Looking back upon the animal ornamentation in ceramic products under the
background of the Post-COVID-19
Abstract
Animals are a more active and compelling part of the ecosystem, with
intrinsic value and utilization value. In the early days of human
civilization, humans used wild Animals to protect themselves from the
hungry and the cold, reflecting their direct utilization value. At the
same time, wild animals have indirect value in human cognition, and many
wild animals are regarded as the totem of the clan. With the development
of society, human beings also conceived some beast animals that did not
appear in nature, and used the power supply class as a symbol of their
own identity. Whether it is a wild animal in nature or a conceived
beast, it is often displayed on various creations, such as rock
paintings, cave paintings, ceramics, and so on. In this article, ceramic
products are used as a medium to explore the patterns and cultural
characteristics of ceramic products using animals as elements.
Objective: To study the history, categories and cultural connotations of
the use of ceramic products by showing the traces, movements and forms
of the decoration of wild animals with the patterns of wild animals as
elements. Methods: Using the methods of image, type analysis and
interpretation to study the application and paradigm of wild animal
decoration in the design of ceramic products. Results: Through the
research on wild animal ornamentation and dynamics on ceramic products,
the idea conveyed is that humans and animals should coexist in a
harmonious coexistence and natural fusion, maintain ecological balance,
and show the ecological values of human health.
