I Illustration major studying abroad

　　 "I gave up learning vocal music for more than ten years, and chose to study design abroad!"

I have a wide range of interests, including painting, vocal music and piano. When time is free, I will choose to travel, take photos and read, Grow up in the atmosphere of art, and constantly enrich your inspiration.

I started learning zither in the third grade of primary school and piano in the sixth grade. In the fifth grade, he began to learn vocal music. At the beginning of his junior year, he began to learn bel canto performance. Later, he participated in the "Belt and Road" Sino German Music Competition and won a silver medal.

When I decided to study art, I personally wanted to study pure art, but my parents would be more concerned about future career development, so I decided to choose Art and design can be both professional illustration When I was a sophomore in senior high school, I came to study in natural light. Considering the reason of the epidemic, I chose the United States, Britain and the United States. Both Britain and the United States have schools that I like. It's up to the development of the epidemic to decide my final choice.

I was very happy after the interview and was recognized by the admissions officer

II Anglo American Tongshen, I found confidence in illustration design

At the beginning of the preparation of the application, although I had some hand drawn foundation, I was still confused to integrate with the design thinking of overseas universities. Thanks to the professional tutor of natural light, In the basic course stage, I systematically helped me sort out the framework of creation, and deeply understood the British and American illustration design specialty. This has played a directional role in guiding my future work collection.

I also improved my professional skills in the continuous progress of the project. Since I can remember, I have been studying painting and taking part in competitions to win prizes, so There is a certain foundation for painting, which is also my biggest source of confidence. However, at the beginning, I did not understand the creation method of overseas art works collection, which led to a lack of patience when creating projects.

　　 In my first project, this project was about the theme of combating second-hand smoke. Taking the story as a clue, it tells the story that the little hero in the closed elevator is extremely uncomfortable because of the second-hand smoke. The smoke is like a monster tearing at the little girl, but the smoker is very cold and remains indifferent.

The whole project is presented on cloth, All figures' outlines and details need to be embroidered with needle and thread , because of the large amount of tasks and the fact that I will be pricked by needles inadvertently, I gradually began to lose patience and feel very irritable. But the teacher of natural light gradually taught me not to worry, and finally felt that my efforts were worth it when I saw the finished product.

III Creation process of works collection of illustration major studying abroad

"Perceive art in your own world, and gradually break through the cocoon to become a butterfly."

　　 I think illustration design is to tell stories to others in the form of images, and express their inner feelings through illustration. I seldom contact the outside world , so most of my works The inspiration comes from my personal experience and understanding of social events.

　　 1. Self portrait of mental journey

One of my projects is Composed of three self portraits of me This group of works has been produced for a long time, which shows my mental journey. The three paintings have different characteristics and also show my gradually clear mood. Because I suffered from serious depression in high school, I began to close myself. My first painting is to describe me during this period. The background of the whole painting is the boundless universe, showing a slightly dim painting style. The divided self appears lonely and small in the universe.

The second one is a collage, Painted an expressionless figure in the form of sketch, with colored collages around It means that my family and friends care about me, so that I gradually open my heart and walk out of the closed self world.

The third one uses propylene Completed, the overall picture is different from the previous two more dreamy and beautiful. The character's mouth has a smile arc, and the body is in the form of a silkworm chrysalis. There are countless colorful butterflies flying around, which means I I am about to break the cocoon and become a butterfly. I hope I have the ideal state to welcome the bright future 。

　　 2. Life in flames

This project Inspired by Australian forest fires Seeing countless small animals who lost their homes, relatives and even lives due to fire in the news, I tried to feel their powerlessness and pain.

I use clay to make painful images of animals and plants, forming three-dimensional stone sculptures. Then paint the statue, The whole metaphor is used to describe the state of agony when the forest fire burns to the living beings in the fire.

　　 3. Beautiful swans were once ugly ducklings

This project is a relatively large device, and the overall feeling is also very dreamy. The theme is that the ugly duckling grows up with beautiful wings, and finally flies to the moon. I used white latex, iron wire and stone clay to create the overall shape, and added color chips to the wings to create an extremely gorgeous effect.

This also expresses that as I grow up step by step, I gradually find the direction of my own efforts and move towards the ideal future through my own transformation.

　　 "I will tell you my story."

By choosing illustration design, I found confidence in continuous improvement, and learned to express my feelings through artistic works in the process of making collections. For more than a year, I have grown up in the process of transformation and planned my future development.

After graduation, I should Interdisciplinary study of animation design in graduate stage Animation design is also a narrative story to convey emotion, but it is more intuitive and understandable than illustration design. There is still a long way to go. I hope I can Tell stories to more people through constantly improving design level to feel the emotion and power brought by art 。
