Abstract

This paper aims to explore the application and influence of Gestalt psychology theory in the teaching of "blank space" aesthetics in Chinese painting. Through in-depth analysis of the correspondence between the visual perception principle of Gestalt psychology and the unique aesthetic characteristics of "blank space" in Chinese painting, this paper reveals the intrinsic relationship between the two in aesthetic experience, visual organization and psychological perception. Gestalt psychology emphasizes that the whole perception is superior to the sum of its parts, and the interaction and tension between visual elements. This theoretical framework provides a novel perspective for understanding the artistic conception, spirit and aesthetic value of "blank space" in Chinese painting.
