红色鞋子，喊出：停止针对女性的暴力！

11月25日是“消除针对女性暴力行为国际日”。 这一纪念日由联合国大会于1999年设立，旨在提升公众对非暴力与尊重女性重要性的认识。遗憾的是，相关新闻事件在我们社会中屡见不鲜，且令人痛心地持续发生；今年，我们特别选择在学校中就此主题展开讨论，并为这一纪念日贡献我们的力量。

在许多国家（例如意大利），这一天所采用的颜色是红色，而一个标志性意象便是红色女鞋——它们被成排陈列于广场或公共场所，象征遭受暴力与女性谋杀的受害者。

这一创意源自墨西哥艺术家埃琳娜·绍韦特（Elina Chauvet）于2009年在华雷斯城（Ciudad Juarez）一处广场创作的装置作品《红鞋》（Zapatos Rojos），其灵感来自她妹妹遭丈夫杀害的悲剧，以及数百名暴力受害女性的惨痛现实。

该作品既可采用数字形式创作，也可采用手绘/纸媒形式完成，可使用真实鞋履照片，或参考下方提供的鞋履线稿进行绘制。

数字绘画环节，我们使用学校配备的iPad及Sketchbook应用程序：首先新建一层，由每位学生从网络自行选取一张鞋履照片并上传至该图层。随后，在上方新图层中，以较粗的黑色笔触进行描摹。可将鞋履照片图层适当调低透明度，以便更清晰地观察上层描摹效果。描摹时务必确保所有线条完全闭合，以便后续填色。

完成描摹后，关闭鞋履照片图层，仅在描摹图层上继续操作，进入上色阶段。使用油漆桶工具（BUCKET tool）为闭合区域填充颜色（线条必须严格闭合）。颜色请从调色板中选取。

作品收尾阶段，在鞋履描摹图层下方新建一层，用粗重笔画、大写英文字母书写反对针对女性暴力的标语，以有力呐喊出我们的宣言：“STOP VIOLENCE!!” 文字需排列紧密、密度高，形成一种肌理感：

以下图片展示了七、八年级学生使用iPad进行数字绘画的情景；这些作品最终被整合为一幅大型海报，悬挂于学校大厅：

若采用纸媒方式绘制，可使用鞋履的复印图样进行描摹，亦可直接使用下方已准备好的填色工作纸。鞋履图案可用彩铅或记号笔装饰，表现纯色、肌理、图案或明暗变化。

Red shoes to say: STOP violence against women

November 25th is the “International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women”. This is an anniversary established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1999 to raise public awareness of the importance of non-violence and respect for women. Unfortunately, news events are commonplace and sadly current for our society; This year in particular we have chosen to talk about it at school and make our contribution to this day.

In many countries, such as Italy, the color displayed on this day is red and one of the symbolic objects is represented by red women’s shoes, lined up in squares or public places, to represent the victims of violence and femicide.

The idea was born from an installation by Mexican artist Elina Chauvet, Zapatos Rojos, created in 2009 in a square in Ciudad Juarez and inspired by the murder of her sister at the hands of her husband and the hundreds of women victims of violence.

This work can be created both in digital format and in graphic/paper format, using photographs of shoes or the shoe drawings found below

For the DIGITAL drawing we used the iPads supplied to our school with the Sketchbook application: we started from a first level where we uploaded a photograph of shoes that each student chose from the web. The drawing is done on a higher layer with a fairly thick black pen stroke. The layer with the photo of the shoes can be made a bit transparent to allow greater visibility of the drawing above. The drawing must always have CLOSED LINES to allow filling with color

Once the drawing is finished, you close the layer with the photo and work exclusively on the drawing layer, proceeding with the colors. To fill the lines (which must be perfectly CLOSED) with color, use the BUCKET tool and choose the colors from the palette.

To conclude the drawing, you insert a new layer under the the shoes drawing and write sentences against violence against women, using capital letters with a strong stroke, precisely to forcefully shout our “STOP VIOLENCE!!” The writing is dense and compressed to form a kind of texture:

Below is a short video of the process:

The images below are of seventh and eighth grade students working on iPads and digital drawings with which we created a large poster to hang in the school hall:

To make the drawing on paper you can use photocopies of shoes to trace or you can directly use the worksheets ready to colour. The shoes can be decorated with pencils or markers, with solid colors, textures, patterns or shades.
