高中的孩子們已經(jīng)邁入了2022-2023學(xué)年的下半部分。我給他們發(fā)了新的素描本，并給他們布置了一個根據(jù)自己的名字中含有的圖形元素設(shè)計素描本封面的任務(wù)。作為熱身練習(xí)，他們還使用了禪繞畫（zentangles）來裝飾他們的封面。這項任務(wù)不僅可以幫我衡量他們的繪畫水平，而且還能通過他們的繪畫風(fēng)格看出每位孩子的性格。

"We have started the second quarter with our 8th grade and high school students. I distributed new sketchbooks to them and tasked them with creating their own designs for the covers, incorporating their names as a graphic element. As a warm-up exercise, they also used zentangles to decorate their covers. This task not only helps me gauge their skill level in sketching techniques, but also provides insight into their personalities.

禪繞畫（Zentangles） 是一種冥想藝術(shù)形式，涉及使用重復(fù)圖案創(chuàng)建復(fù)雜的設(shè)計。這種技術(shù)有助于提高專注力，而且非常解壓。另外，自畫像讓學(xué)生探索自己的身份并通過藝術(shù)表達自我。通過結(jié)合他們的愛好和興趣，他們可以創(chuàng)造出反映他們身份的獨特而個性化的作品。

Zentangles are a form of meditative art that involves creating intricate designs using repetitive patterns. This technique helps to improve focus and concentration, as well as providing a relaxing activity for students. Self-portraits, on the other hand, allow students to explore their identity and express themselves through art. By incorporating their hobbies and interests, they can create a unique and personal piece that reflects who they are.

目前，我們正在進行另一個項目：自畫像。這項任務(wù)能夠評估他們在創(chuàng)作人臉素描時對基本規(guī)則和比例的了解。雖然我不希望他們創(chuàng)作出學(xué)術(shù)風(fēng)格的肖像畫，但我允許他們自由使用他們想要的任何媒介或技術(shù)，包括攝影和拼貼畫。此外，該任務(wù)要求他們通過平面設(shè)計元素講述他們的故事，展示他們的愛好、興趣和活動。

Currently, we are working on another project: self-portraits. This task allows me to assess their knowledge of basic rules and proportions when sketching human faces. While I do not expect them to produce academic-style portraits, I have given them free reign to use any medium or technique they desire, including photography and collage. Additionally, the task requires them to tell their story through graphic design elements, showcasing their hobbies, interests, and activities.

WARM-UP

熱身繪畫練習(xí)很重要，因為它們有助于放松手部肌肉并提高整體的繪畫技巧。通過練習(xí)陰影和線條等基本技巧，學(xué)生可以為更復(fù)雜的項目打下堅實的基礎(chǔ)。此外，這些練習(xí)有助于在開始更大的創(chuàng)作之前減少焦慮和壓力。

Warm-up drawing exercises are important because they help to loosen up the hand and improve overall drawing skills. By practicing basic techniques such as shading and line work, students can develop a solid foundation for more complex projects. Additionally, these exercises can help to reduce anxiety and stress before starting a larger project.

在我們的藝術(shù)作品中展示我們的愛好和興趣很重要，因為它可以讓我們與他人分享自己的一部分。通過將這些元素融入我們的設(shè)計中，我們可以創(chuàng)造出更有意義、更具個性化的藝術(shù)作品。它還有助于與志趣相投的人建立聯(lián)系，加深社會化和歸屬感。

Showing our hobbies and interests in our artwork is important because it allows us to share a part of ourselves with others. By incorporating these elements into our designs, we can create a more meaningful and personal piece of art. It also helps to build connections with others who share similar interests, fostering a sense of community and belonging.
