Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

Chapter 128, Professional Courses, Honors, New Tasks

Early Thursday morning, Jiang Zhe had breakfast in the cafeteria and returned to his dormitory to prepare his painting supplies for class.

Gan Wenjie was not there, probably because he had gone to eat; the other two were just lazing in bed.

Jiang Zhe came to his seat and checked his painting supplies again.

The professional course will start today, and Teacher Hu has already conveyed the preparation requirements for the first sketching class in advance.

He packed his sketching tool box, sketchbook, tools for fixing drawing paper, water cup and other items into his bag, picked up a rolled-up sketch paper, and said to his roommate before leaving: "I'm going to class, hurry up."

The two roommates went downstairs reluctantly.

……

Monitor Han stood at the door of the classroom. When he saw Jiang Zhe entering the corridor from the stairs, he checked the list and waved, "Here."

Jiang Zhe came to the door and looked into the classroom. The desks and chairs were already neatly arranged. He said to Han Yin, "Thank you for your hard work, monitor."

"It's my duty to serve everyone." Han Yin arranged the classroom with the class committee yesterday. Today, only Jiang Zhe expressed his gratitude to her. The feeling of being recognized for her efforts made her feel good and she was willing to talk to Jiang Zhe more. "Teacher Hu said that we should have class first this morning and then go to the studio."

Jiang Zhe thanked him again. At this time, some classmates arrived one after another, and he entered the classroom and sat down at random.

The weather in early September was still very hot, and without air conditioning, everyone dressed casually.

As students arrived one after another, everyone chatted with people nearby or with those they knew.

Soon, Teacher Qin, Teacher Hu and a young male teacher walked into the classroom.

The students who were originally chatting immediately quieted down.

Teacher Hu first introduced Teacher Qin and another young teacher to everyone.

The young teacher’s surname is Jia. He has a square face and a middle-parted hairstyle.

Teacher Qin is the head of the oil painting major. On behalf of all the teachers in the oil painting major, he put forward learning requirements to the students and then introduced the course.

"The first professional course for everyone is the basic sketching course. Sketching will always be an important course in the next four years. Teacher Jia will lead everyone in the first class. Teacher Jia is a top student who graduated from our college and studied in Russia. In addition, according to the tradition of our school, Teacher Jia is the main lecturer, and other teachers of the oil painting major will also come to the studio from time to time to guide everyone's study..."

After Teacher Qin finished what he wanted to say, he left the classroom.

Teacher Jia and Teacher Hu had been fiddling with the projector. At this moment, he faced everyone and cleared his throat: "I won't say much. You all must have chosen the oil painting major because you love it and are determined to work hard for it. I hope you will take every class and every exercise seriously."

He clicked on the first work.

The projection screen showed a sketch by Leonardo da Vinci - a portrait of a woman gazing sideways.

"I think everyone is familiar with this painting, and you may have copied it before." Teacher Jia looked at the students. "What do you think of this painting?"

No one from the students answered.

Teacher Jia said to himself: "You have been taking art classes since the first grade of elementary school and have learned about Leonardo da Vinci's paintings. You should start learning from Leonardo da Vinci's works in undergraduate studies. In the future, if you study for a master's degree, you will also have to study these classic works. However, the content and purpose of learning are different.

Our class is about the basics of sketching and studying the principles of modeling.

Before I talk about the basic modeling methods, I want to emphasize one point. When we study the excellent works of masters, generally speaking, we have two purposes: to cultivate our own aesthetic ability and to learn skills..."

All students were very serious about the first professional course.

Teacher Jia briefly talked about the importance of appreciation. He started by analyzing Leonardo da Vinci's sketches, how to focus on the facial features and blur the hair and other parts, and then talked about the modeling methods such as lines, light and shade.

Jiang Zhe gradually discovered a characteristic of the lectures given by teachers at the Academy of Arts. Regardless of whether students can digest them or not, they will directly start to raise the level of professional knowledge. Students need to work hard to keep up with the teacher's pace and try to understand some professional terms with personal characteristics.

For example, when Mr. Jia talks about aesthetics, he emphasizes the feeling of beauty, which can also be called resonance. When he talks about the principles of modeling, he often talks about the analysis and application of virtual and real lines.

"We start learning from classical sketching because it is an efficient way of modeling. These masters have painted many works in their lives. One important feature is that in addition to shaping beauty, they also use the most effective way to reproduce the form. Look at this painting, there are almost no extra lines in it... These lines can be divided into light and dark, virtual and real, that is, the places where the spatial modeling changes subtly, and the places where the spatial modeling changes greatly..."

Teacher Jia spent more than ten minutes analyzing a work of Leonardo da Vinci, and then led the students to appreciate sketches of other masters, from Michelangelo, Holbein, Dürer to some sketches of the Repin Academy of Fine Arts.

At the beginning of the course, students are fully engaged, but as the study time goes on, their reactions become slower.

"Let's relax." Teacher Jia noticed the changes in the class. "In the first class, I may have said too much, and everyone couldn't accept it at first. Later, everyone will communicate slowly.

I have a request: you should not relax your appreciation. You will have a special reading course. The school library has a large number of imported picture albums, and you can read them at any time. Find your own expression language.

In addition, all the teachers reviewed the first batch of sketches submitted by everyone.

Here, I would like to praise several students. ”

He picked up the handout for the first time and began to read out the names: "Jiang Zhe, Mou Xing, Feng Xinwei, Liu Yulin, Guo Xin, Fu Min. The sketches of these six students are very good."

He put down the handouts and looked at the students. "These six students drew their sketches seriously. They were not just random records, nor were they done to complete a task. The other students drew enough sketches, but they were just to get by. We need to correct this in the future."

Every student who can be admitted to the oil painting major has good skills. Even those who seem to have relatively weak skills in the class have their own pride. When many students heard what Teacher Jia said, they couldn't help but look at the six people who were praised by name.

At this time, Jiang Zhe heard the system prompt: The painter gained honor, the painter gained..."

Taking advantage of the opportunity to lower his head, he quietly opened the system and saw the system prompt.

The honors that the painter is gaining include both increased fame and recognition from others.

Even as he was checking the explanation, the system continued to remind him that he had received honors.

Jiang Zhe felt that the reminder sound had become a distraction, so he changed it to a silent reminder. Although the honor he gained only made a small change in the honor experience bar, he felt that it was good to have an increase. If you accumulate small things, you will always see success.

Teacher Jia continued: "From now on, every time you complete an assignment, you will have the opportunity to display your work. For each assignment, we will select works to be retained in school. Please note that not every assignment will have works retained in school.

If the quality is high and all teachers can pass, the number of works retained can be increased. If the quality is not good enough, it is better to have nothing than to have something of poor quality.

There was a class that didn’t have a single piece of work left in school for a year. Don’t underestimate your professional scores, they are also very important to you.”

With the previous experience, Jiang Zhe knew that the exhibition was a good opportunity to collect honors, so he made up his mind to take every assignment and display opportunity seriously.

Teacher Jia put forward the requirements for this class: draw a double-page sketch - a plaster statue of David.

"Before the art exam, you are used to drawing short sketches. In this class, you need to change some bad habits and study in-depth modeling. The course lasts for one month, two days a week, and you can arrange your time freely on weekends. You have at least eight days to complete a sketch, so there is plenty of time. I don't ask you to start drawing today. You can watch it first, think it through, and find the right feeling before starting to draw."

Many students looked confused after hearing the requirements.

Teacher Jia knew that students needed to adapt and digest, so she took them to get drawing boards and easels, and then went to the studio to divide them into groups.

The studio is large, with four plaster statues of David already placed there.

This statue is not suitable for depiction at all angles. In order to ensure that everyone can find a suitable position, Teacher Jia divided the students into four groups.

Jiang Zhe and five other classmates were in a special group.

These six people happened to be the six people who were specifically named for praise.

Jiang Zhe was choosing a location when he heard the system prompt and knew that there was a new task.

He looked for the system page and saw that there was indeed a task posted.

Sketching is the first professional course and the first assignment for painters in college, so please take it seriously.

Task requirements: Complete a sketch of a plaster statue of David. If the work reaches the level of quality, you will receive a random reward. If the work is qualified to stay in school, you will receive a corresponding reward.

Failure penalty: None. (Note: Although there is no penalty, it is very embarrassing.)
Tip: The painter has three more opportunities to observe the master's creation.

Suggestion: If painters want to observe the works of masters, please try to collect information about their works. The system simulation process will be more detailed and realistic.

After reading the prompts, Jiang Zhe finally understood that the viewing opportunity provided by the system was to restore the master's creative process based on existing works. Therefore, the system would require him to collect as many related works as possible.

He decided to go to the library to collect information.

After seeing that the students were settled, Teacher Jia left. Before leaving, he told everyone that they could come to his office if they had any questions.

After the teacher left, the independent-minded students had already started to take action, and some students discussed with people they were familiar with what to do first.

Fu Min was a thin girl. When she saw Jiang Zhe was about to leave, she asked him, "Jiang Zhe, are you going to the library or the art museum?"

Jiang Zhe said, "Let's go to the library and read."

After hearing Jiang Zhe's decisive answer, several people made an appointment to go to the library together.

Jiang Zhe returned to the dormitory, found his library card, and went to the library to borrow picture albums.

The library of the Academy of Arts was very quiet. Some people were reading, but it was not as packed as the library of a comprehensive university.

Jiang Zhe found a high-definition album of Western classical sketches and an album specifically featuring Michelangelo's works.

He found a seat in the reading area, opened the album, and began to collect the works one by one according to the system prompts.
