What is lacking in China's current art creation is thinking and concepts. The ability of thinking determines the concept, and the concept is the driving force for the development of art. The thinking process of artistic creation should go through the process from sensibility to rationality and then to sensibility. The way of thinking can be divided into horizontal thinking and vertical thinking. Horizontal thinking is a diachronic and transversal thinking, which has the characteristics of simultaneity, transverseness and openness. Vertical thinking is a thinking process with the emergence and development of things as the clue, which can also be divided into logical thinking, abstract thinking and feeling and feeling. Logical thinking is conducive to information analysis and processing, while abstract thinking is responsible for expansion and innovation, while feeling and feeling are judgments and tastes of beauty. The expression of ideas in modern art creation can be divided into diversion and juxtaposition, tampering and replacement, and transformation and reconstruction. The use of materials requires open ideas, which are all required by modern art creation: artistic language, creative thinking, and free features. They are synchronized and integrated with modern and post-modern aesthetic trends, emphasizing diversity, emphasizing the comprehensiveness and multiplicity of materials and technologies, and reflecting the characteristics of the times.
