In picture story books, words are not descriptions of pictures, and pictures are not illustrations of words. The relationship between words and pictures is complementary. For such a special literary style, picture books have special requirements in writing and painting.
First, the text requirements: including the text in the story with pictures and the ideas in the story without pictures. The general requirements of the two are in line with children's hobbies and acceptance level and the requirements of children's literary language.
1, have a "sense of vision and movement". The text of a painting is usually the basis of a painter's painting. Therefore, the text of picture books must first have a "visual sense" to make the text easy to express in the picture; Words should be dynamic. When writing a story, we should take into account the changes of plot, scene and characters.
2. Have a sense of rhythm. The text of the picture story book requires simplicity, but it is by no means a dry outline, but a vivid, beautiful and rhythmic language. Concise, accurate, vivid and colorful.
Second, the painting requirements
1, the picture should be full of children's interest. Use exaggeration, personification and other methods to make the picture look interesting and novel, or have the breath of children's life, and children can imagine and understand it with their own life experience.
2, the picture should be suitable for the child's understanding level. It is difficult for children to understand the three-dimensional perspective picture, so they often use the horizontal and vertical two-dimensional space composition.
