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

Chapter 129, Select Target, Good News, Start Simulation

The library is cool and quiet, with a faint scent of ink in the air. People who like reading will feel very comfortable in such an environment.

Jiang Zhe turned a page in the album and placed his left hand on the edge of the book, letting the system continue to collect the works. In order not to waste time, he would record the relevant information in the sketchbook.

In order to make his reading process look less strange, he tried to slow down as much as possible.

An hour later, he changed the picture album and continued collecting and reading.

When I feel tired of studying, I put my hands on the book, let the system automatically record the information, and then lean back in the chair to take a rest.

During the break, he noticed that nearly half of his classmates came to the library to borrow books.

Jiang Zhe took a quick look and saw that the students were borrowing different picture albums. Some were borrowing materials on Renaissance paintings, while others were borrowing works by other masters.

The system prompted that the data had been collected, and he then looked for information on Michelangelo's sculptures.

After asking the administrator, he learned that he could use a digital camera to take photos, so he took photos of some important works one by one to keep as archive. While taking photos, he secretly sighed that it was inconvenient without a smartphone.

Although the system suggested that he should collect Michelangelo's works and observe his creative process, Jiang Zhe did not rush to make a decision. He planned to continue looking for picture albums and collect as many masterpieces of Renaissance masters as possible to give himself more choices.

……

At the same time, in a large office at the Academy of Fine Arts, several teachers were reviewing manuscripts.

The college is going to publish a collection of excellent examination papers. Is that the purpose of publishing a book? You know.

A group of teachers were in charge of checking. One of them looked at the catalog and said to the teachers in the same group, "This student named Jiang Zhe has three works that were selected. Isn't that too much? Should we create some opportunities for other students?"

Another teacher said: "When selecting works, everyone is practicing. Now that the works are selected, we have to discuss them again."

Another person said: "Let the editor decide."

……

Jiang Zhe was studying in the library. He felt hungry and realized that it was almost lunch time.

Seeing that the system had collected enough information on Renaissance works, he returned the borrowed books and left the library.

As soon as I walked out of the library door, I was immediately surrounded by heat.

He went straight to the canteen and ordered two dishes and a portion of rice. Just as he found a seat and sat down, his cell phone rang.

When he saw it was Wang Zhen’s number, he pressed the answer button.

"Manager Wang?"

There was a smile in Wang Zhen's voice: "Jiang Zhe, I didn't disturb you, did I?"

"No, you say."

Wang Zhen said, "I have good news. The competition exhibition in Germany has ended. A collection organization wants to buy your award-winning work. The asking price is over 1 Euros. Are you willing to sell your work?"

Jiang Zhe thought the price was good, and he also understood that this might be an opportunity found by the system. "How much can I get?"

"There is no way to calculate it now. If you agree, let's negotiate the price. We will do our best to protect your interests. This is a good opportunity!" Wang Zhen tried to persuade.

"Okay, let's start talking. What do you need me to do?" Jiang Zhe agreed readily.

"As long as you agree, come to my place when you have time."

"Okay, I got it. I'll ask Lawyer Qin to help me with the formalities." After Jiang Zhe ended the call, he called Lawyer Qin again and asked her to help with the relevant formalities.

At this time, Chen Yan sent a text message asking where Jiang Zhe was.

Jiang Zhe replied and asked her to come to the canteen to find him.

Soon, Chen Yan came to the canteen and ran to Jiang Zhe: "That's too much. You didn't even wait for me."

Jiang Zhe said, "I don't know what time your get out of class ends and what you like to eat?" He handed his meal card to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan ordered two vegetarian dishes, selected two bottles of drinks, sat next to Jiang Zhe, and stuffed the meal card into his pocket.

Jiang Zhe asked, "Is this all you want to eat?"

Chen Yan ate in small bites: "You don't know, the students in my class are very restrained when eating. I plan to learn from them and not eat casually."

Jiang Zhe smiled and said, "Drinks have a higher sugar content."

"I don't care. What classes do you have?"

Jiang Zhe talked about his courses.

Chen Yan was surprised: "One painting takes a month?"

Jiang Zhe nodded. "Yes, it's fun to complete a sketch in a month. There will be more later. What classes do you have?"

"Common sense in clothing, yes, and maybe I need to learn design creativity. I feel that the modeling profession is not that simple." Chen Yan complained.

Jiang Zhe said: "Be content, your professional courses are already easy enough. Many students in our class are still confused and don't know how to draw."

Chen Yan said: "My head is about to explode when I think about what kind of creative ideas I want."

She looked at Jiang Zhe with a smile, trying to please him: "If I encounter someone who can't draw, can I ask you for help?"

Jiang Zhe said, "It depends on the time."

"How stingy."

More and more students come to the canteen to eat.

Jiang Zhe and Chen Yan felt that the surroundings were too noisy, so they quickly finished their meal and went for a walk on the campus. Chen Yan wanted to play for a while longer.

Jiang Zhe estimated the time and decided to go back for lunch.

Chen Yan had no choice but to ask Jiang Zhe to have dinner together.

Jiang Zhe returned to the dormitory, and his three roommates also came back one after another.

The four of them talked about their first classes. The first class for printmaking, art education and design majors was also sketching, but with a different focus.

Shao Hui and Gan Wenjie talked about the teacher's teaching style.

The two of them felt that they couldn't adapt to the teaching of the art college for the first time. For example, the teacher used too many colloquial words, and it didn't matter whether you understood it or not.

Du Xin had taught elementary school art for five years and could understand the difference in teaching. He explained to Shao Hui and the others that teachers in primary and secondary schools, including high schools, were afraid that students would not understand when teaching, so they tried to break down the courses into simple tasks and use language that students could understand. As university courses became more difficult, teachers could only use the language they thought was most effective.

After studying professional courses for a whole morning, although it was not as tiring as military training, in order to ensure energy for the afternoon, the four of them planned to take a nap.

Jiang Zhe closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly.

He planned to conserve his energy and make a choice when he was at his best.

During lunch break, he slept soundly.

Jiang Zhe opened his eyes when he heard the noises his roommates made when they went to the ground.

Several roommates moved quickly and were about to go out. When they saw Jiang Zhe walking down the stairs slowly, they asked, "Jiang Zhe, are you in a hurry to go to class?"

Jiang Zhe said, "Don't worry, think about how to paint, and then go to the studio."

"Let's go first."

The dormitory became quiet.

Jiang Zhe made himself a cup of tea, sat on a chair, and began to think about which master he should choose as the target of simulation learning.

At present, he thinks the more suitable choices are: Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and famous artists from the Repin Academy of Fine Arts.

The masters of the Renaissance need no explanation. The reason why the famous artists of the Repin Academy of Fine Arts are also included in the selection is that some teachers of the oil painting major of the Art Academy once studied there.

If I show the same style in my paintings, it may be easier to be accepted.

Jiang Zhe was unable to make a decision for a moment, so he slowly sipped the tea.

The bitterness and fragrance of tea seem to calm people's hearts.

After I calmed down, I realized that my previous considerations were a bit too eager for quick success or too tempting to please others. I was influenced by the system's requirements and cared too much about this success.

Now that I think about it, each of the three simulation opportunities is very precious and I must arrange the best for learning.

Jiang Zhe feels that he should take a long-term view. Even if he cannot keep his work in school this time, with the help of the system, future development will be very good. He does not need to care about the success or failure of a particular time.

In addition, as long as you choose the best goal to study, I believe that the pursuit of beauty will still resonate.

Thinking of this, he began to consider the problem starting from this statue.

In recent decades, domestic painters have created many sketches of this plaster statue, some of which are influential.

Since you want to paint, you must set a goal and strive to reach the level of those influential works.

If you want to reach a high level while also creating something new, your best option is to learn from the original artist of the statue.

He calmly weighed the pros and cons and chose Michelangelo as the target of imitation learning.

Jiang Zhe no longer hesitated, opened the system, and found the simulated learning page.

Select Michelangelo and click Start.

A holographic surround image appeared before his eyes.

Simulated image of the system, starting with the statue of David.

The prototype of David was taken from mythology. Before Michelangelo created the image of David, the image of David that people were familiar with was that of a wise old man (the King of Spades in playing cards).

In August 1501, Michelangelo was commissioned to carve a huge piece of marble into a statue. After several years of seclusion and hard work, he finally awakened a heroic boy from the sleeping stone.

Jiang Zhe watched the sculpture-making process. Although he knew that this was an image simulated by the system and would deviate from reality, he was still fascinated.

The chiseled lines and structures are exaggerated and very imaginative; all the details of the face are mobilized, and the direction of the hair and eyes have a sacred beauty and a kind of majesty that seems to have been smashed into shape.

When the simulated David statue was almost completed, Jiang Zhe chose to pause.

The simulation video I just watched contains a lot of information that needs to be digested. If you watch it in a hurry, it will inevitably waste this opportunity.

He felt the majestic life force in the sculpture and seemed to touch a feeling.

Jiang Zhe remembered this feeling, quickly went to the studio, chose a good position, fixed the drawing paper, and adjusted his mood.

He closed his eyes, turned on the system, and looked at the paused images on the screen, repeatedly recalling the images he had just watched, and recaptured the feeling of majestic beauty.

Jiang Zhe opened his eyes, picked up a pencil, and decisively drew the first stroke on the paper. The force of this stroke was very light, but the movement and posture vaguely matched the rhythm of Michelangelo chiseling marble.
