Abstract: he influences of clay and fire on the aesthetic perception in ceramic arti、tic creation have been demonstrated in the paper by the differences of artists'thinking modes among contemporary ceramic art, traditional ceramic art and general pure art. This shows that ceramic artists fail to see clearly the whole of ceramic artworks at one time in the objective world, they can only notice or find out medium's aesthetic factors so as to have creative impulses, and then accomplish the creation in a process of incessant consideration and choice - making. The significance to master and creatively use these media like clay and fire, have been emphasized by stating the latent relations between the formation of ceramic artistic style and medium characteristics.
