| The children’s picture books of love theme first appeared in Europe at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.Since then,the original picture books of love theme have been paid more and more attention in the West.The number of original picture books of love theme have gradually increased,and the topic has become more and more open,from love to the relationship between husband and wife,from the discussion of money and love to homosexuality.Up to now,the creation of love theme picture books in children’s illustration in our country is basically blind,which may be due to the traditional concept,which generally adopts the way of avoiding from parents to schools.However,with the deepening of the emotional and psychological research of children in recent years,many educational groups and parents realize that the positive and correct guidance to the children of love is necessary to help them to form a healthy love and marriage view.After systematically sorting and analyzing the emotional theme of children’s picture books,especially the theme of love,this paper is divided into three parts to study the Crystal Castle picture book by combining theory with practice.Firstly,from the research of the theory,the author collects the theoretical data about the study of picture books at home and abroad,and finds the relevant research results to lay a theoretical foundation for the creation of picture books.Furthermore,a large number of domestic and foreign picture books are collected through the physical bookstores,the picture book libraries,the online bookstores and so on,and the main characteristics of such picture books at home and abroad in different periods are summarized.Secondly,the typical characteristics of the three classical picture books are analyzed thoroughly,including the script,the style of picture,the form language of painting,the material manipulation and so on,and the techniques and aesthetic characteristics of three classical picture books are analyzed and generalized.Finally is the practical creation.On the basis of the forefathers’ valuable creative experience,the author writes the script with personal emotion and aesthetic style.Then the author divides continuity gradually,creats task and scene,designs color composition and rhythm change,creates hazy dream picture to set off the sensitive,poetic and slightly sentimental inner world of the young protagonist,and achieves a satisfactory artistic effect.Through theoretical research and practice,the author believes that the creation of children’s picture books on the theme of Love has a strong particularity,the emotional,psychology and images of children are in a hazy period,so it is certainly not appropriate to perform too clearly and bluntly.Therefore,the author chooses the theme of "Crystal Castle" and the hazy picture style,so as to compare the beauty and easy breakage of the first love psychology.The dreamy and unrealistic picture can bring the readers more imaginary space,lead the young readers to explore their personal inner worlds,carry on the dialogue and communication with their own emotions and feelings,hope that the children can get some inspiration during the communication,this is the original intention and expectation of the author’s creation. |
