Recently, in some science and technology competitions for students in Shanghai, there are some commonalities in the competitions with many names, such as works to reflect students' creativity and imagination, and some also require "artistry".
Creativity, imagination, artistry, the combination of the three, in the first two days of a children's book for children, just reflected: "Larousse Cycle Encyclopedia of All Things".
The feeling of reading "LaRousse Encyclopedia of all Things Cycle" makes people very comfortable. Part of this comfort comes from the warmth brought about by reading la rousse's "Larousse Children's Psychological Encyclopedia" before. Books of the same brand will have similar qualities. Reading the "Larousse Children's Psychological Encyclopedia" left a warm feeling, brought to the "Larousse Encyclopedia of All Things Cycle". Watching "Larousse Encyclopedia of all Things", it is the same warm and practical.
"Larousse Encyclopedia of All Things Cycle", the texture of holding in the hand, makes people feel down-to-earth, and it is a kind of comfort that cannot be said. The contents of the book will draw the reader's attention to daily life. Use the inconspicuous objects in your life, use your imagination, enter the world of creativity, and at the same time, re-recognize these objects from the perspective of environmental protection.
Look with your heart and open the wings of imagination
Someone once asked the children's book master Mitsuya Anno for advice, how can you draw such a good picture like him? Mitsuya Anno's answer was sincere and simple. He likens artistic creation to cooking, while giving this advice:
You can see the beauty of the world around you and empathize with sensitivity, and this ability translates into the ability to create art, while others will naturally appreciate the beauty of your work. As long as you can maintain this visual sensitivity, you will find that the practical techniques needed to draw a good painting are very easy to obtain. They are in your heart.
Art comes from life, from the eyes that will discover, from the "heart" that can see. In the era of rapid development, we do everything fast, and it is difficult to slow down and tap the beauty of the things around us. The "Larousse Encyclopedia of All Things Cycle" in front of us can slow down, open the perspective of discovery, see the things around us with the "heart", and open the wings of imagination.
Usually, we would throw them in the trash, but in the Larousse Encyclopedia of All Things, after adding a few strokes, it became the tire of a car:
Became little Red Riding Hood's face:
These small items, even to be thrown into the trash, have another story after inserting the wings of imagination. How important is imagination? Writer Wu Yan once expressed that the understanding of imagination is "a confirmation of the cross-border ability of thinking". Imaginative people, when thinking about problems, can cross boundaries and create new things.
Watch "LaRousse Encyclopedia of All Things", through imagination, bring new perspectives. After preparing discarded bulbs and recreating them, they have a new perspective:
The can became a rocket:
Ordinary objects, through imagination, have a second new creation. The Book of the Future for Parents mentions that cultivating children's imagination requires consideration of three elements: information in memory, information in the environment, and the interaction between the two. The greater the association span between the information in memory and the information in the environment, the better the effect of imagination stimulation.
The content of the "Larousse Encyclopedia of the Cycle of All Things" is displayed in a teaching manner, just the interaction between the information in memory and the information in the environment.
The book not only has a true presentation of the information, but also gives specific steps to exercise the imagination:
- observe
- One eye
- association
- Divergent thinking
- Drawings
Can't remember the 5 steps? To simplify, it can be summarized into three words: see, think, and draw.
Look closely at the object in front of you, look with two eyes, and change to one eye. Looking from a distance, looking up close, in short, looking over and over again. When you look at it, you open up divergent thinking in your head and associate the objects you see in front of you. If you don't have inspiration yet, find someone to discuss. With inspiration, without hesitation, I picked up a pen and began to create to present the picture.
Looking at the examples given in the Larousse Encyclopedia of the Cycle of Everything, it can really open up a person's thinking.
A piece of paper on the ground, do you want to throw it into the trash can? But wait, after adding a few strokes, it becomes a good picture:
Looking at the guidance in the book, my boss made a paper ball creation: a bear and a cat lady dancing in the rain with an umbrella
What can the finished drink bottle cap do except dispose of it with the bottle body?
These are the re-creations of bottle caps by my children:
The Larousse Encyclopedia of All Things is like an inspiration trigger. The book's presentation of the re-creation of everyday objects not only opens up children's imaginations, but also opens the door to their creativity.
Do it and open the door to creation
The future has come, and in the future, children will have to face artificial intelligence that is constantly integrated into life. In the face of artificial intelligence, what kind of preparation should children do? "General Artificial Intelligence Lessons for Children" mentioned: "What we can do now is to explore skills and ways of working that artificial intelligence cannot replace." ”
Artificial intelligence is good at doing auxiliary, mechanical and other work, and the areas that are not good at it are communication, art and innovation. Art and innovation are inseparable from creativity. Writer Hao Jingfang once asked an American creativity research psychologist at an annual meeting of the World Economic Forum about how to cultivate children's creativity. The psychologist's answer is that it is not so much about nurturing children's creativity as it is about protecting, because a lot of creativity is innate.
A few days ago, my old school organized a science and technology festival, and she wanted to fold back the paper airplane. The child folded various planes without success, and later found a video, followed by folding before folding out the swivel paper airplane. When the boss followed the video folding, the second elder on the side, holding the paper alone, constantly folding, flying, folding, flying, and finally using his own method, folded out a simple, good effect of the rotary paper airplane. Isn't that the innate creativity of children? If I am on the side and let the second brother also fold with the video, the child's inner creativity is afraid that it will be erased.
How to protect your child's creativity? Starting with everyday objects is an easy way to get started. Don't be too deliberate, just ask "Look at this, what do you think?" ”
A simple clip, what can you see? Take a look at the presentation in the Larousse Encyclopedia of the Cycle of Everything:
"LaRousse Encyclopedia of All Things Cycle" gives guidance and also gives the opportunity to practice, behind every imagination and re-creation, it is a picture that requires the reader to do it himself.
Plastic bottles

Peeled orange peel
There are also plenty of exercises in the book, waiting for the kids to fill up.
Illustrator Ashley Brian has loved to draw since childhood. His father was a printer, there was a lot of paper in the family, and when he was a child, he began to draw on various materials. Growing up, Ashley Brian used to pick up scrap on the street and apply the waste he collected to his artistic creation. Ashley Bryan's creativity gives his illustrations a unique style.
Did you see a glimmer of light in Ashley Brian? What Ashley Brian grew up doing, children can start with the Larous Cycle Encyclopedia of All Things when they are young. Perhaps, children's re-creation using the objects around them can start a different career journey in their future.

Metal recycling
Recycling of paper
In addition to the above, the book also has topics on the recycling of plastics, glass, wood products, electronic equipment and so on. What's the use of knowing this? It can make children understand an object and a thing from the perspective of environmental protection.
One of the Books in the Babe Bear series is "Protecting the Environment", which is about children doing what they can to protect the environment. The world of the future is the world of children. Protecting the environment, even if the children are not very old, can make some of their own contributions.
Born in the UAE, Kekashan Basu became aware of protecting the environment when he saw birds being harmed by eating plastic. He planted his first tree on his 8th birthday, founded a youth organization for the protection of the environment at the age of 12, and won the International Children's Peace Prize at the age of 16. Because Kekashan Basu saw the photos of the bird injury, he had a sense of environmental protection, and perhaps our children, after reading the "Larus Encyclopedia of all Things", will have the idea and action of saving resources and protecting the environment.
Children read the Larousse Encyclopedia of all things, and in their hearts, they plant the seeds of "love".
