Open Traveler: Culture Invasion Parallel Blue Star

Chapter 243 Broken Arm Venus, Incomplete Beauty

Of course, Lin Xuan wanted to introduce how the four groups of people separated.

Lin Xuan stepped forward, and the first group of people was a group of Africans.

These few people chattered a lot, but no one understood.

Through the translator, Lin Xuan turned his head and introduced: "They are people from Central Africa. The large amount of pottery they use in their country is something called red pottery."

Although it doesn't feel good to say this, Lin Xuan still introduced: "This is the main pottery used in the Neolithic period of the main civilization. In our Dragon Kingdom, it was used about 1 years ago."

"The most common terracotta in life is the orange-red pottery flowerpot."

The development of civilization in the world is actually very cruel.

Civilizations in many places have not progressed for tens of thousands of years.

As for pottery, porcelain has already been developed in the Dragon Kingdom, but no other country in the world has independently developed porcelain.

Not to mention porcelain, during the Age of Discovery, the pottery used in countries like England and West White was also the glazed pottery we used about 600 to 1000 or [-] years ago.

And a large number of civilizations can independently fire black pottery, which is already very awesome.

However, there are only a few countries in the world that independently developed white pottery.

The wheels of civilization have not moved for tens of thousands of years, and it is conceivable that these countries directly entered the modern society.

Whether it is productivity or ideological and cultural learning, they are not well prepared.

In addition to the reason for going out to the United States as a crap stick, the mismatch between their civilization and modern civilization is also a huge reason for the war.

"This group of them not only knows their own pottery, they have also learned more complex pottery, but they are going to use their own original methods to see if they can make pottery so big."

"They used the circle molding method (pan molding)."

The so-called circle molding method is to knead the clay into long strips, and then shape the shape circle by circle.

Almost all large pots and jars are shaped in this way.

The second group of people are from the Dragon Kingdom itself.

"Hello everyone, we are the pottery teacher of Hangzhou Tianming Ceramics."

"We usually do pottery and are used to using flywheels to make symmetrically shaped pottery."

"This kind of pottery that is not round is actually not easy to make with a flywheel."

"The idea is to take a flywheel and make a big cylinder and flatten it to the shape of a human body before cutting it out."

"Then make the body details in the standard clay sculpting way."

The third group is from the United States. This group speaks in English, and there are more audiences who can understand:
"We are going to use molds to make the body, and then make the head of the terracotta figurine by hand, and then splice it together."

The fourth group of people came from a country in West Asia.

"We are going to use the method of overmolding to make the body, use the method of carving to make the details, and we are going to use the method of carving to make the head."

To put it simply, the methods of several groups of people are different.

The third and fourth groups sound similar, but they are actually the farthest.

To put it simply, if we use a cup as an example, the first group of people is going to use mud strips to superimpose them into the shape of a cup, and then smooth out the connection gaps.

The second group is going to use the centrifugal force of the turntable to throw out a cup, and then crush the cup flat.

The third group is going to make two half cups and put them together.

The fourth group is to make a model of the inner space of the cup, make a model of the outer space of the cup, and then use the filling method to fill the middle, so that a cup is obtained.

After the four groups of people did it, most people actually understood that in the pre-Qin period, the method must be the first.

However, the technical ability of this first group may not be as good as that of the Qin Dynasty craftsmen.

Modern people are powerful, but that's based on having a lot of knowledge.

As far as certain technical things are concerned, many ancient things cannot be made in modern times.

For example, the plain gauze gowns of Mawangdui, no matter what methods modern people use, the re-engraved items are more than twice as heavy as those handed down from ancient times.

It is quite possible that the first group's approach was correct, but their technique was too sloppy.

Perhaps with the technical strength of the second, third and fourth groups, it may be easier to succeed with this method.

However, human beings are always crazy, and always feel that they can do better things.

Lin Xuan: "Okay, the voting is over, let them do it, let's move on to the next link."

"If you want to choose a first aesthetic enlightenment for Earth and Star people, at least in Longguo, everyone likes a work very much."

"Its beauty is very special, showing a kind of beauty called incomplete beauty."

"It is incomplete, and the art masters of all dynasties in history have tried to complete it by themselves, but no matter how they are completed, its beauty will be greatly reduced."

"Even if it is restored to its full appearance after textual research later, there is no way to compare it with its beauty when it was incomplete."

[Is it so mysterious? 】

[What kind of work? 】

[It sounds theoretically possible. 】

"It is, Broken Arm Venus."

"Venus of Milos" (also known as "Aphrodite of Milos", "Venus of Broken Arm") is a marble sculpture created by the ancient Greek sculptor Alexandros around 150 BC. sculpture.

The video starts playing what it looks like.

The statue shows Venus, the god of love, with a dignified and beautiful figure, plump skin, a beautiful oval face, a Greek-style straight nose bridge, a flat forehead and a plump chin, and a calm face, revealing that it has been inherited from the heyday of Greek sculpture art. intellectual tradition.

Her slightly twisted posture makes her body form a very harmonious and graceful spiral rising posture, full of musical rhythm and full of great artistic charm.

"In Earth Star, Venus is the name of a goddess of beauty in national mythology, and this work just so shows the beauty of incompleteness, so its artistry has been greatly enhanced by that incompleteness."

If something like the Greek Saturnia should be fake, then Venus Broken Arm is real.

It is different from the civil structure buildings that Longguo is used to.

No wood grows on the mountains of Greece.

In Longguo, flat knives are used to level wood, while in the West, flat knives are used to level marble.

Under this kind of civilizational surprise, it is normal for Western sculpture art to be more delicate in handling details than Longguo.

Broken Arm Venus is also almost the only real guy in Western BC sculpture.

Because it is clearly recorded that it was smashed in the Middle Ages and then dug out in the [-]th century.

It is not the same thing as those fake things that were found in the "new historical materials" and "new materials" later.

[Damn, but it's very beautiful! 】

[One thing to say, according to today's concept, this face is not beautiful enough, but the figure and other aspects are very beautiful! 】

Ancient Greek women were far less beautiful than modern Greek women.

Because of the location of Greece, a large number of mixed blood leads to an improvement in appearance.

After all, biology pays attention to hybridization to produce better offspring, and the same is true for humans.

Women from countries such as Germany, Gaul, Chicken, Intland, etc... are not good looking.

However, apart from the face, the body structure and posture of the Broken Arm Venus are almost perfect.

There is no such thing as supermodels who regard thinness as beauty, and are so perverted that the models are too hungry to walk.

Nor does it have the abnormal aesthetic feeling of removing ribs to make the waist thinner in modern medical aesthetics.

It is a very typical human aesthetic feeling acceptable to people all over the world.

"It's kind of a challenge."

"Artists around the world, you can try to connect the arm of Venus with the broken arm."

"You can connect it in computer modeling, you can also copy Venus with a broken arm, or you can try to sculpt clay sculptures from scratch."

"The specific parameter program group will be announced on the official website."

[666, interesting, is there any reward? 】

[Hahaha, I'm crazy to want rewards! 】

Surprisingly, there are rewards.

"Our "I am a time traveler" program group will start the evaluation, netizens vote, and the entry with the highest votes will get a chance. Dixing Toy Factory will make a certain personal work provided by him into a toy for the whole world. world promotion."

As an artist, who can escape the temptation of being famous.

Many people are directly ready to start the challenge.

Lin Xuan turned around.

The next four groups of people, the first group of disk sculpture, that is, the circle sculpture contestants mentioned by Blue Star, have already failed.

And as they did it the whole cavity cracked open.

The second group also failed, throwing out the barrel-sized cylinder with the flywheel twice in a row, and then began to flatten it.

It is already very strong to be able to make such a big mud tire with a flywheel, but there are always problems when pressing.

The mud is super soft, and it deforms when it is pressed. It is just luck to use this method to reproduce the cavity of the terracotta warriors and horses.

The group of turning over the model, so far, has come out to the state of stripping the film for real people.

They found that the body of the terracotta warriors and horses was wider than real people, so they thought it might be made by replicating the human body.

But the step of turning the human body into a model is too time-consuming.

Moreover, they are still studying on the spot how to pour mud into the mold with a narrow space.

The third group is now in full swing, but they also encountered a problem, that is, how to splice the two halves of the clay sculpture together without deforming the clay sculpture.

【The terracotta warriors and horses are not so easy to make. If it is easy to make, there are not real people everywhere in the world, so we will not be surprised when we see it. 】

[I feel that although these four groups of people know more than the ancients, they seem to be technically incompetent. 】

[Clay sculpture is really difficult. It is estimated that if other materials are used, it is easy to reproduce the terracotta warriors. 】

The most important point for pottery figurines is to make the finished shape while the clay is still soft.

Then let the water of the pottery embryo dry up completely, and the embryo body is not cracked.

It is finally fired and does not crack after firing.

Now, the four groups of people can't even do the first step, let alone the next two steps.

[Imagine how the ancestors of the Earth Star Dragon Kingdom created such an army of pottery figurines more than 2000 years ago, it is simply incredible. 】
