Charm and Packaging Design of Folk Art (II)

The existence of wood toys has extended a gorgeous emotional field in the abundance of material culture. The variety of folk art is far-reaching, but whether it is paper cutting, dry boating, carved wood, embroidered clothes, or wooden toys, the role of these things is obvious. People need not only practical but also beautiful. People are not only To live, but also to live gusto.
To explore the relationship between wood toys and art and design, in fact, from the corner of folk art to find the needs of the public, to find the direction of the development of modern art design. Folk arts and crafts are never top-notch artworks, but the arts have to lean over and care for this ordinary folk craft. The application of stereoscopic and precise data calculations in art design to the design of wood toys has become an interesting educational toy. The staggered blocks of wood show people a strange spiritual world and surprise people with their wisdom in art. Embodied from the perceptual to the rational, and then from the rational to the perceptual artistic practice and the universal cognitive law.
Similarly, when we are doing artistic design, we might as well take a look at the treasures of these folk arts and it will become a source of inspiration. In an abstract sense, these seemingly trussed wooden toys reveal to us the truth that things that seem impossibly are often hidden, and artistic design is just like this. In the search for this mystery, we see a sky. Mobile homes like roller skates are dreams of childhood. Perhaps wood toys can make this dream an instant reality.
The use of a mixture of three-dimensional and two-dimensional planes expands people's thinking, and it seems that space has become larger in the moment. In the modern design field, this kind of mixed-dimensional expression technique is also very common. For example, the production of three-dimensional posters, the use of paper-cutting, collage, comprehensive materials, etc., greatly enriched the graphic art design genre, which opened up a wider field of vision for graphic arts design.
From the point of view of the essential attributes of wood toys, there are also simple and clear styling features, and there are also very successful applications in the art design field. The famous Taiwanese sculptor Ju Ming's sculpture "Tai Chi" gives people the same idea. The work successfully uses the simple line beauty of Founder, shows the charm of Tai Chi, gives people a sense of power and majesty.
Or it can be discussed from the body of a wooden toy. The inspiration gained from the wooden toy in the art field not only represents the wooden toy, but is the request for the natural material and the inspiration for nature. In the form of folk art, because of the times, it is closer to original craftsmanship and natural materials. Without high-tech instruments, with the wise men discovering and transforming nature, then we may learn from their creations. Design spirit. Starting from the nature, the pursuit of harmony between man and nature.
Returning to the emotional sustenance of a wooden toy is the historical value of its existence, which means that because of its nostalgic atmosphere is quite strong. The fast-paced life makes people think hard when they have a leisure time. When they see wood toys, will they think of the dim pictures they took when building a castle with bricks? Therefore, the power of historical values ​​in art design cannot be ignored.
It is not only the age of the design work but also the atmosphere of the times reflected in the work itself. The well-known lighter brand ZIPPO is a good example of the application of historical value in art design. ZIPPO seized the times and history, launched a series of works with many historical and cultural characteristics, and condensed a story into a small lighter. Perhaps an exquisite military emblem evokes a smoke-filled war. The excavation of historical values ​​has inspired designers' creative inspiration.
The design work is a flower that is poured out of the designer's heart. It is also a root-stemmed vein constructed from the brain. Looking at art designs from wooden toys and artistic designs from folk arts, the concept in short is focusing on the application of wisdom, nature, emotion, history, and culture.
