LEARNING ABOUT FORMS OF COMPOSITION USED IN CARVINGS OF HOANG XA COMNUNAL HOUSE

Abstract

Composition is the term in art, showing how size, shapes and correlation of elements in a work of art are put together. Art heritage from ancient artisans had left valuable experiences of composition selection during the process of creating decorative carvings for communal houses from the Le Trung Hung period. These lessons have become the basic knowledge that lays the foundation for art to be inherited and promoted in the latter stages. Carvings in Hoang Xa communal house are one of the typical examples of how forms of composition are applied successfully. From this, the art of composition has become a phenomenon and is used ingeniously to create values that stay forever.
