AN IN-DEPTH REVIEW OF THE VISUAL DESIGN ELEMENTS—FORM, MATERIAL, AND COLOR—AND THEIR HUGE IMPACT AND CONTRIBUTION TO TRADITIONAL CHINESE DESIGNING.

Abstract

Form, material, and colour are the three visual elements of design that have had a big effect on the design of traditional Chinese artefacts and have made important contributions to traditional Chinese design. This review article goes into great detail on each of these three parts of design. The objective of this study is to present a synthesis of the latest academic research and to illustrate how these independent factors affect the mediating construct of visual design features, which subsequently impacts the dependent variables of cultural influence and the lasting contributions of Chinese design. Moreover, the aim of this research is to illustrate how these elements affect the mediating concept. This study employs a strategy grounded on prior research. It does this by using a diverse array of materials from art history, cultural studies, and design theory to provide an examination of the area from both historical and present perspectives. This article talks about a lot of various architectural styles, decorative items, fabrics, ceramics, and symbolic aesthetics from different dynasties. This literary work mostly talks about the ideas behind Confucianism, Taoism, and the Five Elements philosophy. The study indicates that colour serves as the primary medium of communication, conveying spiritual values, hierarchy, and wealth. Colour is the most important way to communicate. Shape is a way to show balance, symbolism, and harmony; material is a way to show strength, workmanship, and cultural longevity; and shape is a way to show the material. When put together, these parts make up an aesthetic system that has long been seen as a distinguishing feature of traditional Chinese design.
