8. Painting
The first law shows that they wanted spirit in the art. The second is bone method which means the close link of handwriting and the brushstrokes. The third, fourth and fifth laws shows that the artists were really concerned about detail since they planned where everything was going to go, what color they would be, and how they were positioned. The final sixth lets you know how much they valued those that came before and those that taught them.

10. Sculptures - Ceramics
Pottery wasn’t invented until the fourth millennium. They created earthenware bowls and stonewares and go back from the neolithic to the Tang Dynasty
The Chinese used terracotta, porcelain, and kneaded clay to create ceramics, elegant vessels, and pottery.
They used glaze to produce a hard, glassy surface to their ceramics. They also decorated the ceramics and vessels by painting the surface and using the glaze thickly to add a dramatic effect

11. Sculpture
Most Dynasties had different styles in ceramics, the Shangs used to model the clay into a model, then once dried they would add damp clay to where it was still flexible and so on to get the shape they wanted
The Chinese, such as the Zhou and Qin, used jade (or nephrite) for artwork and ritual objects in the Neolithic period. It was believed to posses magical qualities that could protect the dead. Due to the hardness, the sculptures had to use methods other than their stone tools

12. Sculpture
Since Buddhism was a dominant religion, many forms of Buddha were created, the earliest dating to the Disunity period
They created armies out of life-sized terracotta
In Korea, although there was Buddhist influence, their sculptures were more smooth rather than rigid surfaces.
In modern China, porcelain was used more in ceramics or delicate dishes
Human sculptures were more human realistic features
