Introduction to life ceramic art development present situation and development significance

The distant neolithic age， due to the development of agriculture， caused the change of people's lifestyle. This led to a great feat of human transformation of nature -- the invention of living pottery. With the continuous improvement of agricultural economy， the relationship between pottery and daily life became more and more close， and the emergence of pottery had a great positive effect on human evolution and development.

The original handmade pottery and porcelain was accompanied by human development for thousands of years. After the 19th century， manual production gradually turned into mechanical production. Large quantities of industrial products to satisfy the majority people's material needs， but with the continuous development of economy， people's aesthetic ability， practical ceramics by hand with go back to the concept of modern people's life， and gives its updated content， it pay more attention to the combination of practicality and artistry of life. Therefore， it is of great significance to explore the present situation and development of Chinese life ceramic art in the context of the background and development of the era.

1.The concept of living pottery and the background of The Times

Life pottery art， refers to the handmade and practical ceramic ware. It is different from mechanized and quantified production of industrial ceramics by hand. It is different from modern pottery that is only for furnishing. Life pottery is a supplement and compromise between the aesthetic needs of the industry and the practical needs of modern ceramic art. Life ceramic art by hand with practical life and life of art appreciation effect vessel， producers in the practicability of vessels as the carrier， with the help of nature material to express personal emotions， personality and aesthetic demand. The life pottery art of personality is full， close the distance between human and nature， meeting people's aesthetic personality requirement， thus， people begin to recognize the value of life pottery.

2.The present situation of the development of ceramic art in China

China's life pottery has been a history of thousands of years from the time of color pottery culture. Nowadays， most of the hand making and living utensils have been replaced by unified， standardized mechanized daily products. Industrial porcelain meets people's needs with low price and practical function. Nowadays， the phenomenon of Chinese ceramic art entering the human life space instead of the industrial day porcelain is very few， and the market can also reflect the development of the industry.

3.How to develop China's life pottery

The development of Chinese ceramics in the present stage is slow. However， the increasing economic growth， the gradual rise of people's knowledge level and aesthetic complex， and the renewal of consumption concept are the favorable factors for the development of life ceramics. How to look for the direction of development， as a modern ceramic art worker is duty-bound.In my opinion， the development of living pottery should be done as follows：

1.Enhance the propaganda of ceramic art culture

China is the birthplace of ceramic culture and art， Jingdezhen is a household name， but the ceramic art through thousands of years of history development to the present pottery， one of the diversified forms of life is not known to many people. The development of modern living ceramic art in China is still in the primary stage， life ceramic art to change the present humanities environment， depends on strengthening to a series of propaganda of ceramic art， so as to make modern life ceramic household public art.

2.We will launch the education activities for pottery

The development of living pottery depends on the generation of group consciousness， which can form the climax of creation. Education is the foundation of the country， and education， which popularize basic national knowledge， strengthens the education of ceramic culture， which is imperative in the whole education system in China. Therefore， to make the ceramic art really become the public art， must grab since childhood， such as appropriate with some simple easy system in primary and secondary schools of ceramic art teaching， daily life or open elective courses， so will not produce fault phenomenon， promote the development of Chinese ceramic art， thereby giving impetus to the climax of ceramic art life come as early as possible.

3.Walk China's own life ceramic road

Today we're going to continue to develop manual life ceramics， should carry forward our country for thousands of years of life pottery making by hand， on the basis of traditional sober analysis， draw lessons from foreign experience， the development of ceramic art of China's own life path. Life ceramic art development， not only should inherit the traditional， study abroad， but also in relation to the modern's age characteristic， should according to the requirements of the modern aesthetic personality， consumption idea and habits for development direction.In more depth， it is to find the appropriate point of life ceramics and market. Nowadays， some ceramists are starting from this aspect， drawing on the nutrition of western and Japanese ceramics on the basis of tradition， and have started a daily pottery ware with high artistic content. These artistic commodities have won the favor of consumers， promoted the tradition， strengthened international ceramic exchanges and expanded the market.

It comes down to the fact that Chinese life pottery art is the product of the organic combination of human material civilization and spiritual civilization， which is adapted to social material and cultural life. Its development process will be tortuous， but it has a broad development space based on the profound cultural background of our country. The life of pottery in our country will continue to develop under the trend of popularization.
