A team led by Professor Nan Yu from Sculpture major at Guangzhou Academy of Fine arts applied 3D scanning and 3D printing technologies to their artwork creation. They reproduced the scene of appointing Tso Tsung-Tang (You may know the famous food of General Tso’s Chicken, which has the same name, but in fact they have no relation at all), one of the four prominent ministers in the late Qing Dynasty, to be the principal of Lujiang Academy, paying their tribute to the Chinese tradition of ancient academy culture and virtual of respecting teachers.

In the entire miniature scene, each figure is about 10 centimeters and finely sculptured, appearing lively and perfectly staged the scene. So how did Nan Yu with his team take the time machine to ancient China and reproduce the vivid miniature scene? Let’s unveil how the fine art piece comes into being.

The artistic process of the miniature scene

1. Concept Design

Based on ancient records, Nan Yu drafted the miniature scene including five parts, which was also the standard process of an academy appointing a principal at that time in China.

“The combination of art and 3D technology can make the abstract history representational, allowing more public to relive history, experience the traditional virtual of respecting teachers, and memorizing the historical people and events. Thanks to the advanced handheld 3D scanning and 3D printing technology of SHINING 3D, history is now livelier. Nan Yu
