On the value of modern ceramic art creation

What is modern ceramics？ For most people，the first thought of modern ceramic creation is the porcelain of bottle，bottle，jar and jar，which is beautiful appearance，beautiful shape，or gorgeous ceramic utensils. But the connotation of modern ceramic art creation is not only the pursuit of appearance，but the exploration and solution of problems，the expression of emotion，an aesthetic attitude，a way to face the future，and a complete and systematic creation.

Chinese modern ceramics should belong to a branch of modern ceramic art civilization，but she is more in the spiritual level of development and description. From the birth of modern ceramics，she has made a clear line with the classical ceramic art. But she inherited the unique temperament and charm of classical ceramic art，such as the cohesion of the broad soil，the water dexterity and the elegant air. Of course，the most spectacular is the combination of fire passion and baptism，and the permanent or death is in the baptism of the fierce fire. Modern ceramics finally get rid of the aesthetic shackles brought by classical thought. It plays an aesthetic guiding role to reflect and reconstruct the light of human nature by using the concepts and aesthetic needs of many modernism to reflect on the numbness brought by the classical aesthetic rigidity and various industrialization and mechanization！

In the modern ceramic creation，creation always follows the development of society. This advanced design sense even affects the judgment of later people. It is believed that creation will always be on the right road. This fully illustrates that the main trend of modern ceramic art creation is that material creation turns to spiritual creation，and pays attention to aesthetic creation and experience creation. It is inheritance and innovation. Today we talk about tradition so good，but is there modern ceramics in tradition？ There was no gorgeous Tang three colors in Han Dynasty，and there was no high temperature glaze in Yuan Dynasty. How did they come out？ It was based on the previous innovation. The classics we followed were the greatest innovations of the time. The core part of traditional ceramic design is that the development and innovation of the times have become a new direction of the development of modern ceramics. This is also the most core feature of the development of modern ceramics.

Jobs said，"people never know what they want，and they don't find that's what he wants until you put the product in front of them.". This is the pursuit of modern ceramic workers. People don't know what they want，so what they say in their mouth has an unequal relationship with what they want in their hearts. The demands are often illusory. Their real needs need to feel with their heart and see them with their eyes. And this is the core of ceramic art creation thinking：seeking for demand and pursuing innovation.

Many people think that the present ceramic art creation is the Creator with rich imagination to create and design a modern ceramic works，which is a completely wrong direction. A work from the beginning of the concept，to lock its own goals，he to solve what kind of problems，facing the crowd，the ideas conveyed and so on. Then we should demonstrate the feasibility of design，the support of technology and materials，and understand how it is made，whether the selected materials and the emotions expressed can be displayed perfectly;we also need to think about whether the works can have enough charm after the completion of the work;all of them are to pave the way for finding the final demand，which needs to be considered clearly at the beginning，while the public should consider clearly at the beginning，while the public Often only the final design works are seen，there are many kinds of problems，most of which are not seen in the finished products，these processes are very important，because even the idea is gradually mature.

"Driven by demand elimination" is to grasp the key，find problems from the realistic ceramic works，and then focus on reality，explore the difference between modern ceramic works and modern ceramic works in the concept，and propose solutions. The most important thing to reflect the thinking of ceramic art creation is a process. In this process，there are many problems that you need to solve one by one. You will find that the point of your final failure is not the key point. Failure is usually determined before many rounds.Therefore，in order to make a modern ceramic work with ideas，we need to have a deep understanding of materials，concepts and other aspects，and predict the problems that will appear in the design.

The aesthetics of modern ceramic art is the innovation of materials，modeling，decoration and technology，and the multi-level expression of the needs of modern ceramic art. But the creation of modern ceramic art must be someone who understands all aspects of the whole industry，not just the art creation that starts after learning a tiny bit of technology，but the ultimate demand of modern ceramic art creation must be to find what people want most.

Modern ceramic art creation is the flower of idealism，the arrogant explorer，and the God stealing in the future. It is generations of people who inherit and innovate，so that the development of modern ceramics will last forever. To find demand is to see the power，which is our eternal pursuit.
