With the progress of society, people's demand for art and culture is also rising. The eight traditional art categories have extended a variety of art forms in the continuous integration. This trend is also widely reflected in the training of future artists in art colleges. Therefore, "interdisciplinary" is a creative direction that cannot be ignored in the creation of students' art overseas works. We often introduce some "interdisciplinary" ways between different majors, but in fact, there are many directions that students can learn from the literature works that are the first of the eight major arts. How can foreign art colleges obtain inspiration from literature works?

Reading literary works can not only improve the cultural heritage of students, but also an important way to increase our imagination and thinking ability. We often say that there are 1000 Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. The same story brings different emotional changes and ways of thinking to everyone, This kind of non graphical stimulation will also help you get more first-hand inspiration.

　　 Choose literary works with emotional resonance

First of all, when students choose literary works as the source of inspiration for the collection of works of foreign art schools, the theme, category and story of books are not the most important. As long as students have accumulated some independent opinions after a complete reading, it is a good source of works to be able to express their feelings.

Secondly, in order to establish a resonance between the final works and the admissions officer, the literary works selected by the students should have a certain popularity, at least the famous works or stories in a broad sense have a certain social significance, so that books with a mass base can also give more primitive accumulation to our works.

Books express their thoughts by means of words and language. The principle of selecting literary works is clarified. The next step is how to transform the form of expressing ideas into real design elements. The complete story line of this part is not to be controlled, but to select clues and factors that can be used for our theme.

Admission London Fashion Institute Hu Hu, a LCF clothing major, is inspired by the famous novel Letter from a Strange Woman. In her opinion, this novel not only presents us with a sad and beautiful "impossible love".

Moreover, the protagonist is not the charming R, but a "strange" woman. She has been writing a letter to R, a lover who does not know her, all her life without consequences. Hu Hu believes that every woman will become an "unknown" woman at some point in her life.

Growth, love, loss, death and birth are the lifelong topics of most women. This book is dedicated to her lover, and Hu Hu's project is also dedicated to every unknown woman. She extracted all the descriptions of her fantasies and emotions from the book, and put these words into real elements with dreamy colors.

　　 Building an Imagination World in Books

How to obtain inspiration from literary works from works of foreign art colleges? There are many themes in literary works, such as poems, novels, essays, and plays. The specific themes are more diverse, depending entirely on the records of real events, but more on a virtual world shaped by the author's subjective thoughts.

In order to make these conceptual words become specific pictures in everyone's mind, the author has carefully set up characters, scenes, story conflicts, etc., and what we need to do is to use a more rigorous logic to realize it and become concrete works.

So many times, when students watch literary works, they are easily attracted by the scenes constructed in the book, but they do not know how to grasp the inspiration, visualization of consciousness concepts, and turn them into ones with their own unique aesthetic style, or with thought-provoking logical connotation.

To solve this problem, what we need to do is not to copy the structure in the book, but to extend to the inner part of the problem. For example, we can extract the abstract words in the topic sentence, and then find the material according to these abstract words, and then try various collocation to realize the situation in the book.

get AA Architectural Alliance College Lee, a UCL offer student from University College London, chose the virtual space in the book Folding in Beijing by the writer Hao Jingfang to "build a city with different spaces and different strata that can be folded like a" Transformers ", but also" have a more grim sense of reality ""

In this project, the social structure is endowed with class level logic - society is divided into the upper class, the middle class and the bottom class, and the urban landscape and social resources enjoyed by each class are separated by different "gateways".

During the creation of the collection, Lee Students expressed an anti utopian abstract urban concept with a concrete landscape plan. This is a huge experimental project. The project itself has certain difficulties: "three layers of society" and "three layers of class". These relationships are intertwined. How to sort out these relationships and express them in a coherent and closely connected way with specific landscape architecture plans, In fact, it is very difficult.

Therefore, the creation focus of the project is mainly focused on the presentation of the ideological dimension. In the process of creation, the teacher of natural light mainly started teaching from the direction of thinking guidance, turning the big and illusory concept into a concrete and visual design scheme, and finally taking a delicate local model as the final presentation.

　　 Borrow words for a silent communication

Words can not only record inspiration, express ideas and ideas, but also "explain" the connotation of works as a specific design symbol. Although the form of directly borrowing words or books sounds much simpler than extracting and re creating, there are still many differences between the words involved in concept and image expression in the works and the simple explanation.

First of all, the most important thing is to fit the theme. No matter what form it is, it serves to express the theme. After all, our art works collection is a visual work, which is fundamentally different from literary works. Words can only appear as an auxiliary. We must distinguish the primary and secondary on the basis of a good idea.

Secondly, we need to find appropriate means of expression. Artistic works are often the product of inspiration capture. Most of the content we need to express with the help of words is abstract ideology, but we must avoid excessive use of redundant words, that is, the logic of the work is irrelevant and purely "decorative" text elements, but try to focus on the connotation of the work.

Yu, a student majoring in Huangyi Graphic Arts, was admitted. One of the projects mainly talked about the relationship between her and her mother. She thinks that the relationship between mother and daughter is a bit like the relationship between people and daily objects, which coexist but inevitably suffers wear and tear in daily life.

So she chose the medical books often used by her mother as a doctor, as well as some short sentences she recorded in her observation. She combined words with some reconstituted objects, hoping to earn off her mother daughter identity and have a silent communication with each other.

This project includes four works, such as one piece of "could you see me". It was on the page of a medical book where she described her disease that she drew a female thigh and wrote a poem between the pages:

Other works of this project are We just saw each other, You never see the green and Don't. Headings are based on words and appear in each small work. They combine some simple materials, such as light boxes with infrared induction, videos, handmade paper and screen printing, to enrich the form of words and the weight of emotions.

How to obtain inspiration from literary works from works of foreign art colleges? The "crossover" between literature and art has a long history. Whether it is "painting and calligraphy are not separated" in ancient China, or drama, film, literature and art now, they not only share the same cultural source, but also constantly integrate and inspire each other in the development process. For our students, reading is a part of the learning process, Not only can we improve our artistic accomplishment, but also can we look for fresh visual language from the rich accumulation of literary works to add more vitality and vitality to our works!
