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

Chapter 203, Ferry Terminal, The Boy Who Attracts Attention

Jiang Zhe looked through the left car window at the approaching dock.

The students around also looked out the window curiously.

The staff in charge of guiding everyone explained that today they would first take a ferry to the pier across the sea, and then visit the largest cargo terminal in Binhai.

People in Binhai know about the ferry terminal and the cargo terminal, but many people just pass by and have no chance to take a boat or enter the terminal. Secondly, there is a part near the cargo terminal that cannot be entered or exited casually, and identity verification is required. Therefore, the students are very excited.

The vehicle entered the dock parking lot, and people got off the vehicle one after another, carrying their painting supplies.

The staff led everyone to take the ferry and explained the history and changes of the pier along the way.

At this time, several more buses arrived at the parking lot.

Several groups of people got off the bus and joined the tour.

Jiang Zhe saw several teachers from the college greeting the leader of the new team.

He asked Teacher Hu and learned that some teachers and students from the Art Department of Binhai University also came to participate in this event.

Led by their teacher, students from Binhai University lined up to wait for the ferry. The teams from the two schools were almost side by side.

As students studying painting, we all knew the purpose of this sketching activity and understood that our works would be compared after the activity. Therefore, after meeting each other, it was inevitable that we would have the intention to compete secretly.

Because they had made arrangements in advance, the visiting team boarded the ship smoothly.

Jiang Zhe followed the team through the passage to the shore and saw the ship they were going to take today. He didn't know the tonnage of the ship, but only when he observed the ship up close could he truly feel its hugeness and grandeur.

The students who were taking the boat for the first time couldn't wait any longer.

Jiang Zhe followed the tour group and stepped onto the deck of the ship. He was surrounded by the voices of classmates and members talking and chatting.

The staff member who led them on the tour once again explained the safety matters on the ship and then assigned cabins to everyone.

The ferry has three large cabins with rows of lounge chairs for passengers to rest.

The visiting team can move around in the three-story cabin. Many people choose to sit by the window for easy observation.

Older members were unwilling to climb the stairs and chose to rest in the cabins above the deck.

Jiang Zhe and several classmates climbed up to the top level of the cabin, found a relatively spacious spot to sit down, and waited for the boat to depart.

Next to their seats, there were windows in two directions, through which they could see the pier and the sea in the other direction.

"Let's take a group photo here." Fu Min's suggestion was accepted by everyone. Jiang Zhe invited Teacher Hu and a staff member to help take photos of himself and his familiar classmates.

After taking photos from different angles, other members came to the upper cabin one after another. Students from Binhai University also came here, and the cabin gradually became crowded.

Teacher Hu quietly reminded the students: "Today, we are participating in activities with students from other schools. We must pay attention to our personal qualities. People who come to participate in the activities today come from all walks of life. Our every move will be compared. We are the face of the school."

The students nodded silently to show that they understood.

A broadcast sounded in the cabin, announcing that the ship was about to set sail.

The students took their respective positions, and Jiang Zhe seized the opportunity to take photos of the boarding dock from a high vantage point.

Looking at the pier from this position is a special angle.

The buildings of the pier unfold before your eyes. As your sight extends into the distance, the rows of buildings and clumps of green trees are scattered in an orderly manner on the gradually rising terrain.

In this scene, there are old buildings from decades ago, as well as new buildings that have not yet been completed; there are narrow alleys made of stones, as well as wide roads paved with asphalt. The symbols left behind from different periods make up the city's unique side.

Jiang Zhe thought about the theme of this field trip and felt that such a scene might be a good entry point.

"Woo~Woo~" the whistle sounded.

The ferry slowly left the dock.

Like many of his classmates, Jiang Zhe was riding a ship for the first time. The ship was stable, but still rocked, and it took some time to get used to it.

After he got used to the shaking rhythm, he looked at the pier which was getting farther and farther away, and he had an illusion that the buildings around the pier seemed to be floating on the sea.

This illusion has a special kind of beauty.

He took pictures with his camera, but still felt it was not enough, so he took out his sketchbook and recorded the feeling through painting.

In order to reflect the feeling just now, he made bold changes in the composition and layout.

Seeing Jiang Zhe start to paint, many students consciously or unconsciously took out their sketchbooks.

Teacher Hu and several other teachers saw this scene and smiled at each other.

Students from Binhai University's Department of Art were still chatting, most of the association's members were chatting or resting, only my students were painting.

The teachers suddenly felt a sense of pride. Jiang Zhe's students did not disappoint them.

They stood up and walked around one after another, patrolling and tutoring the students as usual.

The actions of the art academy students attracted the attention of many painters.

When the team leader from Binhai University's Art Department saw this scene, he quietly arranged for his colleagues to urge the students to start creating, and he went down the stairs to the next cabin.

He saw Vice President Qi, several directors, and several teachers from the School of Art chatting, and joined in without saying a word.

When he heard that a director in charge of this event hoped to collect more photos and information about the visit, he immediately proposed: "Today, we are participating in the event with students from sister schools. First of all, we want to thank the association for creating this opportunity for us. The students are also very enthusiastic. When we arrive at the visiting location, we can organize students to create together. At that time, please give us guidance and add some detailed information." Professor Qin and the leading teacher of our school looked at each other and expressed their agreement.

Several people from the Art Association also agreed with this idea.

This matter was settled.

"Jiang Zhe, what do you think of my painting?" Lan Xin showed her sketch to Jiang Zhe.

Lan Xin's painting is based on the sea, with a vague port silhouette in the distance. The modeling is accurate, but it lacks some content.

He took out a small box of colored chalks: "Try to fill in the color with the colored chalks."

Lan Xin saw the words on the box of toner were obviously not in English, so she did not take it.

Jiang Zhe said, "Give it a try. I've already used this box of tools. Use toner and try to make the picture more detailed."

Fu Min came over and asked: "Can I use it?" She was also very curious about the imported color powder.

"Okay." Jiang Zhe is not stingy in this regard.

Students help each other, making the painting atmosphere more harmonious.

The ship arrived at the port safely.

Jiang Zhe has already used this time to draw several sketches. Several detailed sketches gave him some confidence in completing the task.

After packing up their things, everyone lined up to get off the boat.

The staff led the tour group through the port's passenger area and into the cargo area.

The security here is very strict and everyone has to register their identity before entering.

During the visit, the staff explained the function of the cargo terminal. It is not only used for cargo transportation, but also for visiting warships, which have stopped here.

Everyone came to a wide platform.

The platform is several stories high and is just enough to see most of the port.

Jiang Zhe walked to the handrail and looked around. There were several large ships moored in the busy port, and gantry cranes and port-specific cranes were in operation.

In the port transshipment area, countless containers are neatly arranged, and looking down from a high place they look like small grids.

Jiang Zhe was shocked by the scene before him.

The layout and elements here are full of industrial beauty, and the port extends into the distance, seemingly endless.

The sunshine at 3 o'clock in the afternoon gives bright colors to the clouds in the sky, the sparkling sea, and the neat and busy port.

The natural beauty and industrial grandeur form a sharp contrast.

Jiang Zhe took photos to record the scene in front of him. He looked at the photos in the camera memory and felt that they were not expressive enough, so he took out the watercolor tools and prepared to sketch.

He brought a simple watercolor book and watercolor tools suitable for outdoor creation. He propped the watercolor book on the armrest, made a quick draft with a pencil, and then began to depict with colors.

Lan Xin and the others didn't wait for the teacher to urge them. They found their favorite angles and started sketching.

When the staff of the Art Association saw this, they asked Professor Qin, "Are your students planning to sketch here?"

Professor Qin saw that the students started sketching without any urging and was in a good mood: "The scenery here is nice and unique, so there is no need to make special arrangements."

When the teacher in charge of the team from Binhai University saw this, he immediately arranged for his students to start sketching.

Some members of the Art Association also began to look for locations to prepare for sketching.

Of course, there are also many people who come here just to have fun, strolling around or sitting down to rest.

Some teachers patrolled and guided the students, while other teachers sketched with the students.

The staff responsible for taking photos followed the members and took pictures of them while they were sketching.

After Jiang Zhe started sketching, he quickly got into the mood.

In his paintings, the direction of the dock and the placement of containers have become elements that express space.

He quickly finished a painting, and after examining the painting, he found that the colors of the painting were too close to reality. So, in the second painting, he changed the colors and composition to highlight the grandeur of the pier and use colors to reflect the changes in light.

Jiang Zhe was quite satisfied with the second painting, but felt that there was still room for exploration, so he started to paint the third one.

Before he knew it, many people had gathered behind him to watch him paint.

When the teacher in charge of Binhai University saw that some students' works had taken shape, he invited the staff responsible for recording to take photos.

The staff member came to the place where the students were sketching and noticed a very interesting scene.

There were many people watching a boy's work, including several veteran painters.

The boy remained calm while sketching in front of many people.

The staff found a good angle and captured this scene.
