2021 has passed quickly, except for the New Year's blessing push, which has been stopped for more than a month.
There are still people who cancel their attention, and there are new friends who come to pay attention to us, thank you anyway!
David Hockney told a story about a farm visit to the effect that a large group of people went to a country farm, and some people would see chickens, some people would see cows, some people would see the farmer's wife, and some people wouldn't see anything and just be bored. Our public name, presumably the people who come to visit are also seeing what they see, and I hope that everyone will come with pleasure and return with pleasure.
My teammates often say that it's very strange for me to write a tweet with a proposed title, "How can such a strange person click in and look at it, they don't know what to write!" "To be honest, every time I see XX design, XXX design XXX, I myself have no interest in wanting to find out, a little curiosity can not stimulate the article, too uninteresting! So this year I intend to continue to be willful.
In the past few days, a student of the hand-drawn line class has come to praise me again, and with his consent, I put it in the public account to share with you, just quote the original text of the ta:
"Teacher, I want to share with you, this is what I recently sorted out according to what I usually wrote down, and then I now find that I basically have no emotional internal friction, and I feel very relaxed and down-to-earth every day." Love you"
He said, "I really felt so much luck from the hand-painting class!" I feel amazing myself! Before the hand-drawing class, I will also feel my own emotions, but I can't find a solution, more like paste, the more confused, the more unclear, the feeling now is to think clearly after a problem, other problems also have key information and then I don't have to work hard to sort it out, it may be that I am detached from myself to see my own problem ~ really very happy"
Some students may have a small muttering sound from the bottom of their hearts: Ah, what does this have to do with design? Design is about people, and design education is also about people, victor Babanak once complained with regret in his famous book Design for the Real World: "Education itself pays little attention to the individual brain; it also cares about the richness of the human mind only because sometimes man is tired." ”
In fact, education pays little attention to the individual brain, in the whole teaching process, there is teaching content, there is teaching methods, that is, there is no one. But I also have to admit that it's too hard to pay attention to people, so I thought of hand-drawing lessons and taking students into their own. Because painting is not about the technique of painting, but about seeing, the act of seeing has a subject, it is this subject who is looking, what is he looking at? In what way are you looking? How will he guide the audience? Thus establishing an awareness and consciousness of this subject, and then from the heart into the brain, found that many ideas are just a hypothesis, so that the invisible restrictions and internal friction are less, people will naturally focus on what they want to do, as for whether they will continue to paint and design in the future, I actually don't care too much, they already have the space and capacity to explore their own way.
Tell a story from a psychology book, observed that insecure children have a hard time concentrating on the play they are playing, and generally start to look back uneasily to determine if their mother is still present after a while of play, and if they can't find it, they will put down the game and collapse and cry. Of course, teenagers and adults will not go to their mothers again, but there are many alternatives for mothers, mobile phones, games, short videos, making money to get ahead, and worrying about mothers in various ways... It's hard to focus and it's still hard to focus.
The wish I make to myself and to you in the New Year is: May your road be long, full of miracles, full of discoveries. Always cheerful! The first three sentences are from Constantine Cavafis's Ithaca, the latter is Henry Miller's motto, plus a picture of the little boy seriously saying what he finds wonderful: the moon, the sun, the flowers, and the time to play! Put together is to hope for themselves, but also hope to see everyone who wishes, this journey of life can have fun! Some children said half-jokingly, teacher, why don't you encourage everyone to study well, what playtime!
In fact, we have too many misunderstandings about play - too many people think of play, that is, games, movies, parties, shopping trips... I would say that such an idea is really too narrow! The reason why we feel that these things are play is only because most people enter a more relaxed and focused and pleasant state before they start doing these things. Or we can look at play in such a relaxed way - in this large playground on earth, as long as a person is relaxing, concentrating and doing what he likes happily, he is playing! Some people like to run, some people like to build a house, some people like omelette, some people love to do school bully, no matter what they like to play, as long as they can relax and focus on playing happily, the process of play is naturally full of miracles, full of discoveries, and always can be happy! Naturally, I hope to be able to play a little longer, a little longer, as long as the universe!
Forget about the thoughts you insist on, let go of the fears and troubles that come with these thoughts, and focus on relaxing and having fun!
