The physical relationship between the main body of the stone crafts and the base

A complete urban stone crafts‍The work is mainly divided into two parts: the main body of the stone carving and the base of the Stone Carving. Compared with the main body of the stone carving, the base of the stone carving is a secondary part of the whole stone carving, and this secondary part is often used by many Stone carving creators do not pay attention to it, or are ignored by the creator. A good stone carving work will inevitably have a good overall effect, and a good overall effect will inevitably be set off by the humble shape of the base. Although the base of the stone carving is a secondary part of the main body of the stone carving, it plays an important role in the overall image of the stone carving. The shape of the base is various, including square and round, long and flat, high and short, and various irregular shapes. The formation of this shape plays a key role in the success or failure of stone carving creation. A good The stone carving works cannot be set off without the base. Only when the base handles the overall sense and integrity of the whole stone carving work can it be completed and the charm of the stone carving can be displayed. If the base is not handled properly, the overall effect of the stone carving will be greatly reduced, and in the end it may completely violate the original intention of the author to achieve the artistic effect.

1. The positional relationship between the main body of the stone crafts and the base
As the name implies, the base should be at the bottom of the main body of the stone sculpture, just like the foundation to be laid before building a house. The foundation supports the whole house just like the base supports the entire main body of the stone sculpture. The base unifies the whole shape and at the same time ensures the stability of the stone carving.
2. The relationship between the main body of the stone crafts and the base in terms of volume
In terms of volume, in order to highlight the main body, we must control the volume of the base, so as not to overwhelm the main body. The size of the base of the general figure stone carving is very small. For example, the size of the base of a large figure is only 15 cm high and about 60 cm long and wide. Only in this way can the main body of the character be highlighted. Of course, if the stone sculpture of great men have to be adjusted, because the stone sculpture of great men have their special identity and status and are admired by people, they are usually placed in an empty square space, which is like a large city stone sculpture. In order to achieve coordination with the surrounding space environment, it is necessary to increase the base appropriately, which highlights the tall image of the great man on the one hand, and meets the volume needs of the entire large space on the other hand.
3. The relationship between the main body of the stone crafts and the base
In the treatment of the body of the stone sculpture and the base, the base, as a functional body that sets off the main body of the stone sculpture, must give full play to its role as a foil in the treatment of the body. For a stone carving work to highlight the rich and varied shape of the stone carving itself, in addition to the background of the environment, another key is the base. The shape of the base should be changed in accordance with the shape of the main body of the stone carving. When the shape of the main body of the stone carving is relatively simple, the shape of the base cannot be more complicated than that of the main body. In this case, the base generally chooses a simple cube or cuboid. When the shape of the main body of the stone carving is rich and changeable, the base can be adjusted appropriately according to the needs of the main body, and the relationship can be coordinated.
In terms of depiction, we need to enrich the content of the subject, and we must fully match the depiction of the subject with respect to the base of the object. Only when the subject is refined can we express the image of the subject that we want to shape more prominently. On a certain level, the depiction of the base is negligible, because there is basically no need for depiction of the base compared to the main body of the stone sculpture. However, some finer stone sculpture still require the depiction of the base, so we cannot completely ignore the depiction of the base.
