Abstract

Woodcuts are the oldest and most enduring art in the printmaking family. The most important techniques and dominant features of woodcuts are the cutting skills and the construction of black and white composition. Artists use the knife to express the virtual reality of the picture, the levels of content and the feelings of the author. The molding and rhythm of woodcut is closely related to the construction of black and white rules. This paper analyzes the combination of cutting skills and black and white composition in the process of carving and the aesthetic pursuit based on the cutting skills and construction of black and white composition to provide some references for relevant researchers.
