makes ceramic art not only stick to the combination of soil and glaze, but also incorporate more humanistic and spatial factors, making ceramic art more connotative.
Due to the progress of modern chemical raw material knowledge, the development of glaze firing technology, and the manufacture and invention of machines after industrialization, ceramic art has gradually separated, and practical ceramics and artistic ceramics have different development spaces, while over-glaze colors and under-glaze colors are not as absolute as before, so it is not a GAI method to insist on using any classification principle to standardize the types of ceramics.
