招贴中的音乐、杂技和武术
两年前,我首次来到北京,在中央美院举办训练营。期间恰好有个机会,去看了场京剧,当时让我很振奋。京剧艺术融合了多样的语汇:从舞蹈、杂技到武术,从音乐到唱腔,从色彩到节奏。在平面设计中,我看到了许多类似的情况:设计师也有一个舞台,就是一张白纸,我们在上面运用各种表现手法来设计招贴,如用字体、版式、和书法,用具象或抽象的图形,用色彩和形式,用节奏和比例。
在中国传媒大学的这次训练营中,我遇见了一批有着优秀创意潜能的学生,他们都怀着极大的热情来做设计,并且结合了中国的文化,同时,在实验探索中也充满了乐趣。我们在此已清楚地看到了吴学夫教授和吴颖女士所做的这些出色的基础工作,为了继续提升教育方法,他们利用“国际大学生创意培养实验区”寻找到了一个培养的模式。
我们的目标是要求深入研究京剧,在招贴中生动展现这个古老的中国戏剧多姿多彩的面貌,同时,也要与现代世界进行对比联系。针对作业要求,同学们找到了各自的切入点,如生、旦、净、丑四个行当;也有从京剧演员化装的步骤为出发点;或者把演员舞台与生活的不同形象作比较。接着是选择各种不同的表现形式来演绎主题:从中国书法的丰富文字表现到漫画、从构成主义到新野兽派的绘画表现形式、从传统的太极到涂鸦。我愿意把这两周紧张的训练所取得的结果展现给大家看,这些成绩,是可以和国内及国际设计院校相提并论的。中国传媒大学正走在一条顺畅的路上。
我在此衷心地感谢丁校长、黄院长,特别要感谢吴学夫教授,邀请我来中国传媒大学。同时感谢黄英姿女士,她从这次活动的最初开始策划。还要感谢吴颖女士和黄英姿女士在整个训练营中全程陪伴,我们合作得极其愉快。最后,当然要感谢全体同学们,感谢你们的支持和丰富的创意。

By the first time I came to Beijing was two years ago for the Workshop in CAFA, I was excited have an opportunity to watch Beijing Opera. Beijing Opera is merged many elementary substance, which including dance, acrobatics and Wushu, music and singing, color and rhythm. In graphic design field, I can see similar situation: designers also has a stage, which cloud using various visual express techniques into poster design, such as depot font, typography and handwrite, specific or abstract graphics, color and form, also rhythm and scale.
In the Workshop in CUC, I met a group of students that own excellent creative potential. They did great works linked Chinese culture, also with enthusiasm and concentration. Meanwhile, the process of exploring was full of fun. We can see it clearly that Professor Wu and Miss Wu Ying have done the groundwork splendidly. In order to make further promotion of educate methods, they found a training mode through the International Students Creative Lab.
Our purpose is focus on Beijing Opera research, to represent the colorful features vividly of this ancient Chinese theatre, which is connected to the modern world and has contrast to it at the same time. To fit the assessment requirement, students had found point of penetration by each one, such as the four roles Sheng, Dan, Jing, Chou; process of Beijing Opera’ make-up; comparison actor performance between on the stage and in the real life. Next step, students chose various expressive forms to represent the themes from the multifarious Chinese calligraphy to cartoon, from Constructivism form to Neo-fauvism painting, from traditional Tai Ji symbol to graffiti. I would like to share the final works of two weeks intensive training to everyone, the achievements can be classified with professional design colleges in China even abroad. Now CUC is going on an unhindered road.
In this time, please allow me have great honor to thank CUC President Ding Junjie, Advertising School President Huang Shengmin, especially thanks to Professor Wu Xuefu, who invited me to CUC. And Miss Huang Yingzi, she planed since beginning of this event. And the accompany of Miss Wu Ying and Miss Huang Yingzi through whole process of the Workshop, we had a very pleasant cooperation. At last, thanks to all students with your support and abundant originalities.
