ABSTRACT

Kushulan's pure colors, simple shapes, clever decorations, and childlike artistic imagination have all reached a state of freedom. This is in line with children's psychological characteristics, aesthetic characteristics, and expression techniques. In the eyes of simple-minded children, they often cannot appreciate profound art, but they like pure colors and simple shapes. Moreover, Kushulan's collage paper-cutting is the essence of Chinese folk culture. By absorbing and applying the collage paper-cutting art language to children's picture books, and integrating it with the characteristics of children's picture books themselves during the transformation process, the creation of children's picture books in my country can become more colorful.
