Let's enjoy the eight artistic styles in the picture book. 1, abstract abstract art is non-figurative, and abstract art focuses on the internal form and external quality of objects. Abstract artists do not stick to direct artistic expression, and often exaggerate or simplify the form of things. Emphasize the expression of emotions and feelings, such as Tara graham king's Enemy School. 2. Cartoon-style cartoon-style painting figures are unremarkable to MengMeng, and illustrators don't want their paintings to be realistic. Many cartoonists have their own styles, and they are easily recognized. For example, Tomiede paola likes to use black spots to represent people's eyes. Most of these people's bodies are short and thick. Kevin henkes likes to add small illustrations to his cartoons and so on. Similar cartoon picture books include The Witch's Grandma by tomiede paola, Pussy Cat Buzz Stories by Kitamura and so on. 3. Expressionism Expressionism painting was developed by artists in the 20th century. The characteristic of this kind of painting is that it can well express the theme and emotion of the picture book story. Expressionism focuses on expressing emotions, but the lines and facial expressions of paintings are often exaggerated and distorted, which is the effect produced by painters in order to contrast emotions. For example, Chris Van Orsberg's Game of the Brave 2 and Paul Ozalinsky's The Bellflower Girl. 4. Impressionism Impressionist painting style was developed by French painters in the19th century, paying special attention to the use of light. Impressionist artists use pigments to create the effect of broken or reflected light, trying to express their feelings and impressions of life, rather than describing the reality in detail. Bright colors and soft strokes are usually the striking features of impressionist painting. In The Mother Wolf, illustrator Yang Zhicheng creates a sense of balance through the interaction of light and shadow. He painted a wolf in the dark shadow, but the wolf's eyes were shining, suggesting the fear of darkness. 5. Folklore Style Folklore style shows the beliefs handed down from generation to generation by human beings and reflects the beliefs, values and cultural customs of a nation. Can give readers a strong sense of region. Artists need to spend a lot of time and energy to study the national costumes, national psychology and national spirit of a place in order to create illustrations with regional flavor and manual effect. Such as: paul goble's Song of the Wild Horse. 6. simple. Simplicity is full of childlike interest. It is a plane layout and a two-dimensional picture, which is easy to identify and interpret. This painting has details, but it won't be described in detail. Illustrators who use this drawing method usually have no professional painting training. For example, Willa B Williams' mother's red sofa. 7. Romanticism Romanticism is not a common style in picture books, but it is sometimes used by illustrators. This style often uses bold colors and dreamy composition to set off the gorgeous atmosphere. In Cinderella, illustrator K.Y. Kraft uses rich colors to create the effect of luxury and wealth, which reflects Cinderella's gorgeous turn from poverty and suffering to luxury charm. Romantic painting style is most suitable for fairy tales and folklore. And "Sleeping Beauty" by K.Y. Kraft. 8. Surrealism Surrealism painting is imaginative, emphasizing the unity of fantasy and reality, characterized by rich and delicate details, imaginative ideas and bizarre images. Characters or objects in surrealist paintings are often distorted, just like dreams. For example, Anthony browne and david wiesner were born in children's book publishing industry with surreal painting style, such as Three Little Pigs by david wiesner.
