An Exploratory Analysis Of The Visual Design Elements – Form, Material And Color And Their Significant Impact And Contribution On Traditional Chinese Design

Abstract

When it comes to visual design, the three fundamental components of form, subject matter, and colour are the foundation upon which the language of images is constructed. Many different civilizations have used distinct parts of visual design in a variety of different ways. A specific culture may assign a certain meaning to a particular hue, whereas another culture may assign an entirely other meaning to these same colours. Over the course of around five thousand years, traditional Chinese architecture has been around, each with its own distinct ideology. The design of traditional Chinese objects has a strong connection to the past and makes a major contribution to the identity of the Chinese people. Educating the future generation about the history and culture of China via the study of classical Chinese design is an excellent way to do it. The work that is being presented investigates this very topic with the intention of incorporating traditional Chinese visual elements into contemporary design. The purpose of this research is to shed light on the methods by which commonplace visual design features are seen to be associated with Chinese design. This is true regardless of whether or not they are a designer. This research focuses on three qualities in order to better understand traditional Chinese design: a) handicraft, b) naturalistic thought, and c) design with meaning. The purpose of this study is to better understand traditional Chinese design. In addition to this, the research looks into two unique sets of design concepts that may assist creative individuals in incorporating these iconic characteristics of Chinese culture with contemporary works of art.
