兩個小孩
彩虹愛家生命教育協會創立於1997年,長久以來致力於兒童生命教育事工,透過多元藝術創作、思考體驗、關懷陪伴,進入全台灣的小學、社區、家庭等,希望建立正向力量的生命信念,幫助父母親陪伴孩子在正確的生命認同和文化價值中成長。近年來推出親子療癒音樂,希望藉由音樂的能量,創造出更多親子陪伴互動的美好時光。
第二張親子療癒系列的專輯主題「兩個小孩」將過去陪伴華人兒童成長、朗朗上口的童謠,斥資台美跨國製作,10首創作歌曲並且將歌詞延伸故事性。特別是透過歌詞中唱著很奇怪的「兩隻老虎」這首童謠,延伸出「兩個小孩」主打歌,希望傳遞出每個孩子即使個別不一樣,卻擁有各自美好的特質,一點也不奇怪。
整張專輯的主視覺設計,以俏皮可愛充滿童趣的手繪風格,結合鮮豔對比度強烈卻不混雜的色彩應用,並且細膩詮釋專輯主題歌曲內描述的意象,透過大面畫布的形式,無論是比較酷的小孩、內向害羞的、活潑外放的、愛運動又或愛畫畫的,透過如草地盛會般的熱鬧場景,逐一生動繪製出不同個性、不同行為表現、不同特質的孩子們。此外更設計了一張桌遊海報,繪畫出各關卡的場景,編排出視覺的活潑和趣味性,更增加寓教於樂的價值,讓父母可以陪同孩子一邊聽歌曲,一邊享受互動同樂的親子時光。
Two Kids
Founded in 1997, Rainbow Family Life Education Association has long been committed to the education of a children’s life. Through the use of multiple forms of creative art, experiential learning, care and companionship, they have brought a new positive lifestyle and faith into primary schools, communities, and families all across Taiwan in the hope of educating parents to help their children grow with a healthy identity and positive cultural values.
In recent years, the introduction of family-oriented healing music has help to create a new space for parent-child interaction through the energy of music.
The second album of this series, a joint-project between the US and Taiwan agencies, is called “Two Kids”. It combines childhood rhymes and catchy tunes bringing life and a story behind each of the 10 tracks.
In particular, the lyrics will be accompanied by the odd childhood tune of “Two Tigers” to become the cover song of the “Two Kids” album. Using such odd combination, the hope is to convey that though each child is different, those differences are in fact their unique and attractive qualities, nothing to be ashamed of.
The main visual design of the whole album is designed with playful and cute hand-drawn illustrations combined with bright contrasting colors to convey the core value of the album in a large canvas drawing style. Whether it is the popular kid, the shy introvert, the lively extrovert, the kid who likes sports, or the one who loves painting, each kid with their different personalities, expressions and qualities are all vividly drawn into the backdrop of a festival in the prairie.
In addition, a board game style poster has been designed, illustrated with the scenery of every stage of the song in order to create an intriguing and lively visual, increasing the overall fun and education value. In this manner, the parents can also accompany their children, interacting with them as they sing along the music.
