Inspiration of works collection: how to turn ideas into works collection? The collection of overseas works is very purposeful, but it is also a flat, visual form that cannot be spoken or expressed. Students must show all ideas, abilities and results in the form of vision or drawings, so that colleges can see them.

"Teacher, I have a great idea,

But I don't know how to do it? "

"Why is this cut different from when I made the version?"

"I have a short time to prepare, so I have to start drawing renderings."

......

These situations are very common in the creation process of our collection of works. Many students will think that the most important thing in the early stage is to find a creative theme. It is OK to have a concept in mind for the subsequent creation. We should seize the time to advance, and then gradually deepen it.

But as the saying goes "One depends on two grades and three failures, one thinks two does and three succeeds" In the early stage, there was not enough assurance and planning, and only stayed in "thinking" and "waiting", which will inevitably lead to "failure" in the specific implementation process.

We all know that the collection of overseas students' works is very purposeful, but it is also a flat, visual form that cannot be spoken and cannot be expressed. Students must show all their ideas, abilities and results in the form of vision or drawings, so that colleges can see them.

In order to avoid the above situation, today we will talk about how to prepare in the early stage so that we can "Stable, accurate and ruthless" Presented in the works!

Find the direction through "audition"

First of all, we need to be clear Think, do and do well In fact, there are three levels of things. We can't all solve them in one step.

Our first step is to determine the idea. This step is not the same as research. It refers to how to verify the feasibility of inspiration after we find it. In the early course of natural light, we will encourage students to do a lot of thinking training, brainstorming and data collection, Its purpose is to expand the channels for people to get inspiration.

But in the face of abundant ideas and limited time, we don't need to verify every inspiration one by one through complete research, experiments and sketches at this stage, Our goal is to find a practical theme efficiently.

This step It relies heavily on the accumulation of professional knowledge, For students of this major, they have accumulated enough experience to imagine some steps needed in the implementation process, and can make a preliminary judgment.

For students who have no basic knowledge or have changed their major, it is necessary to supplement their professional knowledge, which is the basis of the whole design process; Secondly, we can also With the help of professional teachers , ask their opinions and go to "mine clearance" for us.

Determine the theme through "research"

After the first round of "audition", that is, a rough review, one is to help us find the most inspiring points of interest from the overall control, and the other is to help us save time and energy to prepare for the next step - specific research.

We have found the general direction, that is, we have determined the theme, but it is inevitable that there will be some places that are not rigorous enough, so we need to sort out the overall thinking rationally, Adequate research is not only related to the accuracy of each step of the next design process, but also directly affects whether we can put our ideas into practice with quality and quantity guaranteed.

The investigation can be carried out in two directions, The first is to deepen and spread the depth of ideas as much as possible through multi-dimensional data collection; The other is hands-on experiments, trying to design various possibilities of the process.

We often say that learning is a process of trial and error, but for the creation of art works, because our purpose is very strong and each step is usually critical to subsequent planning, we still need to Try to put the opportunity of "making mistakes" in front as far as possible to minimize the subsequent impact.

Especially for landscape architecture and interior design, which have a long service life and are closely related to people's living safety, authenticity and accuracy are our most important foundation; Another example is clothing design. The process of cutting and sewing is one-time, and the final results of ready-made clothes are easy to be inconsistent with the sketches and patterns, However, these can be avoided in the early research and sketch.

Collection of Film Art Design

In addition, Many students will choose conceptual topics or small research projects, which also need to consider the later landing and presentation results. For example, in the collection of works of this film art major student shown above, his scene setting is a virtual "water bank", but he also combines the real scenes of the desert and gobi, making every detail as accurate as possible, so that the final effect will be so appealing.

Planning through "trial and error"

The theme is to make a detailed plan. In this stage of learning, The teacher will also give us some space for "trial and error", However, this is not to say that students can try arbitrarily, but to explore and try independently within a controllable range, such as the comparison of different materials, the exploration of different expressions, and the combination of different directions.

We And then make the best choice based on all the research results, The real implementation will start only after selection. You may be worried about whether this detailed research will consume too much time for us to refine the design process in the future.

From idea to implementation, adequate research and planning is an essential transformation process. Of course, it is also very important for us to make full use of this planning scheme in the follow-up process. This requires us to strictly control the integrity, Constantly adjust and refine the details according to the actual situation to ensure that the final design result is the most perfect presentation!

　　 Today's summary

An interesting direction and theme is a good start in our collection creation, which can help us quickly catch the attention of the admissions officer, but how can we use this good start to turn it into a practical design scheme, To ensure the final presentation of high-quality design works is the focus of our strict planning and thinking.

As we highlighted above, the three steps, In fact, the creation of overseas art works is a test of logic and order, Research, mindmap, sketch, model They are powerful means of expression to help us present the final results perfectly.

　　 The natural light will also be critical in different stages and links, To help students sort out their ideas, because review, research, and planning all need us to run through the entire creation process, the curriculum form of Critical can help us learn to stop at all times, jump out of the framework, listen to suggestions and ideas from teachers or classmates, and obtain more improving opinions, which also fundamentally helps us to avoid detours.

Guangguangjun has always hoped that as the partner of students on their way to school, every step of accompanying each student to the dream school can ensure firmness and strength!
