How do pictures "speak"? Through it, we can see more clearly how pictures "speak" in their own way in books, so as to listen to the meaningful voice of each picture book more closely. The whole course of children's book illustration in Cambridge Art Institute is a rare monograph focusing on the artistic creation practice of children's illustration. Based on the brief history of children's book illustrations in Europe and America, this book focuses on the basic creative techniques and related artistic knowledge of children's book illustrations, and vividly expounds them with examples. The main object of this book is children's picture books. However, compared with the general picture book research works, this work is special in that its author Martin Salis Berry is also an illustrator of children's books. At the same time, he is also the first master of children's book illustration in Britain-the tutor of the master of children's book illustration course in Cambridge Art College. This book is based on Salisbury's own teaching experience. This makes the Complete Course of Illustration for Children's Books of Cambridge Art College different from some previous children's picture books in observing the position, intention, perspective and content of children's books. Illustrated children's books have a long tradition of more than 400 years in Europe, but its real prosperity was after the middle of19th century, especially after picture books in the modern sense began to appear. Throughout the 20th century, children's picture books experienced a development period that can be described as "art explosion". The rich and unique potential of children's book illustrations in media, techniques, styles and expressive force makes it quickly become a unique art field, and attracts more and more artists to participate in it. However, although pictures have long been recognized as an important "language" for children's book creation, most people still know little about the internal texture of picture book illustration art. Since the late 20th century, we have seen a number of works with children's picture books as the research object, but these works are basically from the standpoint of literature research or children's teaching, analyzing the relevant artistic knowledge of picture books in theory or giving practical teaching examples, and rarely reflect the perspective of illustration language. There are objective reasons. As Salisbury said, "Most illustrators avoid writing books and talking about their own works, but they are always willing to let the paintings speak for themselves. Therefore, most works on this subject are written by authors who have been trained in writing rather than painting. " Obviously, different research backgrounds and positions have different concerns. For example, for picture books, many literary researchers often pay attention to how to interpret the specific verbal meaning from the pictures, rather than examining the language patterns of the pictures themselves. However, Salis Berry pointed out that illustrators do not use words as creative media, but "watch" and "think" directly through pictures. Therefore, for picture books, understanding how the language of the picture itself works may be more fundamental to some extent than understanding the corresponding text content of the picture. Of course, the target readers of The Complete Course of Children's Book Illustration of Cambridge Art College are mainly painters who have entered or may enter the field of children's book illustration creation, and its main purpose is to enlighten the creative learners on the techniques of children's book illustration. Salisbury, the author, emphasizes that children's book illustrations are first of all paintings, but they are not just ordinary painting art. From the creation of pictures to the creation of children's book illustrations, it is not as simple as crossing from one end of the bridge to the other. It requires painters to have a full understanding of the characteristics of children and the essence of children's books, and to integrate this understanding into the exploration of painting techniques, so as to produce unique illustration creativity of children's books and complete its unique significance presentation. Therefore, in the second and third chapters of this book, the author spared no effort to introduce, explain and analyze the composition, media and techniques of children's illustrations in detail. In the following chapters, this explanation also covers different illustration skills of readers of different ages and different types of children's books, as well as illustration details from cover, layout to font design. It is worth mentioning that all these experiences, which can only be gained from creative practice, are not only the summary of the author's own creative and teaching experience, but also the precious materials he collected through conversations with many illustrators of children's books. This makes this book not only a personal experience, but also a research work with a certain breadth of creative practice. How to promote the creation practice of illustrations in contemporary children's books is the most concerned topic in Salis Berry's books, but he knows that artistic creation is far from rigid imitation and following the trend, so he never hopes to solve the problem of illustrations in children's books once and for all through such a book. In the preface, the author clearly pointed out that this book "is not an illustration guide, because I don't believe that there is a painting method that is particularly suitable or suitable for illustrations of children's books." On the contrary, the purpose of this book is to let readers know more about how to make their own creations perfect and reach the level of publishing. " It is precisely because of such a "perfect" understanding of the artistic characteristics of children's books that the author does not show all technical analysis in this book, but regards painting skills as a part of the overall artistic expression of the book, and takes into account its close relationship with other elements of children's books. For example, in the chapter of "Picture Book", the author not only talks about the illustrations in the picture book, but also pays special attention to the coordination between the pictures and words in the book, the painter and the writer. The English version of the complete course of children's book illustrations in Cambridge Art College was published in 2004. At that time, children's picture books in the modern sense had experienced more than a century of development. The discussion in the book is based on the artistic height achieved by illustrations in European and American picture books 100 years. Obviously, the launch of such a book means a timely and important creative enlightenment for the newly started original picture book business in China. This book systematically introduces the illustration drawing, typesetting, sample book making, publishing and promotion of children's books, which can provide valuable inspiration for many local artists who are interested in illustration of children's books. And obviously it's not just a book belonging to the creator. For many readers and researchers of children's picture books, the discussion in the book also provides another necessary perspective to interpret this artistic style from the inside of the painting language of picture books; Through it, we can see more clearly how pictures "speak" in their own way in books, so as to listen to the meaning of each picture book more closely. I believe that all people who care about children's picture books can get different enlightenment from this book.
