The influence of my hometown on my art

Introduction：art comes from life，oil painting creation of course can not be separated from the inspiration of life，in life to find inspiration and material is an important part of the beginning of oil painting.My creation can not be separated from my hometown-Ningjin，so this time I plan to go to a deeper understanding of the culture of my hometown.Through this art investigation，let me review my hometown，broaden my horizons，explore the creative potential，further inspire my passion for the pursuit of art！ Let me love art more and enjoy life in art.

The first destination of the expedition was the acrobatics school in his hometown.acrobatics is one of the arts with skills as the core.Acrobatics are required to perform long-term hard training at an early age.Therefore，acrobats have special training schools.My hometown is Ningjin County，Dezhou City，Shandong Province.As early as 1995，Ningjin County was named by the Ministry of Culture as "the hometown of Chinese folk art（acrobatics）.In 2005，acrobatics in his hometown were designated by Shandong Province as the first project to declare "national intangible cultural heritage".In 2008，Ningjin Acrobatics was selected as the second batch of "National Intangible Cultural Heritage List." With its long history of development，extensive mass foundation，profound cultural heritage and superb performance skills，the acrobatic art in his hometown has had a major impact on the development of the history of Chinese acrobatic art.This artistic atmosphere in my hometown also deeply affected me.The diversity and complexity of acrobatics in my hometown shocked me.

At the Acrobat school that day，I was fortunate enough to enjoy the wonderful performance of the Acrobat，the Acrobat during the performance of the change of body shape，let me break the stereotype of the traditional character oil painting.They have rhythmic body changes，ups and downs，and they are combined into a whole.Such a shocking performance contains the rich imagination of the working people and wonderful artistic creativity.The actors not only have excellent skills and Kung Fu，but also say，read，play，sing，and brake the gongs and drums at their feet.If the character form is expressed according to the dynamics of acrobatics，it can reflect the beauty of the characters，properly deform the processing，and enhance the rhythm of the screen to break through the boundaries of time and space.

In the course of the expedition，I simply recorded the dynamics and scenes of the acrobats 'performances in a sketchy form.I was inspired by the acrobatic culture in my hometown.If the acrobats of different times and spaces were combined by appropriate methods in composition，According to the law of formal beauty，the material is combined into the picture，giving people a comfortable and lively visual experience.If the composition of the painting is regarded as a visual form system，it is composed of the basic visual form elements with different visual forms such as color，light and shadow，and shape，and conveys certain visual functions of emotion，thought，and content.In the recording process，I pay more attention to the layout of the picture position，the division of space and the proportion of area，and I prefer decorative expressions.

After conducting a field visit to the hometown acrobatic school and closely communicating with the acrobats，he discovered that the knives used by the acrobatics in his hometown Ningjin were very unique.The modern writer Mr.Guochengqing created his masterpiece "The Great Knife" based on his hometown Ningjin's dance artist.The 65-episode TV series "The Big Knife" was launched in Ningjin，Shandong Province in 2014 and broadcast on several television stations such as Shandong，Heilongjiang Satellite TV and Shanxi Satellite TV in 2015.This shows that the hometown dancers are widely loved by the people.So this kind of special tool in my hometown became one of my materials.

Later，when I examined the acrobats 'specific costumes，I found that the acrobats' costumes in my hometown were also colorful.The main colors were red，yellow，blue，purple，black，green，Peacock green，and Gemstone blue.The color of such high purity is not messy，and the accessories on the Acrobat are also colorful.From the point of view of oil painting color，if the traditional Chinese color is used for filling，combined with the traditional Chinese color collocation，it will show the more decorative beauty of the color in the work，can create a more characteristic color language.

In the course of my study，I also realized deeply that painting is not just a description of reality and pictures，but also requires us to think about how to solve various specific problems and start from the whole.To master the rhythm of the picture，so that part and the whole coordinated.In the process of learning，we must constantly appreciate the various kinds of excellent works applicable to their own professional skills，but also face their own shortcomings in a timely manner，and actively adjust the inappropriate places in the picture.Do "take its essence and get rid of its dross" to make the work more perfect.
