Illustration style of vole Buddha-interpretation of vole Buddha in picture books

what is the style of the illustrations in the famous picture book "Afo the vole"? Leo Lionni was born in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in May 191. His father was a Belgian Jewish businessman and his mother was a soprano. Because his home is near the art museum and his uncles are architects, painters and art collectors, he has been immersed in a rich artistic atmosphere since he was a child. At the age of 13, he moved to America and Italy with his family. Received a doctorate in economics in 1935. In 1945, there was a wave of anti-Semitism in Europe, and they were forced to flee the United States with their families. Leoni is a talented and unconstrained artistic genius, who is proficient in painting, sculpture, graphic design, printing, ceramics, photography ..... and has been the design director of Fortune magazine for 1 years. In the meantime, he held many solo exhibitions and design exhibitions in Europe and the United States, and served as the chairman of the American Graphic Arts Society and the chairman of the 1953 International Design Conference. In 1955, he won the production designer Prize for Best Advertising Production of American Graphic Arts Association and the Gold Medal of Architectural Union in 1956. When he was awarded the American Academy of Graphic Arts Award in 1984, he was appraised as having deeply influenced at least three generations through his artistic creation, design creation, leadership and talent cultivation in the design field, and creation of picture books for children. Humanism and rationalism run through his works from beginning to end. Although Leonie was 49 years old when he started to create picture books, he started a new era of picture books. The New York Times once gave him such a compliment: "If picture books are a new visual art of our time, Leo Lionni is the master of this style." His picture books have won numerous awards, among which One-inch Worm, Little Black Fish, Afo the vole, Alexander and the Clockwork Mouse won the American Cadillac Award four times in 1961, 1964, 1968 and 197 respectively. In October 1999, this master of picture books, known as the "color magician", died in Italy at the age of 89. Design of the Introduction to "Buddha of the vole" [Introduction to the picture book] In an old stone wall, there lived a little vole who loved to talk and play. Winter is coming. When the other four voles are busy collecting food for the winter, Ah Fu, the vole, sits alone. He tells everyone that he is also working, just collecting other things-sunshine, colors and words. Winter is long and cold, and slowly, the food is eaten up by everyone. At this time, Afo took out the things he "collected" to let everyone feel the warmth of sunshine, the profusion of spring and the deep poetry. The little voles were surprised to find that Afo was a poet. [Guidance goal ]1.

[Introduction process] Section 1 Telling stories and listening to stories Dear students, welcome to Cctalk live room of the reading course for children's picture books! Tonight, we will share the picture book "Afo the vole". 1. Look at the cover screen picture: the cover is the face of the picture book. Whether we like a picture book or not often begins with whether we like the cover of this picture book or not. On the cover of a picture book, there are both titles and pictures. Just from the cover, we can roughly guess what story it tells and what characteristics the hero of the story has. Please look carefully at the titles and pictures on the cover and tell me what information you have learned. Preset: A Fu, a vole, is a different vole. He seems to love beauty with a red poppy in his hand. This vole looks cute with a smile. Another function of the cover is to introduce the creator of this book to us, and foreign picture books will also write the translator's name. Look at this book. Who are the authors and translators? This is a picture book written and painted by Leo Lionni. Below the author, there is also an English Frederick, which is translated into Chinese as the English name of frederick and Alfred vole. 2. Look at the back cover. What do you find? Default: The front cover Afo is facing us, and the back cover Afo is facing us. What we see is its back. 3. Look at the ring lining. Open the front and back ring lining of this picture book. What do you find? Ah! It's full of Frederick's names! What does it mean to write a name over and over again? There is no hurry to answer. 4. Look at the title page From the title page, we can know that this picture book is published by Nanhai Publishing Company. 5. Read the text on the screen: There is a meadow where cows used to graze and horses used to stroll. Along the edge of the grass, stands an old stone wall. There used to be cows grazing and horses strolling, but what about now? What about "now" Screen picture and text: Inside the stone wall, not far from the barn and barn, there lived a family of voles who loved to talk and play. But now the farmers have moved away, the barn is abandoned and the barn is empty. Seeing that winter was not far away, the voles began to collect corn, nuts, wheat and straw. From morning till night, they are all busy-with one exception, Ah Fu. When reading picture books again, we can try to "read pictures" by ourselves and see what information we can read from pictures without words. Children who can read pictures often have rich imaginations. Who is this exception? Afo. Then where is Buddha? Let's continue to listen to the story! Screen graphic: "Buddha, why don't you work?" They asked. "I'm working," Afo said. "I'm collecting sunshine because it's cold and dark in winter." Who understands what Alfred is doing? Buddha is collecting sunshine. Keep reading the story. Hey, our Buddha is staring at the grass! Do you want to know what he is doing? Other voles want to know, too. Screen graphic: They see Ah Fu sometimes sitting there, staring at the grass. They said, "What about now, Afo?" "I'm collecting colors," Afo replied simply, "because winter is gray." What do you want to say after reading this? What kind of vole do you think Ah Fu is? Default: There is no way to collect sunlight and colors. These can't be done at all. I think Buddha is ridiculous. He is just lazy and doesn't want to work. It is impossible to collect sunlight and colors. Ah, Buddha is so strange. Summary: Oh, everyone thinks that it is impossible to collect sunlight and colors, right? Ah Fu's story continues. Look, our Ah Fu seems to be falling asleep. Screen graphic: On another occasion, Ah Fu seemed to fall asleep. "Are you dreaming, Afo?" They asked him a little reproachfully. (The key points on the screen are marked in red) Have you noticed that for the first time, when Afo collected sunshine, his family asked; The second time, when Afo collected colors, his family "said"; I'm a little blamed this time. Why? Who can talk about it? Default: 1. Because Buddha just wants to be lazy and doesn't want to work. 2. If it were me, I would be very angry, too. Everyone is working, but Ah Fu is collecting sunshine there. It's incredible. 3. Ah Fu is too selfish. Screen graphic: But Afo said, "Oh,no.". I am collecting words, because there are many long days in winter, and we will finish the sentence. " Is Ah Fu really lazy and selfish? Ok, let's read on. Screen graphic: Winter has come quietly. When the first snow fell, five little voles hid in the hiding place in the stone wall. Winter is cold and long. Screen graphic: At first, there was a lot to eat, and the little voles told the story of the stupid fox and the stupid cat together. They are a happy family. Screen graphic: But they ate almost all the nuts and berries bit by bit, and the straw was gone, and the corn became a memory. It's cold in the stone wall, and no one wants to chat. Screen graphic: At this time, they remembered the sunshine, colors and words that Afo talked about. "Well, Ah Fu, where are your things?" They asked. Can our Buddha take out what he collected? If so, can you take out those things? Listen, everyone! Ah Fu's voice is ringing! Screen graphic: "Close your eyes," Afo said as he climbed a big stone. Please close your eyes together. "Now, I bring you sunshine. Do you feel it? Its golden light children, imagine the sun shining its golden light on the haystack, and the fragrance of hay comes to the nose; Its golden light shines on us, and we are warm; Its golden light shines on the quilt, which makes us fall asleep sweetly smelling the sun in the quilt. "Do you feel it, children?"? Children, please open your eyes. Screen picture: Just as Afo talked about the sun, the four little voles began to feel warmer. Is that Buddha's voice? Does it have magic? Our four little voles seem to be addicted. They are full of longing and ask: "Buddha, what about the color?" "Close your eyes again," Afo said. So he told them about the blue periwinkle, the red poppy growing in the yellow wheat field, and the green leaves among the strawberries. Afo said, and they saw the colors clearly, as if they were painted in their heads. Why are you full of desire? Default: 1. Because Afo's performance in collecting sunlight is wonderful, everyone is also full of longing for his next performance. 2. Because the little voles have finished eating and talking, they feel bored. Conclusion: Yes, the days are too monotonous, so they are full of longing for warm and colorful colors. The colors described in Ah Fu's mouth are just like those painted in their minds. What does this mean? Default: It means that Ah Fu can speak very well. Conclusion: By the way, Ah Fu is a good descriptive person. He describes the color of flowers vividly, just like painting them in the minds of voles. Ok, I'll ask another student to read it. Children must want to ask, "What other words are there?" Yes, that's what our little vole asked Ah Fu. Screen graphic: "There are words, Afo?" Afo cleared his throat, waited for a while, and then, as if standing on the stage, he said, "Who scatters snowflakes in the sky? Who melts the ice on the ground? Who will make the weather better? Who will make the weather worse? Who makes four-leaf clover grow in June? Who put out the sunshine? Who lights up the moon again? It's four little voles. They all live in the sky. It's four little voles, just like you and me One is Koharu mouse, open the shower of rain and dew. The following summer mouse likes to paint on flowers. The little autumn mouse came with wheat and walnuts. The winter mouse finally stamped its feet with cold. Think about how lucky it is that all the seasons are just right. No more, no less! " Who will learn Buddha? Read this poem. Evaluation. Who else wants to read? Do you like this poem? Yes, as the students said, this poem is very interesting and interesting. Afo sensitively captures the changes of the four seasons, and imagines the four seasons as little mice like them, with vivid language and full of emotion. Screen graphic: When Afo finished speaking, they applauded together. "Well, Ah Fu," they said, "you are a poet. What a surprise." They say Afo is a poet. What kind of person do you think is a poet? Presupposition: 1. He who can write poetry is a poet. 2. A good storyteller like A Fu is a poet. A poet is someone who can do something we didn't expect, like A Fu. Summary: What kind of talent is a poet? A poet has a pair of eyes that are good at discovering. He can find the beauty in life better than ordinary people. In the poet's eyes, sunshine, colors and words, which are easily overlooked in daily life, have different meanings in him. Such a person is a poet even if he doesn't write poetry. Ok, let's look at the last page again. Children say that Buddha statue is not like a poet! Screen image: Afo blushed, bowed and said shyly, "Yes, I know." The story is finished. But the story is not over yet. What's Afo thinking on the back cover? Section 2 _ Talking about Afo We read a picture book, and it is far from enough to understand its story content. The connotation of classic picture books is very rich, and its interpretation is also diverse. Now, let's talk about what the picture book "Afo the vole" brings us. Topic 1: What do you think of Afo's behavior of collecting sunlight, colors and words? Please leave a message or raise your hand in the message area. Summary: seemingly useless things can come in handy at critical moments. The voles hide in stone walls, and there is little room for living. In the closed narrow space, the days are getting more and more boring and empty. At this time, Afo shared the sunshine, and the little voles felt bright and warm; Afo shared the color, and the voles felt the colorful and bright flowers and plants; Afo shared words, and the voles felt alive and happy. Also in the narrow stone wall, life has a new vitality because of the sunshine, colors and words collected by Afo. Topic 2: Do you like Ah Fu? What attracts you most about him? Default 1: Stay cute. Take the opportunity to guide and observe the picture and appreciate its delicacy. ) preset 2: insist on being yourself. Ah Fu always knew that he was a poet. He recognized himself and was determined to be himself. Although he is not understood in spring, summer and autumn, he always believes that the sunshine, colors and words remembered with his delicate heart are needed in the cold, dark and long winter. He has the delicacy that other voles don't have, and his vision is different from other voles. It is destined that this collection of spiritual food will be completed by him. This is his mission and responsibility. He firmly believes and acts firmly. Everyone is unique in this world, no matter how ordinary they are, they are also limited edition. I am only useful when I am born. We should know ourselves, affirm ourselves and be the best ourselves. I believe this is the inspiration from Afo. Presupposition 3: A keen sensibility A poet needs "sensibility". The sensibility here refers not only to the ability to appreciate art, but also to perception, emotion and imagination. In the picture book, the voles followed Afo to see yellow rice fields, green grasslands, red strawberries and blue sky. Not only that, the voles also felt the rain in spring, flowers in summer, food in autumn and small ice feet in winter. Finally, the poet Afo said, "We are so lucky. There are four seasons in a year, neither more nor less." Look! Afo has a special feeling for nature, perceiving and expressing the beauty of nature in its way. Children, your growth needs not only the accumulation of knowledge, but also the interaction with nature. Learning, thinking and self-experience in feelings. In childhood, your nature is to play and experience. Go to nature more, and the connection with nature will be an important channel to gain experience and perception. Come outside like Buddha, you can study leaves, play with dirt, and feel the smell of light rain and sunshine. In nature, your feelings are open, your hearts are open, and there is great beauty in heaven and earth. If you learn from the aura between heaven and earth, you will become more intelligent.
