13.Primary school students in China started using new editions of their textbooks last September,with new illustrations(插图)to go with classic Chinese poems.
With the 110classic poems for primary school students from Grade One to Six come one hundred illustrations painted by artist Huang Guoxiang of Wenzhou,Zhejiang province.The old version of Chinese was in use for more than 10years."Our aesthetic(美学的)tastes have changed.The illustrations in textbooks should keep up with that,"said Huang.
"An editor from People's Education Press called me last September and asked whether I was interested-to create illustrations for three poems:Ode to Goose,Min Nong and Spring Dawn.I made it.After about 20days,the publisher called me again and asked me to do all of them,"Huang said.
Huang also said he referred to the Chinese textbooks his son used previously before working on a new painting.
But he did not just create any ink paintings; Huang changed his style of painting a little bit for his young readers.Primary school students may not necessarily be attracted to traditional Chinese ink painting,as the stokes(笔画)tend to be thick and the colors dark.So he mixed ink painting with watercolor to make the pictures visually appealing to the young readers while fully expressing the meanings of classic poems.
"It's not that difficult to illustrate a single poem.The hard part is:sometimes there are three poems on one page and the contents of these poems may change greatly,so it was difficult for me to express the feelings of all of them with one illustration.Sometimes I had to think with a bigger picture and create something that fits it all,"added Huang.
