Since the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the mascot "Ice Pier" creative doll can be described as "a pier is difficult to find". In order to help everyone realize the wish of "one household and one pier", Teacher Zhang Shujia, the inheritor of the non-heritage sculpture from Changning, personally made a face sculpture version of "ice pier" with one dough after another. Let's learn from Teacher Zhang!
Face plastic refers to the handmade technique of making a mature dough with flour, glutinous rice flour, glycerin or cheng noodles as raw materials, etc., and kneading into various flowers, birds, fish, insects, scenery, utensils, characters, animals and other specific images by hand and various special shaping tools, commonly known as noodle flowers, buns, flower cakes, and kneaders.
Zhang Shujia is the inheritor of the non-heritage sculpture from Changning. At the age of ten, she studied under Zhao Fenglin, the daughter of the face plastic master "Mian Ren Zhao", and became the third generation of inheritors of the intangible cultural heritage "Mian Ren Zhao". Since graduating from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Zhang Shujia established the Shujia Handicraft Center in 2007, taking the protection of heritage as the cornerstone, and promoting synergistically in research and elaboration, education popularization, innovative development, communication and exchange, etc., and gradually exploring and opening up a road of innovation in non-genetic communication inheritance. She also opened the "Creative Face Sculpture" interest class and participated in a series of projects such as "Intangible Cultural Heritage Community", "Intangible Cultural Heritage Campus" and "Intangible Cultural Heritage Business Circle". This time, the use of face sculpture to make "ice piers" is another exploration of hers.
Zhang Shujia told reporters that many people do not understand the intangible cultural heritage such as plastic sculptures, and feel that intangible cultural heritage is ancient and old. But in fact, intangible cultural heritage not only contains wisdom that has been precipitated by history, but also can be combined with fashion and fashion to glow with new vitality. "The ice pier is one of the mascots of this Beijing Winter Olympics, using the image of our national treasure giant panda, the shape is cute, and everyone especially likes it." So I also hope to use the face sculpture to present this cute shape again, so that the Winter Olympics and the Intangible Cultural Heritage can have an interesting combination, which feels very meaningful! ”
The materials and tools used to make the plastic version of the "ice pier" are not complicated, only a pair of skillful hands and a few pieces of dough of different colors can be used. But when making, be sure to do every step well and pay attention to small details! Let's follow Teacher Zhang's illustrated explanation and learn it——
