April's creative sharing was full of dry goods, which was very wonderful and brought us too many surprises and touches. The most important thing is to open our eyes. It turns out that you can draw like this, an outline, two words, an animal extending into a story;

Creative thinking: My understanding is to learn from other people's excellent works. Learning here does not mean imitation or copying, but learning by watching, remembering and drawing.

The first is to look, and looking is to carefully observe the characteristics of other people's excellent works. From the layout and composition, observe how the works use space and elements to form a picture.

Followed by the rhythm relationship, that is, the contrast between light and dark, cold and warm colors, density and size in the picture. Finally, the technique, that is, the method used to draw this work.

There are no two identical paintings and no two identical people in the world. Everyone is a unique and irreplaceable individual. Even if everyone draws the same element, the state presented in the pen is completely different.

First, the course "on-site" review

Second, the creative painting course "essentials" explanation

1, creative painting materials and methods

Practice in stages:

The first stage: draw an outline, draw an imaginary picture (9 squares) according to the outline, and draw your own elements through the limited outline;

Case 1 (original: the method of Sheena myth)

Try to break away from the original shape and show some objects with limited contours. In this way, we can find that because of some restrictions, we can draw more interesting graphics.

Case 2 (original: glasslinda's method)

Try to set some themes for yourself. Every time you draw a theme-related (9 squares) through this shape, you can also inspire a lot.

The theme of divergent thinking is set as follows:

1. Related to daily necessities;

2. Eat, drink, be merry, eat, wear, live and travel;

3. Animals and plants;

4. Human head, chest and body movements;

5. Different forms of expression (head up, head down, head up);

6. The combination of positive form and negative form;

7. Think about the outline (silhouette);

8. The internal articles are combined into the required shape;

9. Have an epiphany and paint freely;

The second stage: draw a picture by combining completely unrelated keywords. (9) Break the conventional thinking and draw unexpected scenes.

Case 1 (original: method of seven sauces)

The key word of this picture is spring+time.

Divergent thinking: spring outing-spring outing-flying kites outdoors-have a good day; Associating related elements through divergent thinking and extracting+combined elements;

Creative process: In the creative process, I seek inspiration from generation. In these references, I think the girl who flies a kite in the clock points to spring. Later, hair and kites were connected in an exaggerated way.

Case 2 (original: meatball method)

The key words of this picture: spring blue+lock.

Make a mind map through keywords, write out all the elements you can think of, and then extract+combined elements from them;

Divergent thinking: head-key-vast sea of people-find yourself-open your heart-unlock.

Creative process: Turn your head into a key through divergent thinking, and the black line around the lock represents floating waves, struggling to find your own lock in the vast "lock sea".

The third stage: make up a story with an animal element.

Case 1 (original: Alina Alan's method)

Creative concept of story series:

Picture books are designed to express an emotion, convey an idea and tell people some truth, so I considered the story and emotional expression of picture books when I created them.

My Story is a dream, expressing my inner desire. People living in fast-paced cities, due to the pressure of work and life, occasionally have negative emotions, sometimes feel depressed and become restless, leaving too little time and space for themselves outside work.

I want to have more time to paint, feel the tranquility and beauty of nature, and express my feelings in the form of dreams. The theme of the story is "sika deer and me". I like sika deer very much. Sika deer is also my lucky pet. )

2. Two steps to improve creativity:

(1) usually accumulates

Creative inspiration book: record anytime and anywhere. What happened around us, dreams, whimsy, points of interest, museum inspiration, dreams, books, movies, poems and warm sentences can all be sources of inspiration for later creation.

Photo album: Collect favorite pictures, photos and exquisite illustrations from time to time. The material library of illustration creation can be specifically classified, such as color, brushwork, modeling, scene, decoration and so on. In the subsequent creation, you can try to start a new creation with these accumulated colors and strokes.

Shi Kaida: A video about "Creative Storage Methods Necessary for Illustration Creation", in which the analysis of bookshelves and bookshelves is particularly helpful.

There are contents and skills in the bookshelf: the contents record your diary, reading notes and collected articles; Collect colors, strokes, shapes and scenes, and decorate the methods you are interested in and want to try.

Shelf: 1. What should I draw? 2. What skills did you try? You can use this method at the beginning of creation.

(2) Practice (action)

There are three ways to practice: visual diary: the method of creation is particularly useful, and you can accumulate materials for learning creativity by doing visual diary. (Weibo @ Hi Blow)

Realistic/copying photos: unconscious random experiment, telling stories with pictures; Copy works, collages and other interesting ways to record and learn.

3. Three practical ways to practice creativity:

(1) Learn to paint quickly.

The following are very practical creative practice methods extracted from imagination, composition and creative thinking, three of which are also practiced by us this time and are very practical.

1. After seeing one object, think of another object and relay in turn. (enhance your imagination, the same object, after 9 days, everyone's final result will be very different. )

2. Combine completely unrelated things and draw a picture. (Break away from conventional thinking and draw unexpected scenes)

3. Two different figures, combined to draw a portrait. (Try all kinds of interesting portraits)

4. Draw your inner feelings through a photo-expand different variants. Try to practice drawing your feelings, not the painting itself.

5. Draw an animal and draw your own animal. Provide words, and each of you can draw this animal in your own imagination. )

6. Try to draw an animal (cow, snake, spider, goose, fish, etc. ) Use different painting materials. Turn out all the existing painting tools at home and use them to find out more possibilities.

7. For an object: concreteness-abstraction (using different painting materials to distinguish style differences). Learn the generalization ability of specific things, generalize a little every day, and the more you draw, the easier it is.

8. Draw an outline and draw an imaginary picture according to the outline (draw your own elements through a limited outline).

9. Make up a story with an interesting little thing. An object, such as a fish, revolves around the fish every day and unfolds its own story.

10. Draw the same elements. Everyone listens to different music they like, and uses this element to draw their feelings in different music ~ (draw their feelings in music and learn more abstract expressions)

(2) Learning by sketching

Another creative practice method is sketch, from which we can get many ideas. The following is an excerpt from "Learning from Uncle Philip-Creative Sketching", which will be of great help to start practicing sketching.

1. Leave blank drawing paper and let yourself play freely. Empty your head, what you draw depends on the brush.

2. Blind drawing:

-close your eyes, feel the five senses with your left hand and pick up the strokes with your right hand;

-find a model, observe the five senses by yourself, and don't look down at your own paintings during painting.

Blind painting can help you learn how to observe things better and improve your painting level. )

3. Draw your feelings: The stronger a painting is endowed with personal feelings, the stronger its artistic appeal will be.

4. Attract your attention (imagination will fill the remaining blank)

-Create a visual focus for the work, focusing on the most important part of the picture, and filling the rest with imagination.

5. Collect materials: collect things that look inconspicuous and can't be drawn alone. (for example, go to the museum and fill it with drawing paper)

6. Natural scenery: Pay attention to the grotesque shapes that can be seen everywhere and explore their unique places.

7. Make good use of multiple perspectives: record everything around you in 360 degrees; Observing the same place from different characters' perspectives can also splice different time and space fragments from the same perspective.

(3) Learn from artists

When copying and recreating artists' works, we can better understand their expressions, emotions and colors in the picture. You can also play freely according to your own artistic masterpieces and your own imagination.

In April, I mainly studied the painting forms of artists such as paul klee, Kandinsky, Matisse and Van Gogh. In the future, we will have the opportunity to learn from other artists.

4. Recommended reading books

The books shared below are books related to creativity purchased before the start of school, and some useful points are extracted by combining practical exercises and other platforms' views on creativity.

Experience in reading creative books;

1. Imagination, composition and creative thinking

The composition and creativity mentioned in this book are particularly grounded and very practical. There are many creative methods in the book, and it is also a reference book for April's creative painting practice.

2. Creative sketch

Many sketches in the book deserve special attention, which will be of great help and inspiration to those who want to start sketching.

3. Lai Shengchuan's creativity

Teacher Lai Shengchuan's analysis of creativity is very in-depth. He analyzed the whole process of creativity from his own creative experience.

4.52 Creative Painting Practice and Creative Sketch Laboratory

These two books mainly talk about how to use different painting materials and creative methods to extract creative inspiration, which will be very helpful for people who want to try various materials, especially suitable for children's painting training institutions.

If the research direction is board drawing, it will not help much; Part of this book is about getting creative inspiration from artists' ideas.

There are relatively few creative parts in the book, but some of them, such as lines, colors and tones, are particularly wonderful in how to tell stories with illustrations.

6. Freestyle painting: 84 creative skills of illustrators.

There are 88 creative techniques such as background and space, alternative reality, mixed layers, spatial perspective, digital collage, etc., which can obtain many different creative methods and give you more inspiration and creative direction.

Third, the creation of painting summary and work display

Editor's Note: In April, Mr. Sheena read seven books about creative illustrations and watched eight hours of drama sharing. Take its essence and organize it into courseware, which is very serious, dedicated and efficient; (There should be applause+praise here)

If you see here as "unfinished" as I do, you can go to (Weibo: @ Sheena Myth) to share more dry goods about illustrations;

Illustrator Dream Team is a painting world similar to utopia. The atmosphere in the group is very good and full of positive energy. It's a pleasure to see the pictures posted by everyone in the group every day, and it's especially pleasant to learn and grow with friends of the same frequency.

The love of painting makes us look forward to life more.

The dream of painting lies in the brush in your hand;

Guide reading

Early childhood is the golden age of children's education, and 0-6 years old is the key period of children's brain development. During this period, children's absorption ability, memory ability, imitation ability, repetition ability and intuitive understanding ability are infinite, and these abilities will gradually weaken with age. Reading picture books is one of the best ways to cultivate these abilities. Classic picture books can not only enrich children's imagination, stimulate children's creativity and interest in reading, but also serve as a good guiding tool to make children more independent and confident.

Mrs. giggle

Edward Monson/France

Mrs giggle is a hen. She saw a white ball-oh, no, it's a small house! In fact, we all know that this is an egg! But Mrs. giggle is full of curiosity. She is curious to know who lives in it. So Mrs. Giggle took off her little hat, boots, mouth and little wings. Alas, she had to pluck her feathers and close her eyes. Then Mrs. giggle turned into a "ball ball" like a small white house. Then she can knock on the door. "boom! Knock on the door. Hey! " The small house is "open"

Maybe Mrs. giggle can give us a revelation, that is, only by "changing back" to her own children can we knock on their hearts.

Rooster's new neighbor

(Japan) Kishi Nobusuke Wen Zi/(Japan) High purity map

Before the owl moved here, the rooster played alone, ate alone, slept alone and was free. He is always full of enthusiasm for life.

The story happened after someone moved into the blue house next door.

The rooster wants to be friends with his new neighbors and always looks forward to meeting each other. However, the rooster walked around the house with a blue roof, but he had never seen this mysterious new neighbor.

"Did you sleep? Still going out? " "Are you too tired to move and get up?" "I really want to see one side!"

In the plot changes of picture books, we see a kind of sincerity, a kind of enthusiasm, a kind of simple and firm belief. We feel the joy of making friends from the process of making friends between roosters and owls.

The blue monster who wants everything.

Wen [English] Jenny Willis/Tu [English] Jenny Desmond

For the blue devils, what they can't get is new, and once they get it, they will soon get old. The blue devils put the word "old" in front of all unwanted things. Old hats, old sports cars, old sisters, old fathers, old mothers, old animals, old hats, old sports cars-we adults often talk about them; Old sisters, old fathers, old mothers and old animals are expressions of children's childlike interest, which are occasionally heard; The ancient sun-but I've never heard of it. This is the "new creation" of the Blue Devils. This kind of creation shows the expansion of the blue devil's heart. He doesn't care about anything, thinking that he can have everything or abandon it. But he forgot that without the sun, people would lose their warmth. When he swallowed the sun, darkness came. When he needed a home, he realized that no one would betray his parents at all, and there was nowhere to buy affection.

Picture Book Sharing: How to Help Children "Fall in Love with Painting"? A picture book is a book with many pictures but few words. It is considered as the most suitable book for children to read. At the same time, it forms a beautiful art museum with its unique way of displaying pictures, presents elegant painting art to children in a concise way, and opens an art door for children.

(1) Picture books build a bridge between children and masters.

Most classic picture books are written by famous artists. The screen design is novel, interesting and quite childlike. For example, David Shannon, the author of "David, No" series, studied painting in California Art Center and School of Design, drew illustrations for The New York Times, Time Magazine and Rolling Stone Magazine, and designed book covers. David's series of picture books created by him show stories with children's eyes and graffiti, exaggerating and daring, and making David's image deeply rooted in people's hearts. Another example is Miyanishi, the author of I am a Tyrannosaurus Rex Series. He graduated from the Art Department of Japanese University, majoring in fine arts. He was engaged in stage art and graphic design of puppet plays, and then created picture books. His series of works "I am Tyrannosaurus Rex" are warm and humorous, with modern painting design techniques, strong colors and strong visual impact. There are many famous picture book masters, such as anthony browne, Leo Leoni and Eric Carr. They are also masters of painting. Therefore, the classic picture book itself has a high artistic expression. In the process of appreciating picture books, it is a process for children to enter the world of painting masters and touch their hearts.

(2) Picture books have different styles, which broaden children's artistic vision.

Every picture book is different, some are colorful, some are unpretentious, some are graffiti style, and some are cute style. Every color and plot in the book can be an artistic eye to open children's hearts. For example, Bai, the author of Cloud Bread, is ingenious and arranges various materials such as painting, photography, paper-cutting, cloth art and so on. And then use photography and computer to process and synthesize to create this pop-style picture book. When reading this picture book, children can not only read creative stories, but also experience the fun of pop art.

Another example is "Unique You", which tells the growth story of a small fish named Danny. Kranz, the author, did not simply use painting skills, but painted groups of colorful, lovely and beautiful small fish on the stone with pebbles close to fish's life, so that children could smell the breath of nature all the time and feel the happy growth of Danny, a small fish in nature.

The expression of these picture books shows children that the original paintings are not limited to paper and pens, but also can use various materials in life to create brand-new pictures, broaden their horizons and make them more creative.

(3) The rich storylines of picture books stimulate children's imagination and painting power.

The story content of picture books is always lively and interesting. Observe with children's eyes, discover and explore the world, tell stories with children's words and phrases, and arouse children's singing and a series of reverie. For example, the author of the picture book "I don't know who I am" described the story of rabbit Dali B knowing and discovering himself in humorous language, making children think "Who am I?" Where is the land I come from? What do I eat? Where do I live? Can I help others? "Another example is The Hundred-decker Bus, which is a super interesting picture book. When every child sees this book, he will be shocked by the 100-storey bus that flies into the sky and is full of scenery from all over the world. Children are always eager to move and want to have such a great bus. At this time, as parents, we should try our best to encourage children, guide them to exert their imagination, draw what they think with a pen, extend from picture books to painting, naturally pick up a brush, express their inner feelings, fall in love with painting, and be willing to express themselves with a brush.

Picture books have such great charm, so what should we do?

Enlighten children to draw in family picture books? Personally, I think it can be divided into the following two steps:

First, look at the picture book.

Only when parents and children can understand picture books and have a spiritual fit with the author can they inspire more painting inspiration. Parents should read with their children and read the picture book thoroughly. In the process of reading picture books, parents should consciously guide their children to observe the color matching, composition and expression techniques in picture books, gradually improve their aesthetic ability in a subtle way, and stimulate their desire to start painting.

The second step is to draw a picture book.

After parents and children read the picture book, we are always moved by some scenes in the picture book. At this time, children can be guided to draw their own feelings. Before drawing picture books, parents should make preparations in advance, which can be divided into the following four aspects: design theme-material preparation-guidance and inspiration-comments and encouragement. Taking the painting of the picture book "Bus on 100 Floor" as an example, I set the theme as "My 100 Floor Bus" and prepared colored pencils and four A4 white sheets for my children. In the process of drawing with my children, I guided them to observe the buses in the picture book carefully, while inspiring them to use their imagination and boldly draw their own buses. So, the children drew layers of buses on paper with simple lines and circles. We put four A4 pieces of white paper together and drew a 56-story bus belonging to children. When I saw my child's works, I gave him encouragement and evaluation in time, and posted the paintings in a conspicuous place at home, which aroused the child's greater interest in painting. I believe that the clever combination of picture books and paintings can release children's imagination.

Finally, I recommend three enlightenment picture books that my children and I particularly like: Arrow with Colored Pen, Dot, Little Blue and Little Yellow. The three books have their own characteristics: "Arrows have colored pens"-let children see that they can draw a fairy tale world as long as they are willing to take out their pens; "Point"-let children see the transformation process from a writer who never dared to draw to a master of picture books, and help children build confidence; "Little Blue and Yellow" allows children to see the magical changes in color mixing and enter the rich color world.

As Song Juzhi said: "The pictures in the picture book are more useful than most people think." Therefore, the ingenious integration of picture books and painting can diversify painting materials, visualize the theme and give painting a brand-new starting point. I believe that children's painting talent can also be fully tapped to create more beautiful artistic flowers!
