Art creation on children's themes - a colorful picture showing the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor (all-round well-off picture)

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of my country, great achievements have been made in the development of children and the cause of children in China.

The majority of children and young people study hard, establish ideals, sharpen their characters, increase their skills, and grow into a new generation of more confident, self-reliant and self-improving people.

The thriving growth of children and the happy picture of nurturing and learning from young children inspire the creative enthusiasm of contemporary art workers.

Pieces of art works full of caring feelings embody people's beautiful expectations for the flowers of the motherland, and reflect the full sense of achievement, happiness and security of children.

From every word and deed to every move, under the pen of art workers, a colorful picture of the all-round development of contemporary children's morality, intelligence, physique, aesthetics and labor is spread out.

Demonstrate the ambition of a child's innocence

　　Young people are ambitious, and the country is promising.

In the new era, the spiritual outlook of children with aspirations and dreams infects art workers. They use colorful brushes to paint and write a new chapter of childhood innocence and dream, which has become the highlight of children's art creation.

　　Innocent to the party.

Children in the new era, in the inheritance of red genes, cultivate the feelings of the country and the country, strengthen the ambition to strengthen the country, and lay a solid ideological foundation for striving to be socialist builders and successors.

Ma Wenjia's sculpture "The Spirit of the Long March" takes one old and one young as the object of expression, creating a scene in which an old Red Army handed down straw sandals to future generations, implying that the spiritual blood of the communists will continue and that they are on the road of the new Long March. Strong spiritual power.

The old Red Army sits in a wheelchair, with a simple image and firm eyes; the little girl wears a red scarf, stands tall and straight, looks at the old man affectionately, and takes the straw sandals with both hands, full of vigor.

The two figures, one old and one small, echo each other, vividly interpreting the profound connotation of inheriting the red gene.

With the same idea, Zhao Guoqiang's oil painting "Inheritance" shows the consciousness of children to carry forward the red spirit from a daily perspective.

On the screen, two students are carefully hanging painting pages.

These pages record important time nodes and major historical events in the century-old party history.

The boy wearing a red scarf holds a picture page, and his demeanor contains a sense of ritual.

Although these two works have different artistic forms, they both embody the advanced nature of the contemporary Young Pioneers of "pioneering from elementary school and pioneering when they grow up".

　　Children in the new era have broad vision and rich knowledge, and their dreams are even more ambitious.

Ma Ruibo's Chinese painting "Hello!

Beidou", inspired by "Enlightenment", depicts the scene of five children lining up to observe the Beidou satellite with an astronomical telescope.

The dome-shaped arc composition represents the vast sky, with satellites looming in it, and the seeds that symbolize scientific dreams are sprouting in the hearts of more and more children.

Chen Feifei's Chinese painting "Growing Diary: Space Dream" breaks the conventional way of expression and depicts a children's desk suspended in space in a surreal way.

The desk is surrounded by images of planes, satellites and the Milky Way, which reflects the small owner of the desk with a dream of spaceflight, and achieves the artistic effect of "silence is better than sound at this time".

　　Whether it is portrait or scene depiction, these works of art pay close attention to the new changes and new styles in the growth of children, and through artistic refinement, give them a unique spiritual color, which not only expands the new space for children's art creation, Infused with new meaning.

　Engrave the way of character

　　Children and teenagers who are determined to become talents must not only cultivate their morals, have lofty aspirations, but also strengthen their physique and temper their will.

In the works of art workers, contemporary children's pursuit of upward and kindness has been shown in multiple ways.

　　Sports in particular can enhance children's physique and cultivate their fighting spirit.

With the comprehensive advancement of the construction of a strong sports country and a healthy China, more and more children are falling in love with sports, and this change has also enriched the content of children's art creation.

In Sui Rongyu's Chinese painting "A Hundred Ponds Contesting Flows", black, white and gray form a rather modern picture, and children's enthusiasm for participating in ice and snow sports is overwhelming; in Liu Haitao's Chinese painting "Field of Hope", the author The happy scene of a group of children running in the field is reproduced in poetic language, and the vigor is rippling; in Guo Chunping's Chinese painting "Youth and Speed", the painter captures the moment of children's roller skating competition, conveying the spirit of being brave to be the first... …These works go beyond mere representation of movement, and show rich spiritual connotations with the help of characterization.

　　At present, all walks of life are paying more and more attention to strengthening the social practice of children, encouraging children to participate in social welfare activities within their ability, and improving the ability of children to participate in society.

He Yun's Chinese painting "Love in the World in March", with an oval composition, freezes the heartwarming moment at the distribution point of love porridge.

In the picture, the adults are standing in the back, and two young volunteers are rushing in front. They cooperate with each other and distribute the love porridge to the citizens. While warming others, the children also gain spiritual growth.

Participating in winter camps and summer camps can allow children to learn from each other and increase their knowledge. Activities such as military development training can especially bring children a different experience.

Gao Jinli's Chinese painting "Zhuoyu", with military training as its content, depicts a group of primary school students in camouflage uniforms listening carefully to a young instructor's explanation.

The children were focused and clearly integrated into the training.

The title of the work further points out the creative purpose of strengthening the character of children and helping them grow.

　　There are also some works of art depicting the details of daily life, showing the concept of educating people in the new era.

For example, Wang Peiru's Chinese painting "Family Tradition" uses fine brushwork techniques to carefully outline a warm picture of a child wearing glasses to his mother.

A little girl is standing next to her, helping her mother with an umbrella. The faces of mother and children are filled with happy smiles, and the relationship between the characters is echoed.

Advocating the style of cultivating new talents

　　Artists keenly capture the new practice and new atmosphere in children's education, and show the development of the times and social progress through art works.

　　From learning to learning, and from learning to teaching to learning, it is becoming a reality that every child can enjoy a fair and high-quality education.

These advancements are presented in three dimensions under the pen of artists.

For example, Liu Lulu's Chinese painting "Noon Sunshine in the Kindergarten in Kuanhouli", with a nine-square composition, reproduces the warm picture of children taking a lunch break in a kindergarten, implying that the inclusive nursery service system continues to improve, and infants and young children receive better care, pamper.

Wang Shuxia's Chinese painting "Beautiful Campus · New Society", with the theme of "new", shows the school's educational philosophy of advancing with the times through the scene of students participating in science and technology clubs.

Zhang Chunyan's Chinese painting "A Memorial for Teaching Support" and Wang Zikun's Chinese painting "Educate New Talents" focus on the development of rural education.

The former borrows the "family portrait" composition commonly seen in photography to engrave the good times when young teachers and rural children are close as a family.

The latter shows the high-quality development of rural education with a triptych: in the middle picture, a group of children surrounds the teacher and listens carefully to the teacher's answers; on the left and right sides of the picture, children are holding books and lining up. The teacher approaches.

Drawing on the form of New Year pictures, the work reinforces the theme of nurturing new people with cheerful and bright tones.

　　Caring for the healthy growth of children, caring for groups of children in difficulties... The whole society forms a joint force to jointly protect the bright future of children in the new era.

In the form of triptych, Chen Haiqiang's oil painting "Mother and Child Studio" shows the warm scenes in the parent-child studio of employees from multiple perspectives.

On the nursing table on the left, the mother is changing diapers for the child; at the door of the loving mommy's house on the right, the mother and child who have just finished breastfeeding are happily dependent on each other; in the activity room in the middle, the mothers are playing and reading with their children.

The work vividly shows that the employee parent-child studio holds up a sky of love for employees and children.

Li Shan's lacquer painting "Children of the Stars" and Zhu Beilei's Chinese painting "Caring" focus on the increasingly perfect education of disabled children in recent years.

"Children of the Stars" depicts the happy appearance of a little girl walking out of "loneliness" in a romantic way; "Caring" depicts the details of a young female teacher bending over and patiently tutoring mentally handicapped children in elegant and warm colors.

The two works are both small and big, implying that the educational concept of "letting every child have confidence in himself and hope for the future" is becoming the consensus of the whole society.

　　Nowadays, children receive education in more and more diverse ways, not only diligently studying book knowledge, but also learning more extracurricular knowledge, constantly enriching their spiritual world and cultivating their creative ability.

This also provides a wealth of creative materials for artists.

Liu Shanhua's Chinese painting "Voice" focuses on the performance of children's vocal music. The drums and flutes are melodious, and the children's focused and serious expressions are moving.

In Li Dongmei's pastel painting "Dream Chasing: Helping Rural Aesthetic Education Action", children create freely on the wall, and bright light sprinkles into the house, illuminating the children's dreams and heralding the bright future of rural aesthetic education.

　　Artists are eclectic, rooting children's art creations in the soil of history, culture, life and education, and reflecting the changes of the big times through the deepening of small themes.

Through these works, the audience can not only appreciate the picturesque poetry of childhood, but also deeply feel that a new generation is thriving.
