Stone Sculpture Sculpture Making Process

1) Shen carving: This type of carving absorbs traditional Chinese painting methods such as Chinese painting and meaning, overlap, and line shape scatter perspective. After the stone is processed and polished on a plane, the pattern text is traced, and then the line is engraved according to the figure. The shadows are three-dimensional. Most of these products are used for the decoration of the outer wall surface of buildings, and have a strong artistic character.

2) Relief: It means a three-dimensional image carved on the surface of the stone. It is a half-dimensional sculpture. It is called relief because the image is embossed on the stone surface. According to the different degrees of stone removal, it is divided into bas-relief and high-relief. The bas-relief is a single-level statue with relatively single content, and it is not hollowed out; while the high-relief is a multi-level statue, the content is more complicated, and the more open-cut carving is more fascinating.

3) Shadow carving: This kind of carving uses Yujing Lake bluestone as a flat material. The surface is polished first, and the characteristics of white spots can be displayed by cutting. The size, depth, The density of different micro-points is only divided into different levels of black and white, so that the image is displayed. It is not only delicate and realistic, but also has charm. It is a purely artistic development of stone carving, and it has opened a new way for stone carving production. In addition, stone carving artisans from ancient to modern times have also created some round, floating, and sinking all kinds of carvings. These sculptures all show more complicated contents, so they adopt the comprehensive method of sinking in the float, sinking in the sinking, and sinking in the circle.

4) Garden carving: It is a three-dimensional quasi-modelling artwork that exists in a single body. Each side of the stone requires processing. The craftsmanship is based on hollowing techniques and fine chopping axes. There are many types of such sculptures, most of which are single stone sculptures, and some are composed of multiple stones. In recent years, such sculptures have developed many micro-promotion products, some are as small as fruit cores and some are as thin as cicada wings. It is ingenious and is called micro-carving. This kind of product has completely separated from the practical use of construction and became a pure handicraft. It is more portable due to its small size, and it has a good prospect for development as a commemorative treasure.
