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

Chapter 175, Works published in newspapers, new learning
On Sunday night, Jiang Zhe and his classmates returned to the Binhai Art College safely.

As the group stepped into the school gate, they instantly returned to the state of studying at school. Several students lamented that the two-day study abroad was too short.

Teacher Hu encouraged the students that if they liked this kind of learning, there would be many opportunities in the future. She asked the students to go back and rest so as not to delay tomorrow's class.

Her words made Jiang Zhe think.

This study trip was a valuable opportunity for me to observe the creation of famous artists. If I read more original works by famous artists, I might get more similar opportunities.

As he walked towards the dormitory, he had already decided that he would try to visit more exhibitions in the future.

When he returned to the dormitory, his three roommates had not yet rested. He took out the snacks he brought back from the provincial capital to share with his roommates, and also talked about the interesting things that happened during his outing.

At the same time, some activities in the provincial capital have just reached their climax.

Bi Puguang and a few friends diligently accompanied a guest, finishing the entertainment in the hotel and moving to a more upscale consumption place.

Several people were enjoying the massage while flattering the distinguished guest. The knowledge levels of these people were different, so the words they used to flatter him were different. Some said that the distinguished guest had a sharp style of writing, like Huang Zhong Da Lu, while others said that the distinguished guest was upright and upright, like Taishan Beidou. Regardless of whether it was reliable or not, as long as it was good words, they would use them all.

The staff who were serving them, who were considered to be experienced, also found these words extremely corny, whereas the distinguished guests who were being flattered found them very enjoyable to hear.

Bi Puguang and a few friends worked together to gradually turn the topic to print media publicity.

As soon as the topic turned to business, the guest who was previously enjoying himself immediately stopped talking.

He opened his eyes and looked at the staff. "Girl, use some strength."

The staff member's forehead was already covered with sweat, and he had no choice but to work harder.

The customer closed his eyes and continued to enjoy the service. Bi Puguang looked at the customer's face, which was as thin as a stick, and then looked at a friend.

His friend gave him a look.

Bi Puguang understood what he meant and wanted to take real action...

Like many predators, many choose to carry out activities at night. Of course, the roles of predator and prey can be reversed.

On Monday noon, Jiang Zhe and Chen Yan had lunch in the cafeteria.

I came back late last night, and the two of them only talked on the phone. When they met today, Chen Yan asked about Jiang Zhe's experience outside, no matter how big or small.

While taking a walk after dinner, Jiang Zhe's cell phone started vibrating.

He saw that it was Wang Zhen's number and thought she was going to talk about that matter again. Although he didn't want to talk about it, he couldn't help but answer the phone.

He motioned for Chen Yan not to speak, then pressed the answer button: "Hello, Manager Wang."

Chen Yan wanted to listen to their conversation, so she deliberately stayed close to Jiang Zhe.

"Jiang Zhe, is it convenient to talk?"

"You say." Jiang Zhe felt Chen Yan getting closer, so he simply put his left arm around her and began to twist his fingers subconsciously.

"There's good news." Wang Zhen's voice was filled with excitement. "A newspaper in the provincial capital used half a page to report on the annual art exhibition. Seven works were selected for the report, and your work was among them."

"Really? The awards haven't been announced yet, but the reporting has already started?" Jiang Zhe was happy and exerted force with his fingers.

Chen Yan felt pain and protested silently.

Wang Zhen said: "Reporting on the situation and significance of the exhibition does not involve the award. Having this will definitely be beneficial to your work and will be a huge boost when the award is awarded."

"Oh, that's good."

She felt that Jiang Zhe's tone was a little strange: "What's wrong with you? Did you know about this a long time ago?"

Jiang Zhe understood what Wang Zhen meant and could only explain: "If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't know about this." Wang Zhen believed in her own judgment. If no one said hello, why would your work appear in the report? She felt that Jiang Zhe might not be willing to talk about this.

"Anyway, this is great news. With this foundation, your work will have an advantage in the evaluation of the college students' joint calligraphy and painting exhibition. I heard that the judges are the same group of people."

She described in detail what she knew and said that she would mail the relevant newspapers back to Jiang Zhe as a souvenir.

After the call ended, Jiang Zhe and Chen Yan had a good time because of what they had just done.

He comforted Chen Yan, sent her back to the dormitory, and sent a text message to Sister Liao.

Sister Liao called soon. "Jiang Zhe, I saw the text message. That incident has nothing to do with me, and I didn't speak for you. What I heard is that several departments have requirements for the direction of publicity. Your work shows the changes and development of the city, and has advantages in terms of subject matter."

Jiang Zhe was puzzled: "I see that there are many works that also express current life."

Sister Liao explained: "Different positions give people different perspectives on issues. Your work is not just a simple eulogy. So, the fact that your work was published in print media is a result of both your strength and luck. Don't let your imagination run wild."

Jiang Zhe finally resolved his doubts after listening to Sister Liao's words. The two chatted for a long time before ending the call.

He bought some food, went back to the dormitory, and played with the little black cat.

The black cat has become familiar with the dormitory and doesn't seem to want to escape.

As Jiang Zhe watched the black cat eating, he remembered that the system had reminded him that he had a special opportunity when Yuan Xiaohan completed his mission.

He clicked on the system and found that there was no display or response. He guessed that perhaps the work being published in print media was not the opportunity the system referred to.

If you can't figure out something, just let it go.

On Thursday, new professional courses for the major began.

This course is about comprehensive materials and modern painting. The lecturer is an associate professor of oil painting.

In the first class, the teacher started with the world art of the 20th century and continued to talk about the current art trends, allowing students to understand modern painting and inspiring their creative ideas.

These works left the students confused.

You can choose the homework, topics and creative techniques assigned by the teacher.

Jiang Zhe was troubled by such a topic because he did not understand some modern paintings.

In order to complete his homework, he had to go to the library to read books and look for inspiration.

He began his study of Post-Impressionist works and gradually expanded his scope of study to include Cubism, Pop Art, Expressionism, Photorealism, and Abstractionism.

Jiang Zhe also read some research articles. He agrees with one view. The various art schools that emerged in the 20th century were influenced by modernism and postmodernism, opposing traditional realistic art and pursuing innovation. These new art schools belong to experimental art. At the same time, traditional realistic painting has not disappeared.

Although he understood some theories, Jiang Zhe still couldn't understand some creations.

For example, he saw Pop Art – some of Andy Warhol’s work and related studies.

The painter himself admitted that his work is not original, but is a direct copy of popular commercial symbols in society (celebrity posters, commercial advertisements), with the main theme being that as long as I am not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

Although some people commented that Pop Art breaks the boundary between popular and elegant and praises the beauty of the ordinary.

However, Jiang Zhe always faced his true thoughts and did not follow the crowd.

Of course, studying these works is not without benefit. Seeing the behavior of some painters, Jiang Zhe feels that his own psychological quality also needs to be enhanced.
