For students growing up in the Internet era, in addition to busy academic tasks, leisure time is mostly used to brush the microblog hot search, station B, dithering Or go out to find something delicious and fun. The mobile phone is our "mobile charging source". Have you ever thought that Weibo, Gaode Map and Bilibili, the three entertainment methods that integrate functions, information and social interaction, can also be powerful tools for our artistic creation? The essence of artistic creation is to express one's feelings. How can we find inspiration from the popular microblog search, Gaode map and B station for the creation of professional art works? If students can dig out the inspiration and effective information needed in creation from these personal interests, social phenomena and geographical locations, they will also create a work of art with full core and rich appeal! Therefore, today we will take Weibo Hot Search, Gaode Map and Station B as examples to talk about the creation of professional art works collection and how to correctly mine these creative treasures hidden around us!

　　 Hot microblog search

Weibo itself is a social platform for sharing short, real-time information. This year, Sina Weibo will have 341 million users. In addition to private users, enterprises and institutions also regard Weibo as the best voice channel. All kinds of views and events can be widely communicated and interacted through sharing in a short time, and microblog hot search represents the hot topic that people pay most attention to and express the most opinions in a certain period of time.

Real life is our best Portfolio Coaching Source of inspiration. Modern society has a variety of forms, and hot events represent the most concerned, interested and realistic issues of most netizens at present. The hot search in the above picture this afternoon is an example, which includes entertainment news, political events, social current events, etc. These topics represent a phenomenon and a phased social trend of thought.

1. Material library of social topics

The most substantial use of microblog hot search for the creation of students' professional art works is to serve as the material library for our social topic selection. In the past, students may have watched the hot microblog search just to see the excitement, but if they noticed that they chose an event of interest and profound significance as the starting point, they could turn it into the best project topic after thinking and research.

2. As a sharp tool for user research

Usually we click into a hot topic, which is not only a microblog, but also lists microblogs and comments related to events throughout the network. And because of the spontaneity and privacy of microblogging, these views are usually very real and diverse.

The opinions are not necessarily correct but comprehensive enough. For the creation of students' professional art works, exploring the factors behind different voices can not only help us understand this topic more deeply, but also increase the depth of research and enrich the project results

　　 Gaud map

As its name implies, electronic map is a tool for navigating and finding places. However, as the most leading digital map app in China, Gaode Map has not only the function of finding places, but also the function of high-quality satellite maps, AR live scenes, multi-directional real-time road conditions, route planning, building distribution, and so on. It is an excellent tool for students to conduct site selection research.

Especially for students majoring in landscape design, urban planning and other majors, they often need to face the project site selection with a very large space volume. The Gaud map can also display a three-dimensional top view of a large scene according to the adjustment of the scale, which can effectively help students grasp the overall scale relationship and spatial layout.

The above figure shows two presentation methods of Gaud map. In the first figure, we can see the destination, the distribution of surrounding business districts and street information simply and intuitively; In the second satellite map, we can clearly see the shape of the building, the distribution of traffic areas, the information of road conditions, the direction of the street, and so on from a "God's perspective" that is closest to the real world, which almost contains all the objective information that students need in the project research.

Perhaps students will ask, we have always stressed that we should choose field research for space professional projects as much as possible. Can we complete all the research with only one map?

There is no doubt that field research is the best way, but for unfamiliar places or some project sites with inconvenient transportation, comprehensive and detailed field research will take up a lot of time and energy.

So in order to optimize efficiency and effect, we have three ways to use the help of Gaud Map:

1. Preliminary project site selection

The motherland is vast and abundant, and the infrastructure is under comprehensive construction. We can select specific locations from electronic maps, which can be based on accurate data, and quickly screen and select the most accurate scheme for target location selection;

2. Make overall planning and layout based on field survey

In addition to the above detailed map information, there are also detailed landmark distribution and user's specific evaluation of the location in the Gaode map. This information is a very effective way for students to understand the surrounding of the building and user psychology;

3. Alternatives under unconventional circumstances

Although we usually do not recommend that students all use online research, if students have very limited creative time in the art collection or do not have a need for conceptual topics, in-depth mining of data and information in the Gaud map can meet the basic needs of field research.

Today we take Gaud Map as an example to investigate the site selection of domestic cities. If you choose foreign countries or Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, you can use Google Map!

　　 Station B - Bilibili

Compared with the first two online platforms focusing on function and consultation, B Station is a pure entertainment in the spare time life of students, because there are too many interesting things on it. You can follow the variety show, watch the God clips, technical house evaluation, knock CP, bullet screen interaction, etc. Almost everyone can find the content of interest.

Just because of its comprehensive coverage, Station B has become a cultural community with interactive sharing and secondary creation. For students who are working on a collection of works, Station B is also a veritable treasure house of resources. Finding inspiration, doing research, and learning skills can all be done in Station B.

1. Diversified inspiration collision

No matter what stage inspiration is the absolute driving force for the creation of professional art works, students should also keep in touch with fresh and diverse information sources in the creation process.

At present, Station B is divided into 33 channels, and each channel has also been summarized into rich video content according to different tags. For example, the science and technology section in the figure below contains many open classes and speeches from famous schools, and the life section has various gods to share their experiences and creations.

In addition, there are corresponding popular science videos and sharing videos in different sections, which contain various fresh and creative inspiration materials. The division of blocks is not only convenient for students to find quickly, but also can communicate with peers through messages and bullet screens.

2. Comprehensive online courses

As we all know, Station B is a gathering place for skilled people and craftsmen, and they are not stingy about sharing research results. Therefore, there are also rich tutorials to share on Station B. For example, the following figure shows the contents of the two communities of technology house and painting, including hand painting, software, electronic product transformation, etc. The courses are rich in forms and interesting.

For the creation of professional art works, hands-on ability is also an important inspection item, such as a period of time ago Royal College of Art The newly released collection requirements include the use of video to record their own creation process. For students who do not use video recording habits, they may not know how to start at the moment.

In fact, Station B has a wealth of videos and edited tutorials, and many artists have recorded their own creation videos from scratch, which can be used as reference and learning materials for students.

3. Inspiration in interaction

In addition to being a short video sharing platform, Station B is mainly a cultural exchange community for young people. For example, the most distinctive communication mode of Station B is the bullet screen, which is actually to create a community style discussion atmosphere in the form of real-time comments.

Many students' use of mobile phones/networks may be limited to searching for some basic skills and knowledge points, but in fact, for art students abroad, art professional works collection creation, creativity and inspiration can be collected everywhere. Today, we just shared some creative methods with three online platforms as examples, such as our former students and social topics selected from Zhihu Hot Search and Bagua Weekly. In fact, there are many ways to collect inspiration, and there are also many ways to transform the details that can be seen everywhere in life into works. Today's sharing is just to remind you that artistic creation can not be achieved only in a high-pressure and rigid environment. Instead, we should integrate the concept of learning into our lifestyle, improve our artistic perception, enjoy leisure and entertainment, and also be good at finding materials conducive to creation. Start from life and find the most vital creative inspiration!
