Cao Xue, who grew up in Nanjing, was deeply impressed by her childhood study and life. He said: "I like painting since kindergarten. At that time, I painted for myself. After I went to elementary school, I began to learn painting at the Children's Palace in Gulou District, and I persisted in high school without interruption. "
"I can always stick to my interests and have a lot to do with my parents." Cao Xue said that before he retired, his father was a screenwriter in the Literature and Art Department of Nanjing TV Station, and his mother was a primary school math and art teacher. "I have an artistic atmosphere since I was a child, and my parents respect my personal choices very much. I like painting, so they will buy a lot of picture books for me to copy. "
The memory of playing with snow as a child is integrated into the relevant design of "Ice Pier"
The experience of studying painting as a child laid a professional foundation for Cao Xue's later works. Referring to the mascot of the Winter Olympics "Ice Pier", Cao Xue said that the design was inspired in part by his experience of playing with snow in Nanjing as a child.
In Cao Xue's memory, when it snowed in winter as a child, children would find some small bamboo boards, wooden boards, small benches and so on. At home, tie them into "earth sleds" or skateboard covers, and then invite friends to ski in the snow downstairs. Everyone, you pulled me and pushed me, and you had a good time.
This childhood memory was later incorporated by Cao Xue into the related promotional videos of Bing Dundun and Xue Rongrong released by CCTV. "The action of shaking the snow after the ice pier slides down from the snow-capped mountain, as well as the scene when the gyro is brushed on the ice and the sled and snow are integrated. The creativity comes from childhood memories."
"If you want to be a designer, you must learn to see everything around you with your own eyes from an early age, and then store it in your mind. When you happen to see something in the future, the elements you once remembered and the elements you just saw at the moment will react chemically and generate inspiration. " Cao Xue said, "Not only' Ice Shield', I often use my childhood memories when making albums, books and packaging designs."
