Stone crafts are a kind of artwork made of natural stone and finely carved by humans. The following is some detailed understanding and summary of stone crafts:1. ClassificationClassification by shape:Curved plate products: such as arc plates, cylinders, regular arc curves, etc., the shapes are basically symmetrical, and the processing is relatively simple, mainly completed by simple processing such as cutting, grinding, and polishing.Identical cross-section special-shaped products: Regardless of the shape of the main body and its cross-section, the cross-section diagrams obtained by cutting according to the vertical plane of the column axis are the same, that is, the equal cross-section special-shaped stone.Classification by carving type:Round carving: also known as three-dimensional carving, is a three-dimensional sculpture that can be appreciated from multiple angles.Line carving: carving with negative or positive lines as a modeling method. Stone mainly uses negative line carving, and most of them are used for the outer wall surface decoration of buildings.Relief: A sculpture that carves out convex and concave images on a plane, which is an artistic expression between round carving and painting.Openwork carving: An artistic form of carving a hollow on stone, which requires a high level of technology and art.2. Application fieldsConstruction field: Suitable as a building material for building exterior walls, interior walls, floors, roofs, etc., due to its hardness, fire resistance, corrosion resistance and other characteristics, it can increase the stability and safety of the building.Decoration field: It can be used as the main material for indoor and outdoor decoration, such as door panels, columns, sculptures, garden walls, etc., with good aesthetics and texture effects.Crafts field: The hardness, strength and stability of stone make it an ideal material for making sculptures, stone statues, stone screens and other crafts.Other fields: Such as the agricultural field as a building material for bridges and canals, because of its anti-corrosion, corrosion resistance and good durability.3. Processing methodsThe processing methods of stone carving include hand carving, machine carving and computer carving. Hand carving can produce unique artistic effects, but the carving process is relatively slow; machine carving is fast and accurate, but it is difficult to handle complex carving shapes; computer carving is to input the design pattern into the computer, and the computer controls the machine to carve, which has the advantages of fast speed, high accuracy and ability to handle complex shapes.4. Development HistoryStone carving art has a long history, from prehistoric ancient stone tools to modern stone carving crafts, it has continued to develop and enrich. Especially in modern times, with the continuous development of science and technology and the continuous improvement of carving technology, the application scope of stone carving art has continued to expand, and the techniques and forms have become increasingly diverse.5. MaintenanceStone crafts need regular maintenance to maintain their beauty and safety. Maintenance measures may include cleaning, waterproofing, anti-corrosion, etc.Stone crafts have a rich variety, a wide range of applications and a variety of processing methods. They are a unique art form and cultural treasure.
