About Chinese Sports Illustrasie

Chinese Sport is 'n reeks van vyf illustrasies oor tradisionele Chinese sportsoorte. Die stel beeld akrobatiek, cuju, ruitersport, die vyf-diere-oefeninge en werp uit. Elke illustrasie plaas sy sportsoort binne die historiese tydperk waarin dit gewild was, sodat die beelde 'n gevoel van geskiedenis met 'n gevoel van beweging kombineer. Die sketse is met potlood geteken, daarna geskandeer en met digitale skilderprogrammatuur voltooi. Die reeks is aanlyn vrygestel om die publiek te help om die kulturele betekenis van hierdie tradisionele sportsoorte te leer ken.

Design Challenge: The difficulty lies in looking up the relevant background information of the times. China's history has a long history. It is difficult to find the background of the times in which sports with different characteristics flourished in the long history.

Research: Under the background of the vigorous development of sports events around the world, this study, based on the oriental perspective, collected five different traditional Chinese sports, namely "acrobatics", "cuju", "equestrian", "five bird games" and "throwing", by consulting ancient books and relevant papers, and created five different theme illustrations according to the different times at that time, It is helpful for people to further understand the philosophical connotation, cultural connotation and humanistic spirit contained in Chinese traditional sports.
