Features: This book presents topics in the form of units, starting with a set of still life as a point of departure, gradually deepening and evolving through visual thinking methods. Each step of the topic's content is designed to be progressively challenging. First, it emphasizes the representation of objective form structures, including both the structures of objective objects and the subjective structures of the painting. Second, based on a grasp of the structures, it captures, analyzes, integrates, and extracts the meaningful parts of the objective forms, and undergoes a mental shift from concrete to abstract, reorganizing the visual language. Next, after conducting in-depth research on the objective forms from complex to simple and from concrete to abstract, it identifies the fundamental nature of the objective forms, then analyzes and conceptualizes them, breaking through preconceived notions and recognizing things from different angles and levels, decomposing their variable factors into specific new visual languages. Again, based on a comprehensive and integrated understanding of the objective forms, it explores the possibilities of different material media and expressive methods in representing the objective forms, understanding the characteristics of materials and the properties and tension of their interactions, opening up dimensions for exploring expressive thinking. Finally, it integrates the above methods for comprehensive association and creation, training systematic logical thinking and expressive abilities. This book can be used as a reference for undergraduate and junior college students in art schools, as well as candidates for art and design-related exams.
