With the support of Jiangsu Road Street, Story Store recently joined hands with Changning Art School to launch a new theme of "Painting Young Spring". The space is full of spring atmosphere inside and outside, with a series of original cultural creations such as decorative paintings, refrigerator magnets, mobile phone holders, and silk scarves. Derivatives attract the attention of many citizens.
When I arrived at the story store, a unique art installation was added under the plane tree in front of the door. The small flowers "overflowed" from the paint tube sculptures, forming a colorful spring color and exuding a "dopamine" atmosphere. Entering the store, an "art world" full of color, creativity and innocence comes into view.
On the wall, a series of decorative paintings are eye-catching. Among the patterns of the paintings, there are not only students’ practice works in daily courses, but also award-winning works of children participating in well-known domestic and foreign competitions. Among them, "One Whale Falls, All Creatures", "Meet" and "Drifting Bottle" all stood out in the UNESCO's "we are the world" children's art exhibition. Derived from the works into cultural creations, the children's imaginative artistic expressions and the meaning of the works have been affirmed and praised by the visiting citizens.
The reporter learned that Changning Art School was founded in 1984 and has 6 campuses. It is currently the largest professional aesthetic education institution in Shanghai covering all ages, with more than 15,000 students in the school. Over the years, Changning Art School has taken root in Changning and used its advantages in aesthetic education to actively guide teachers and students to participate in community micro-renewal projects such as resident autonomy and cultural space construction. At the same time, we use our footsteps to measure Yuyuan Road and Wuyi Road, and through activities such as artistic sketching, we can subtly promote more people to form an awareness of aesthetic education.
“This time, we also brought the master series of refrigerator magnets, the childlike series of silk scarves and the cute series of mobile phone holders. These derivatives that have both good looks and practicality are inspired by the students’ paintings. Works." Zhu Tengqing, chairman of Changning Fine Arts School, said that Changning Fine Arts School insists on the universality of art education. This cooperation with Story Store is a new exploration and attempt by the school, aiming to rely on artistic works and derivatives. It conveys the concept of "every child is an artist" and helps the century-old Yuyuan District to enhance the urban aesthetic education atmosphere and artistic and cultural temperament.
It is reported that the cultural and creative derivatives unveiled in the Story Store are the first time that Changning Fine Arts School has systematically re-created students' works. From design, proofing to production, it only took one and a half months. Behind such efficient secondary creation, It is the support and cooperation of the majority of students. Considering the debut of the derivatives, Changning Fine Arts School held a large-scale product selection meeting internally. The final derivatives reflected the artistic connotation in multiple dimensions and were very consistent with the tone of the Yuyuan Road neighborhood.
It is worth mentioning that Changning Fine Arts School has specially prepared Yuyuan Road exclusive refrigerator magnets for this visit, which can be obtained by visiting citizens through interaction. The refrigerator magnet is in the form of a road sign, with a blue and white color scheme that is very simple and refreshing. "Everyone's enthusiasm for participation is very high, which also gives us a lot of confidence." Zhu Tengqing said that next, Changning Fine Arts School will also collaborate with students to launch Yuyuan Road element cultural creation, and will combine comprehensive research to expand categories , launching more original derivative series.
