الصياغات التشكيلية المستمدة من جسم الإنسان و الحيوان لإثراء الخزف في السودان

Abstract EN

With its aesthetic and natural values, whether realistic or abstract, the human and animal body is an incentive for the potter to give a new dimension to ceramics and global artistic production.

Those formative decorative designs derived from the human and animal body, according to each people's local visions, emanate from their thought and culture, and beliefs.

The formative designs inferred from them constitute the general structure of the ceramic body, overtaking it as a limited decorative element.

The human body and animal are also standard for aesthetic values .

The synthesis and experimentation of modernity plasticize in forming materials and synthesis methods between them.

The presentation of formative alternatives and innovative solutions and technical treatments for their surfaces is consistent with the clay material's specificity and the stages that the ceramic pieces go through and are affected by the various factors that affect the final product.

The researcher described and analysed samples of the available ceramics that fit the research title.

These models go back to some ancient Sudanese civilizations, and the ceramic professors produced other models at the College of Fine and Applied Arts in Khartoum.

They are the ones who employed the human and animal body.

They also incorporated them into different designs, using manual construction techniques, such as building with clay ropes, in part of the ceramic piece and other parts executed by the potter's wheel, with traditional decorative units associated with a specific region or tribe.

The researcher explained the physical composition of that Models, their features, and the ornamentation of their shapes and colors.

Moreover, the merging and harmonization of all this, side-by-side, formulates interconnected formulative elements, confirms the piece's idea and the form of the forged elements, and the enrichment of artistic and aesthetic values, which is what the contemporary Sudanese potter means.
