Similarities and differences between China's picture books and Western picture books
In foreign countries, most picture books are created by excellent top artists and illustrators, and every picture is extremely attentive. Needless to say, the exquisite degree of composition management and color matching, in addition to various themes, various media of paper paintings, there are all kinds of hand-torn books, toy books, three-dimensional picture books and so on.

Picture book stories are often vivid and beautiful, involving rich children's psychology and color vision. Moreover, there are also very professional and perfect children's illustration majors abroad, which constantly cultivate talents and big friends who love picture books for this industry.

On the other hand, in China, we have to say that the specialty of children's picture books is still in its infancy. On the one hand, from a professional point of view, only the Central Academy of Fine Arts has a professional picture book studio, and other universities have no specialty focusing on children's picture books at all, which is almost a blank subject in China.

On the other hand, judging from the current situation of original picture books in China, picture books can hardly make any money, which leads to a large number of talented picture book authors jumping ship or engaging in other commercial illustrations.

It has also caused many picture books in China to come from non-professionals such as cheap secondary schools, and laymen have been learning painting for a few days. Without years of accumulation of aesthetic and artistic accomplishment, they started directly by simple and blunt methods. When painting, they want to make money, let alone enjoy it. Naturally, the picture quality can't be compared with that of artists in ordinary classes. This is a fact and a very sad situation.

Extended data:

Picture books were born in Europe in the17th century. In 1930s, the mainstream of picture books was introduced into America, which ushered in the golden age of picture books. In 1950s and 1960s, South Korea and Japan began to develop picture books. In 1970s, Taiwan Province Province began to read picture books, which subsequently led to the prosperity of picture book reading.

Picture books can not only tell stories and learn knowledge, but also help children build up their spirit and cultivate multiple intelligences. 2 1 century, reading picture books has become a fashion for children all over the world.

According to the research of children's psychology, children's cognitive ability of graphics began to develop slowly from a very young age. Although the children at that time could not read, they already had the ability to read pictures. If this time, parents can consciously read picture books with their children, create a warm environment, read words to their children, look at pictures for their children, and tell stories to their children.

Children will be exposed to high-level pictures and words from the beginning. They will taste the art of painting by listening to stories and understand words and literature by appreciating pictures. Fast food culture is fleeting and brings only temporary happiness. In contrast, there is no doubt about appreciating picture books.
