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

Chapter 236, Selection Results, New Goals Released by the System

The first class of the new semester.

Jiang Zhe arrived at the classroom early and saw some classmates eating breakfast or chatting in the classroom. He greeted a few familiar classmates and found a seat to sit down.

The classmates in the large class came from different majors. Some of them were familiar to me, some were just familiar by appearance, and some never spoke to me from beginning to end.

When the class started, Jiang Zhe listened to the lecture and occasionally took notes. He wrote very slowly, and recorded the key points of the teacher's lecture in his notes based on his memory.

Although I am not interested in the course content, the monthly rewards I receive are all accumulated bit by bit, so I must be serious in the process. In addition, taking notes seriously has another benefit - practicing calligraphy.

After acquiring traditional calligraphy skills, they cannot be directly applied to hard-tipped pen calligraphy. To infiltrate the techniques of small regular script and regular script in traditional calligraphy into the so-called simplified characters or standardized writing, one must also adapt to the new layout and tools such as pens, and the transformation process also requires a certain amount of practice.

During the break, Jiang Zhe was holding a cup of water and preparing to go to the water room. As soon as he left the classroom, he heard the system prompt sound.

He didn't know why he got the reminder, so he sat down in a place with few people.

Open the system and see the text on the system page:

As the new semester begins, please set a learning goal for the semester.

During this semester, start learning a new skill. The system will judge your learning process and results and issue corresponding rewards.

Learning objectives can be set by yourself within the range of options.

The options include: professional skills and knowledge and skills related to cultural courses.

As there were too many options, Jiang Zhe didn't want to make a hasty decision, so he immediately shut down the system, checked the time, and ran to get hot water.

With the start of the new semester, the school's internal atmosphere has quickly shifted to a tense and positive one. At the same time, the festive atmosphere is still strong in many units.

The door of an indoor gymnasium is still decorated with lights and lanterns. Various facilities inside the room have been moved to the corners, and more than a dozen large works are placed in order against the walls.

The staff arranged the evaluation committee seats and placed the writing tools and forms on the table in order.

The president of the Art Association and several presidents of painting associations, accompanied by a dozen judges, entered the gymnasium and took their seats at the judges' table.

Everyone waited for a while, and Minister Zong and several staff members came to the gymnasium and sat next to the judges' seats.

The president took the microphone and said to everyone: "Thank you, Minister Zong, colleagues from various departments, and all the expert judges for coming. Today, I would like to trouble you to conduct the first round of selection of a batch of works. There are a total of 16 works, including the works collectively created by our association and the submitted works. Please vote according to the requirements.

The voting is divided into three levels. Works that receive more than half of the recommendation votes are recommended for promotion; works that receive less than half of the recommendation votes are recommended for re-examination; works that receive less than two votes or even no votes are not recommended.

For the sake of fairness, these 16 works have no names, only numbers. In the table you see, numbers 1 to 16 correspond to the 16 works from left to right. After the selection begins, you can get closer and observe the works. "

After he explained the selection requirements, he invited Minister Zong to speak.

Minister Zong took the microphone and said: "This selection is to select the decoration works for our Binhai Hall. It is very important. In order to eliminate all interference factors, our staff has tried their best to cover the signatures of the works. I implore all judges not to be influenced by anything and cast your precious votes based on the requirements of being in line with the theme and being positive and in the principle of fairness and justice.

The results of our first round of voting will be reported to the relevant departments for a second round of selection. Therefore, your selection is very important.

Does anyone have any questions?"

A judge asked: "Minister Zong, I have read the selection criteria and requirements, and you also mentioned the theme. Some works show coastal scenery, and some Chinese paintings show traditional themes. For example, large-scale plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, do such works count as being in line with the theme?"

Minister Zong discussed with the president and others for a while and gave a reply: "Showing some traditional auspicious patterns and themes with positive meanings cannot be considered off-topic. Everyone can make their own judgment."

This answer made several judges feel like they were scratching an itch and they could only figure it out on their own.

The selection begins.

The judges observe the works and then vote. After the voting is over, the votes are counted and the results are announced on the spot.

The selection process will be recorded by notaries and staff throughout.

The counting of votes ends and the counting of votes begins.

The bidding results were displayed on a white board.

Four works received more than half of the recommendation votes and were recommended for promotion.

There were 7 works that received three to seven recommendation votes, and works received only one or two votes, or even no votes at all.

After the results were announced, the judges expressed no objection to the results.

After many judges signed, they left.

Minister Zong, the association's president and others saw the judges off and returned to the venue.

Staff are organizing procedural materials.

Minister Zong's eyes swept across all the works and stopped on an oil painting. He pondered secretly, he had already given a heads-up, but this painting still managed to get six votes. But, so what? Even if it entered the second tier, there was no hope.

"Minister Zong, please take a look at the materials." The president of the Art Association interrupted Minister Zong's thoughts.

Minister Zong read the materials and signed his name. Others signed one after another, and the results and materials were quickly reported to the higher authorities.

……

The secretary took a pile of documents and went into Director Qu's office to report and ask for instructions. He handed the last document to Director Qu. "This is a request for selecting works to be sent to the Binhai Hall."

Director Qu took a look and said, "Deputy Director Yu will take the lead in handling this matter."

……

Jiang Zhe and Chen Yan took a walk after dinner and returned to their dormitory.

There was only Du Xin in the dormitory.

"Brother Du, why are you alone here?" Jiang Zhe walked to the seat and asked with a smile.

Du Xin put down the novel in his hand and asked: "Did they all go to look for their female classmates?"

Jiang Zhe teased: "Why, are you envious too?"

Du Xin said: "I'm not envious. When you get married and have children, you will understand."

Jiang Zhe said: "You should be passionate about life. Look at Associate Professor Zhang in our school. He is more than ten years older than you and got married again."

Du Xin knew this interesting story in the school. "I heard that her husband is much older than her and has a high position."

The conversation between the two people soon turned to various gossips.

After finishing the chat, Jiang Zhe opened the system and wanted to study the semester goals and related requirements proposed by the system.

However, he saw new text on the previous task page: "You chose to follow your inner thoughts in the previous task selection. Now, the result of this choice has been initially reflected.

The association and relevant departments have selected the works. In both rounds of selection, you failed to enter the first tier of candidates. It is basically certain that you were not selected...

When Jiang Zhe saw this, he felt a little disappointed.

Although this is my own choice, the work is also my own careful creation.

He could only comfort himself that this was his own choice and that he had done his best. It was impossible to expect everything to go as he wished and be perfect.

Relax and read the prompt text below:

Faced with this situation, you can choose to submit the task now and get the previous reward; or you can continue to wait, and the matter may turn around, or you can look forward to the selection in the provincial capital.

Jiang Zhe always remembered that the work depicting the container terminal had not yet produced any results. Since there was still hope, he would continue to wait. He had already done 36 bows, so this one more bow would not make a difference.

He chose to continue waiting, closed the task page, and clicked on the learning goal.

The system lists many learning directions as an alternative range, but you need to set your own specific goals.

Based on his own interests and existing conditions, Jiang Zhe considered the knowledge and skills that he could learn from scratch.

He eliminated the cultural subjects and selected those in the professional skills category.

In order to consider it more carefully, he found a pen and paper and listed his preliminary selected goals.

The first is oil painting and watercolor. Even if it is the skill I am best at, I still have a lot of knowledge to learn.

Secondly, the flower and bird themes of traditional Chinese painting skills. There are some categories that can be learned from scratch, such as animals, plants, birds, aquatic animals, and insects. The freehand and meticulous brushwork techniques of these themes can all be used as goals.

In addition, seal carving can also be used as a learning goal.

Jiang Zhe wrote down his fourth goal on paper, printmaking. There were many categories to choose from in this category, and he listed woodcut printmaking as an alternative.

The fifth category is sculpture.

There are also some traditional folk art categories that you can choose from, such as jade carving, stone carving, bamboo, wood, ivory and horn carving, statues, New Year paintings, embroidery, ceramic crafts, purple sand crafts and so on.

Jiang Zhe thought for a moment and eliminated folk art from the list. After all, this goal was a semester-long study goal, and these arts required a lot of time to learn.

I still have three and a half years left in college, and every semester is very precious. I must concentrate on completing my main work and important goals.

He tried to include Chinese painting flower and bird themes into the system and tried to establish goals, but was unsuccessful.

You can break down the subject matter into smaller parts and establish your goals based on the subject matter of traditional Chinese painting animals.

He first cancelled his goal, and then tried to establish it through woodcuts and sculptures. The goal for woodcuts was established, but the goal for sculptures could not be established.

Jiang Zhe cancelled his goal and tried to establish it with watercolor and oil painting respectively, but it turned out that he could not establish it.

He really wanted to take this opportunity to improve his two best skills.

I have repeatedly subdivided watercolor skills but still cannot set a goal. I can only try to subdivide oil painting and then set a goal.

The goal is not achieved if we segment oil paintings according to the time of their development; nor if we segment them according to the nationality of the painters;

In the end, he subdivided them by genre and found that he could establish learning goals by targeting individuals of genres such as Baroque, Rococo, Classicism, Academicism, Romanticism, Realism, Photorealism, Impressionism, etc. that appeared after the Renaissance. However, he could not establish goals by targeting creative genres that were mainly based on subjective expression, such as Cubism, Abstractionism, etc.
