These days, the campus of Kyoto Elementary School in Hangzhou is full of joy and full of artistic atmosphere. On the playground, on the corridor, and even on the ceiling, many students' excellent works of art are displayed. How did such a strong artistic atmosphere come about?
Zhao Zongzao, a famous printmaker, Shao Beiyan, associate professor of the Department of Basic Printmaking of the China Academy of Fine Arts, Li Yongzheng, former deputy secretary general of the Art Education Committee of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education, Lin Qiong, editor-in-chief of "Primary School Students' Heaven and Earth Happy Art", Li Fang, an art teacher and researcher in Hangzhou, Wang Weihua, Lü Chunbin, and other art education experts came to Kyoto Primary School to guide the children of the printmaking club face to face and hand in hand.
In class, children are creating prints for the 90th anniversary, and they are asking the masters with their own works.
"Printmaking is really not easy, to portray the picture and then rub it, your conception of the picture should be very clear." "You'd better make a draft before you portray it, so that you can be confident." "Proper blank space in the picture is still needed, don't let the picture be too full, highlight the point." Zhao Zongzao admired the children's prints very carefully, and at the same time taught the children valuable creative experience and skills.
Shao Beiyan, Li Fang, Wang Weihua, Lu Chunbin and other teachers also walked to the students and patiently guided them one by one.
After the printmaking class, Hangzhou Kyoto Elementary School held a medal awarding ceremony for the art teaching practice base of "Elementary School Students' Heaven and Earth • Happy Art".
