Clay sculpture
刘婕妤Liu Jieyu
Abstract
Clay sculpture is a traditional form of sculptural art that uses earth as the primary material to handcraft or mold various figures and scenes. This art form has a long history, spanning multiple cultures and eras, and is renowned for its unique texture and expressiveness. Clay sculptures can be abstract or figurative, often reflecting the artist's emotions and thoughts, or observations of nature and society. Clay sculpture is not only a visual art but also contains rich cultural and historical value, serving as a bridge between the past and the present.
Main part
Clay sculpture is a traditional Chinese folk art that primarily uses clay as its material, creating a variety of figures through manual shaping and carving techniques. This art form has a long history, dating back to the Neolithic period. The process of making clay sculptures includes four steps: making the original model ,mold-making, creating the clay prototype, and finally, coloring, which involves painting the clay sculpture. The works are rich in color and vivid in form, serving not only for artistic creation and cultural heritage but also widely used in religious ceremonies and architectural decoration. Additionally, clay sculptures often serve as decorative pieces, temple statues, children's toys, or as gifts. This art form is widespread across China, with a history of thousands of years, and is a very important form of folk art for the Chinese nation.(Deng P, 2015)
1.The origins of clay sculpture
The origins of clay sculpture art can be traced back to ancient China. According to archaeological discoveries and historical records, the art of clay sculpture first emerged during the Neolithic period, dating back approximately 4,000 to 10,000 years ago. Artifacts such as the pottery pigs and sheep unearthed at the Hemudu cultural site in Zhejiang, as well as the ancient pottery wells and clay pigs and sheep heads found at the Peiligang cultural site in Xinzheng, Henan, are examples of early handmade artworks, dating around 6,000 to 7,000 years ago. Furthermore, the development of clay sculpture art is related to ancient Chinese totemic worship, fertility worship, and the worship of deities. The mythological story of Nuwa shaping humans from clay is a well-known clay-sculpting activity in China. Therefore, clay sculpture art is not only a form of art but also an integral part of traditional Chinese culture, carrying profound historical and cultural connotations
2.The development of clay sculpture
The origins of clay sculpture art can be traced back to the late Neolithic period around 5000 BCE, with the earliest clay sculptures primarily being pottery figurines used for ritual purposes to express human reverence for deities. Over time, clay sculpture gradually evolved into an art form that depicted human figures. During the Han Dynasty, clay sculpture played a significant role in funerary customs, with a large number of pottery figurines, animals, and chariots as burial goods, which propelled the development of clay sculpture art. The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of clay sculpture art, with Yang Huizhi, known as the "saint of sculpture," being an outstanding representative of this period. The artistic level and craftsmanship of Tang Dynasty clay sculptures reached an extremely high standard, becoming an important part of the decoration in the tombs of the nobility. In the Song Dynasty, clay sculpture was favored by poets and calligraphers, further strengthening and expanding its development. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, clay sculpture art gradually moved towards the folk, becoming a widely circulated art form in temples and religious halls. The sculptures of this period were not limited to religious themes; small clay toys also developed, becoming items loved by both the common people and the nobility. At the end of the 19th century, with the rise of modern art movements, clay sculpture gradually came under the influence of Western art, entering the modern and contemporary stage. Modern clay sculptors began to focus on the expression of personal emotions and thoughts, with a diversification of artistic forms and themes. Western sculptural art had a positive impact on the development of clay sculpture, with Chinese clay sculptors beginning to learn Western artistic theories and techniques, integrating them into their own creations. After entering the 21st century, clay sculpture art entered the contemporary stage. Contemporary artists focus on integrating with the contemporary art context, combining clay sculpture with other art forms, and exploring many new creative methods. With the development of technology, 3D printing technology has also been applied to clay sculpture creation, accelerating the pace of development of clay sculpture art. Contemporary clay sculptures pay more attention to the expression of real life, reflecting social issues and the appeal of personal emotions.
3.The cultural meaning of clay sculpture
As a traditional folk art, clay sculpture has very rich cultural significance and connotations. The first aspect is the vivid display of folk life; clay sculpture is closely related to Chinese folk art, and its emergence is closely linked to folk life. The plasticity of clay adds joy to people's lives and provides means for creation.(Kenyon J,2012) Clay sculptures express the yearning for a happy life through intuitive modeling and the use of symbolic techniques, which endows clay sculpture with unique artistic attributes. The second aspect is its aesthetic and expressive nature; clay sculpture art is a form of life art, as well as an aesthetic art that transcends reality. Clay sculptors are adept at using intuitive modeling and symbolic techniques to express the yearning for a happy life, which endows clay sculpture with unique artistic attributes—they must directly draw from life while also expressing and satisfying the aesthetic demands of reality. Clay sculpture is not just a craft but also a symbol of cultural heritage; it continuously perpetuates the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation through the stories and culture embedded in the clay.

Questions
1.What is the origin of clay sculpture art?
2.What are the developmental stages of clay sculpture art in Chinese history?
3.In which aspects is the value of clay sculpture art reflected?
Answers
1.The origin of clay sculpture art can be traced back to the ancient Chinese mythological story of "Nüwa Mending the Sky". It is said that Nüwa shaped human figures from clay, which is considered the earliest historical record of the origin of clay sculpture. Archaeological discoveries indicate that clay sculpture art dates back to the Neolithic period, about 4,000 to 10,000 years ago. For example, the pottery pigs and sheep unearthed at the Hemudu Cultural Site in Zhejiang, which are estimated to be about 6,000 to 7,000 years old.
2.The development of clay sculpture art in Chinese history can be roughly divided into four historical stages: the inception stage, the expansion stage, the prosperity stage, and the generalization stage. Starting from the Neolithic period, clay sculpture art has been continuous, and by the Han Dynasty, it had become an important genre of art. During the Tang Dynasty, clay sculpture art reached its peak, and Yang Huizhi, known as the "saint of sculpture," was an outstanding representative of the Tang Dynasty.
3.The artistic value of clay sculpture is mainly reflected in its aesthetic value, collectible value, and the cultural value it embodies. As a traditional folk art of the Chinese nation, clay sculptures not only have aesthetic value in the form of small-scale clay carvings and children's toys for everyone to appreciate, but they also carry significant cultural value by reflecting regional characteristics, historical culture, and ethnic traits.

泥塑
泥塑是中国传统的民间艺术，以粘土为主要材料，通过手工捏制、雕刻等技艺制作出各种形象。这种艺术形式历史悠久，最早可追溯到新石器时期。泥塑的制作流程包括制子儿、翻模、脱胎、着色四个步骤。制子儿即制作原型，翻模是制作模子，脱胎是制作泥塑坯胎，最后着色，即对泥塑进行彩绘。泥塑作品色彩丰富，形象生动，不仅用于艺术创作和文化传承，还广泛应用于宗教仪式和建筑装饰。此外，泥塑也常作为观赏摆件、庙宇造像、儿童玩具或送礼佳品。泥塑艺术流传于中国各地，具有几千年的历史，是中华民族非常重要的民间艺术形式。
1.泥塑的起源
泥塑的起源可以追溯到中国古代。据考古发现和历史文献记载，泥塑艺术最早出现在新石器时期，距今大约有4000至1万年前。在浙江河姆渡文化遗址出土的陶猪、陶羊，以及河南新郑裴李岗文化遗址出土的古陶井及泥猪、泥羊头等，都是人类早期手工捏制的艺术品，时间约为6000至7000年前。此外，泥塑艺术的发展与中国古代的图腾崇拜、生殖崇拜和神灵崇拜有关，神话传说中的女娲抟土造人是中国家喻户晓的泥塑创造活动。因此，泥塑艺术不仅是一种艺术形式，也是中国传统文化的重要组成部分，承载着深厚的历史与文化内涵。
2.泥塑的艺术起源
泥塑艺术的起源可以追溯到公元前5000年左右的新石器时代晚期，最早的泥塑作品主要是祭祀用的陶偶，用于表示人类对神灵的崇拜。随着时间的推移，泥塑逐渐发展成为表现人物形象的艺术形式。汉代时，泥塑在丧葬习俗中扮演重要角色，大量的陶俑、陶兽、陶马车等陪葬品推动了泥塑艺术的发展‌。唐代是泥塑艺术的鼎盛时期，被誉为雕塑圣手的杨惠之是这一时期的杰出代表。唐代泥塑作品在艺术水平和制作工艺上都达到了极高的水平，成为王朝贵族墓室中装饰的重要组成部分‌。宋代时期，泥塑受到诗人、书法家的喜爱，进一步发展壮大。明清时期，泥塑艺术逐渐走向民间，成为庙堂和寺庙中广泛流传的艺术形式。这一时期的泥塑作品不仅限于宗教题材，小型泥塑玩具也发展起来，成为平民百姓和达官显贵都喜爱的物品‌。19世纪末，随着现代艺术运动的兴起，泥塑逐渐受到西方艺术的影响，进入了近现代阶段。近现代泥塑艺术家开始注重对个人情感和思想的表达，艺术品的形式和主题多样化。西方的雕塑艺术对泥塑的发展产生了积极的影响，中国泥塑艺术家开始学习西方的艺术理论和手法，融入自己的创作中‌。进入21世纪以后，泥塑艺术进入了当代阶段。当代艺术家们注重结合当代艺术语境，将泥塑与其他艺术形式相结合，探索出许多新的创作方式。随着科技的发展，3D打印技术也被应用于泥塑创作中，加速了泥塑艺术的发展速度。当代泥塑作品更加注重现实生活的表达，反映社会问题和个人情感的诉求。
3.泥塑的文化意义和内涵
泥塑作为一种传统的民间艺术，其文化意义和内涵非常丰富。第一个是民俗生活的生动展现，泥塑与中国民间艺术紧密相关，其出现与民俗生活密切关联。泥土的可塑性为老百姓的生活增添了乐趣，提供了创作的手段。泥塑作品通过直观的泥塑、借用象征手法来表达对幸福生活的向往，这赋予了泥塑以独特的艺术属性。第二个是审美性和写意性，泥塑艺术是一门生活艺术，也是一门超越现实的审美艺术。泥塑艺人擅长通过直观的泥塑、借用象征手法来表达对幸福生活的向往，这赋予了泥塑以独特的艺术属性——它们要向生活直接索取，同时又要表达和满足现实的审美需求。泥塑不仅仅是一门手艺，更是一种文化传承的象征，它通过泥土中的故事与文化，不断地延续着中华民族优秀的传统文化。

问题
1.泥塑艺术的起源是什么？
2.泥塑艺术在中国历史上经历了哪些发展阶段？
3.泥塑艺术的价值体现在哪些方面？

答案
1.泥塑艺术的起源可以追溯到中国古代的神话故事“女娲补天”，相传女娲抟泥土为人，这被认为是泥塑最早的历史起源记载。考古发现表明，泥塑艺术可上溯到距今4千至1万年前的新石器时期，如浙江河姆渡文化遗址出土的陶猪、陶羊，时间约为6千至7千年前左右。
2.泥塑艺术在中国历史上的发展大致可划分为发轫期、增衍期、兴盛期和泛化期四个历史阶段。从新石器时代开始，泥塑艺术一直没有间断，到了汉代已成为重要的艺术品种。唐代时，泥塑艺术达到了顶峰，被誉为雕塑圣手的杨惠之就是唐代杰出的代表。
3.泥塑的艺术价值主要包括它的观赏价值、收藏价值和所体现的民族文化价值。泥塑是中华民族传统的民间艺术品，不仅供大家欣赏的小型泥塑雕刻作品和儿童玩具具有观赏价值，而且泥塑作品所体现出来的地域特色、历史文化、民族特征等也具有重要的文化价值。

=Session 8 Thursday Oct 31, 2024 19:00-21:35=

Today, we start a field research study under the HUNNU JM Research Centre of Excellence (EU grant).

The study is intended to compare learning a foreign language with AI and without AI.

By participating in the study, you agree that your data will be collected. However, the data will first be anonymized and only as anonymized data analyzed and compared with other sets of data. Some general information like study discipline, year and sex will also be used. The results are inteded to be published in scientific publications.

Task 1: Please decide whether you

- want to use

- or not want to use

an AI app with a daily dialogue of 7 phrases to improve your foreign (English, Korean, Japanese) language learning until end of the year.

The groups should almost be equally large.

The group that decides not to use an AI app to improve their language learning are not allowed to use any AI app to improve their language learning. It should not learn less, but try to learn more with humans and from books.
