China News Service, Changchun, October 27 (Tan Weiqi and Sun Boyan) Landscape, plants, animals... Entering Song Haifeng's studio, there are all kinds of fiber artworks, which are distinct, vivid, and unique.
Song Haifeng, 42 years old this year, has been studying fiber art for 17 years. As a teacher of Jilin Art College, he has always made teaching traditional fiber art his mission.
"Combine the fiber materials that can be seen everywhere in life with contemporary design to make artistic creation more life-like."

Song Haifeng's fiber works are mostly murals.
According to his introduction, the completion of a fiber artwork often requires multiple steps such as composition, hanging warp threads, cutting velvet, and tiling, which test the creator's mastery of painting and weaving techniques.
Since 2003, Song Haifeng has been exploring the production of fiber art with students. He has created nearly a thousand murals and has won many national and provincial awards. Some of his works have been collected by art museums.

Song Haifeng introduced to reporters his most proud work-"Leshui Tu", the mural with the theme of swimming in a school of fish, 2 meters wide and 3 meters long, took a year and a half to complete.
"Color selection is a difficult problem." Song Haifeng said frankly that choosing colors for fish scales has always been a hassle. It not only needs to highlight new ideas, but also set off with the background colors. It often requires dozens of colors to be finalized. It is necessary to highlight the shape of the fish school, taking into account the different characteristics of each fish to design.

In the future, Song Haifeng will continue to delve deeply into fiber art and pass it on well to "add" the beauty of art to life.
