If a painting is a child conceived by the painter, the most difficult thing is undoubtedly to give the child a name.
A successful painting is important, but a good name will also add a lot of color to the painting. When we read the excellent painting name, we sometimes laugh and sometimes amaze.
Before you name your painting, you should first understand the intention of your painting, think about the symbols of the object you are painting, and then choose an appropriate name according to the content you are painting. Good painting names can be roughly divided into the following types:
1. Appropriate picture theme
According to your own picture content, you can choose any name for what you draw, which is practical, direct and clear at a glance.
2. Metaphor and analogy
Metaphor and analogy can make the depicted things vivid and deepen people's impressions. When using it as a painting name, it can make people easy to understand and understand. Such as Juan Miro's abstract painting "Clown Carnival". Perhaps most people can't see what is drawn in this picture, but when they look at the name and the clown-like image in the picture, the picture immediately becomes vivid.
3. With the help of fables or stories
A good painting usually has a higher idea. With the help of a fable or story that is deeply rooted in people's hearts, people can suddenly understand the intention of the painter and understand the theme and content contained in it.
4. Music painting
Music painting means that the viewer seems to hear music or sound when enjoying the painting. Because sound is invisible in a picture, words related to music or sound are often used to name paintings. The most famous ones are Kandinsky's paintings and Miller's Late Bell.
5. Pun pun is also a rhetorical device. In a certain language environment, with the help of phonetic (homophonic pun) or semantic (semantic pun) connection, words and phrases have double meanings. Pun makes the work more interesting and promotes the theme. Pun can be divided into homophonic pun and semantic pun. Qi Baishi's "All the Best", "Good luck", "Treasure Map" and "Everything meets the head" are homophonic puns.
