A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF THE VISUAL DESIGN ELEMENTS—FORM, MATERIAL, AND COLOR—AND THEIR SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON TRADITIONAL CHINESE DESIGN.

Abstract

The three visual elements of design that have had a big influence on the design of traditional Chinese artefacts are form, material, and colour. These elements have also made important contributions to the design of traditional Chinese items. This review article gives a lot of information on each of these three parts of design. This study aims to demonstrate how independent factors influence the mediating construct of visual design features, which subsequently affects the dependent variables of cultural influence and the enduring contributions of Chinese design. It seeks to present a synthesis of the latest academic research and illustrate the impact of these factors on the mediating construct. It employs a diverse array of materials from art history, cultural studies, and design theory to provide an examination of the phenomena from both historical and present perspectives. The researcher of this article talks about a lot of different architectural styles, decorative items, fabrics, pottery, and symbolic aesthetics that were popular over several dynasties. Most of the talk in this book is on the ideas that Taoism, Confucianism, and the Five Elements philosophy are based on. The study indicates that colour serves as the primary medium of communication, conveying spiritual values, hierarchy, and wealth. The most important way to communicate to each other is via colour. The researcher can show balance, symbolism, and harmony with form; and can show strength, workmanship, and cultural longevity with material; and show the material with shape. When put together, these parts make an aesthetic system that has been known for a long time as a unique feature of traditional Chinese design.
