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

Chapter 237, Scope of Learning Objectives, Award-Winning News

There are numerous oil painting schools and artists that can be used as learning targets. Faced with multiple choices, Jiang Zhe is in a dilemma.

In each option, there is a painter he particularly likes.

Because it was difficult to choose, he could only put the problem aside for the time being. Anyway, the system didn't require him to make a choice today.

Thursday, the first professional class of this semester.

Jiang Zhe came to the studio with drawing paper and tools.

Several students have already started preparing.

Today we have a sketching class, so the students are busy mounting their own drawing papers on the drawing board.

Jiang Zhe applied glue on the cut strips of newspaper, stuck them on the four sides of the drawing paper, and waited for the paper to dry naturally.

Fu Min is short and has some difficulty moving the large drawing board.

She saw Jiang Zhe quickly finish the preparations, so she asked for help: "Jiang Zhe, help me."

Jiang Zhe agreed and walked to the opposite side of Fu Min. Together they fixed the drawing paper on the drawing board and then taped the four sides. After they were done, it was not yet time for class, so they found a drawing stool and sat down, chatting while waiting.

"Have you been to the gallery recently?" Jiang Zhe asked.

Fu Min said, "I just finished the custom painting I have. Manager Wang said that we can go there if we have time on the weekend. However, after school starts, I can't guarantee that I will have time. After all, I still have to focus on the school."

Jiang Zhe nodded: "Yes, I can't delay my school studies just to make money."

A fat male teacher wearing an old down jacket walked into the classroom. After the students sat down, he introduced himself as Zeng, the main lecturer of this art structure anatomy course.

Teacher Zeng asked the boys and the class monitor to bring the teaching aids - character structure models.

After arranging the teaching aids and dividing the students into groups, the teacher began to explain the knowledge of artistic structure.

This course is designed to allow students to understand and remember the muscle tissue and bone characteristics of people of different ages and how to apply them in painting.

After assigning homework and explaining the course requirements, Teacher Zeng also asked students that in addition to completing a formal assignment, they should draw sketches of different structures from different angles to deepen their understanding.

The students did not rush to start drawing the final draft, but instead used the sketching method to practice.

A day passed quickly and Teacher Zeng came to the studio again.

The students took their sketches and asked the teacher for guidance.

Jiang Zhe did not join in the fun. He only went to see Teacher Zeng with his work after most of his classmates had left.

Teacher Zeng looked through the sketches and occasionally pointed out the problems in them.

After looking at the last one, he said to Jiang Zhe, "I have seen your oil paintings, especially the landscapes selected for the Marina Hall. In the future, do you want to focus on creating figures or landscapes?"

Jiang Zhe said: "I haven't thought about it, and I don't want to fix my creative direction."

"Yes, don't limit yourself. Although the school's arrangement has no bias towards the subject matter, you should be able to see that the subject matter of the characters is still the most important.

Whether it’s a single portrait or a group or scene painting, the figure is important.”

Jiang Zhe understood that Teacher Zeng's advice was for him to pay attention to structure and anatomy classes.

……

After dinner, he returned to the dormitory, looked through the picture album, and thought about which learning goal he should choose.

He initially selected Baroque art, Neoclassicism and Academicism.

The reason why Baroque painting is listed as an alternative is that its artistic language is strong, exaggerated, dynamic, and flashy, and its representative figures are Rubens and his apprentice. From this source, we can study the art of Michelangelo during the Renaissance. I have studied Michelangelo's sketches, so I can form a coherent study.

Classicism and academicism are listed as alternatives because classicism is based on respecting the aesthetic principles of ancient Greece, with a solemn, noble and upward momentum, and exquisite techniques, which is also the principle of academicism. Choosing this goal, you can learn the art of painters such as Raphael, Ingres, and Bouguereau. This is also a coherent learning direction.

Jiang Zhe was looking through the information and comparing it when his phone started vibrating.

Wang Zhen sent a text message asking if it was convenient to talk.

Jiang Zhe picked up his cell phone, walked outside the dormitory building, and dialed Wang Zhen's number.

"Manager Wang, do you have any instructions?" Wang Zhen's happy laughter came from the phone first: "Jiang Zhe, congratulations! I have two good news. Guess?"

Jiang Zhe pondered for a moment and asked, "Was your work awarded?"

Wang Zhen said: "Congratulations, you guessed it right, and both of your works won awards!"

"Two works won awards?!" Jiang Zhe was refreshed, and his fatigue instantly disappeared. "Tell me the details?"

Wang Zhen said: "The landscape painting you created won the bronze medal in the group competition, and a figure painting also won the silver medal!"

When Jiang Zhe heard the exact news, his heartbeat quickened, and he felt a little disappointed: "What about the other painting? How about the works of my classmates?"

Wang Zhen said, "Your other work didn't win the prize, and Fu Min and the others' works either didn't make the shortlist, or those that did didn't win the prize."

Jiang Zhe asked again: "Which of my works did not win an award?"

"Standing Portrait."

Jiang Zhe understood that the oil painting with Xu Ruyi as the model did not win the award.

Wang Zhen heard Jiang Zhe's faint "oh" and said, "Why are you still not happy? Two awards! This is not easy! You know, the chance of winning is very low, and there are not many domestic painters who win awards. The results of your classmates are normal. You are already very different, don't be ungrateful for what you have."

She spoke rapidly, obviously agitated.

Jiang Zhe said: "I'm not unhappy, I'm just thinking about what's next. Also, how should you tell my classmates?"

Wang Zhen reminded him and made him realize that with this achievement, what was there to be disappointed about?

"Don't worry, I know how to inform them. This result is not surprising. Your classmates are not that fragile.

I will arrange the follow-up matters. The bonus will be returned soon. If someone wants to buy your three works during the exhibition, I will discuss it with them first. If the price is right, I will ask for your opinion in time. "

"I understand, thank you."

"You're welcome. Enjoy the joy of harvest."

Jiang Zhe hung up the phone and began to pace slowly in the open space behind the dormitory.

He appeared calm on the surface, but the turmoil in his heart was hard to suppress.

Although it’s not the first time I’ve won the award, the timing is fortuitous.

The works he concentrated on creating encountered setbacks, which made him feel a little disappointed. This time, winning the award was more like a proof of himself, which made him wipe away the unhappiness in his heart and feel proud.

The previous bitterness finally turned into sweetness after patience and hard work.

He opened the system, found the previous challenge task, and saw that the task gave a new prompt. The competition bonus, that is, the task reward, had been issued.

Understood.

Jiang Zhe calmed himself down and walked back to the dormitory as if nothing had happened.

There is no need to publicize the prize money and award information since you haven't received it yet.

However, word spread quickly.

After school on Friday, Teacher Hu came to find Jiang Zhe and told him that Professor Qin asked him to go to his office.

On the way to the office, Jiang Zhe asked, "Teacher Hu, do you know why Professor Qin came to see me?"

Teacher Hu asked, "Good news. Did you win an award?"

Jiang Zhe understood: "The news spread so quickly?"

Teacher Hu said, "The gallery that helped you win the award has already started promoting it. I guess Professor Qin has heard the news. Why don't you promote it yourself? You have such a good weapon, but you don't even use it."

Jiang Zhe said: "I just got the news yesterday. The information has not been retrieved yet. There is no need to rush to publicize it. Besides, it is only a silver and bronze award."

Teacher Hu smiled and said, "You are quite cautious, but you said something very irritating. And it's just a silver and bronze medal. Do you know that it is not easy to win such an award once?"
