In the process of creating art works collection, it is in the early stage to find inspiration and do research in the face of computers at home; At the later stage of deepening, the students elaborately drew renderings in the studio. They all thought that "closed" was the most efficient learning state. Indeed, with the development of science and technology, the network can not only bring us all kinds of comprehensive information, but also rich software to meet our different mapping needs, and can complete all the work of the collection without leaving home. However, this way of learning will also have some drawbacks, such as the network information source is not accurate enough, and the form of works is single; Even, because many students lack the experience of completing projects independently, it is difficult to have an accurate control over time planning and work quality. Today, we are going to talk with you. It is also a very necessary form of creation to go out of the home and into the crowd from time to time. What creative problems can we solve by going out more at different stages of art collection creation?

　　 1. Early stage: go out to find inspiration

The online world provides us with a variety of online resources, from inspiration collection websites to online movies and books, and because of the numerous interesting resources, we often get lost in the ocean of the network, killing time without finding any substantive inspiration.

Secondly, many students only store a picture and take a photo of the way to collect network resources, which does not extend to thinking, so they lack the true emotional connection with the works, and of course, they can not be transformed into inspiration;

Everyone has different situations to trigger thinking, and the way to find inspiration is not limited to online. The Internet is just a tool for us. We don't need to put ourselves into a frame too much. Instead of sitting in front of the computer and meditating, we should contact real people, such as going to art exhibitions, traveling, collecting wind, or just going out to socialize When you communicate with people, you will also get different inspirations.

In addition, the creation of art works collection is a true and rigorous process. When we choose a theme, we can not only understand it one-sided through art works. Such inspiration sources can easily limit the spread of creativity, but also lack personal real feelings. Therefore, how to deepen and improve the theme requires us to add practical experience.

Especially for industries and products to solve the problems faced by specific groups of people, it is difficult to understand their real pain points without contacting the real audience, and it is also impossible to create a design work with real resonance.

Admission Royal College of Art The first project in his work collection is an office website designed for an art company. The inspiration came from a chat with Party A of the design company, when he learned that both designers and employers are facing problems in communication.

Therefore, this set of works includes: the functional framework of the web page, web page interaction and web page design, and has also made corresponding adaptation design for different terminals. The biggest feature of this web page is that the staff can carry out online discussions according to the target users and user needs, which fundamentally solves the problems of different users.

　　 2. Research: Go out to find "evidence"

We found the creation theme of the collection of works of art. Before determining the design scheme, we all know that we need to carry out research and material experiments. So at this stage, we are more willing to stay in the studio and work hard, "dig deep" in the network and the theme related materials, and join in hands-on practice to carry out various combinations and attempts.

Of course, there is no mistake in this way of research, but overseas art schools attach great importance to the accuracy and preciseness of research sources, so most of the time it is required to be first-hand data or experimental results that can withstand scrutiny, and network resources do not have this accuracy. If we do not verify, Once there is an error, it will directly affect the subsequent design results.

So in the research of art works collection creation, whether you choose field projects, people or even conceptual topics, we recommend that you get away from the computer as much as possible and have direct contact with the project. This benefit is not only to obtain first-hand information, but also to enrich our inspiration sources and make the most authentic works in the process of collecting information.

Gained a lot from AA Architecture Alliance College and UCL University College London Zhang, a student of the Grand Slam in the six universities, is from Chengdu. His works focus on four projects. The projects include small bookstores, residences, kindergartens, art gallery design, and large high-rise buildings. Both site selection and problem solving methods come from his in-depth research on his own life.

His first project base is located in the airport campus of Southwest University for Nationalities, which is a resettlement area for relocated farmers. At present, the district has become an important living service supporting place for teachers and students of Southwest University for Nationalities and nearby residents.

Through research, he found that most of the residents are tenants, who spend a lot of time at home, and mainly pass the time through their hobbies. Therefore, Zhang's design scheme is embedded in a large number of public spaces in the form of codes O and 1. Public spaces and private spaces are combined in different forms, while retaining the existing community buildings. Stimulate the new vitality of the community by implanting different public spaces.

The only reason why Zhang can accurately find solutions from the perspective of solving problems is that he starts from his own personal experience and understanding of residents, and explores the value of architectural design to society through his own design.

　　 3. Later stage: go out for help

Students will inevitably lag behind in their action due to emotional ups and downs, solidification of thinking, etc. in the long-term independent creation. If students have these problems, they can consider stopping the work at hand temporarily and going out to think about and accept the help of others.

Of course, the first thing we should do is to adjust our mood. The creation of art works collection is a long process, and it is normal to have no inspiration and action occasionally. Students should not lose heart, try to adjust their work and rest, go out more to see new things, and their mood will naturally recover when they are in a good mood.

Secondly, we can seek the help of others. Of course, this does not mean to do it on behalf of others, but to actively communicate with professionals and ask them for their objective opinions on your works at this stage. Because we are too deep into a certain link in the creation process, it is difficult to think about the overall layout outside the framework, So opinions from onlookers can sometimes help us get out of trouble.

Students of DIY can ask their professional teachers or experienced seniors, or even students of other majors, to try to re-examine our works from the perspective of others, to find the problem, and to continue to supplement and improve our works.

This is just like the critical mode that natural light has always respected. In critical, professional teachers and students will analyze their views on the works from different perspectives. In fact, when you tell everyone about the works, it is also an overall "review". In the process of communication and sharing, both parties will also help you get more effective information, To make targeted adjustment and deepening.

In natural light, in addition to critical, each student will also have at least four portfolio reviews in the process of creating art portfolios, including professional tutors, department heads of "six major departments", teaching and research centers, and members of overseas alliance admissions officers. Each portfolio review is a guarantee to improve the admission probability.

Art collection creation has never been a "behind closed doors" job. We want to harvest high-quality collection projects, but also can not do without a variety of forms of practice and communication: whether it is to broaden the horizon and receive new things in the early stage, or to experience in the creation process, to collect the most authentic feedback. If you encounter any difficulties in the creation of art works collection, try to go out of your comfort zone, break the shackles with cooperation and communication, and broaden our creative ideas. The world is so big that everything can become the material in our hands!
