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

Chapter 385, semester task settlement, lottery, creative ideas
Jiang Zhe parked his car in the school parking lot.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Chen Yan looked at the busy road ahead and murmured, "Winter vacation is over so quickly. I haven't rested enough."

Jiang Zhe said: "Even if school starts, your major courses won't be too tiring. Come on, I'll take you to the dormitory."

The two got out of the car.

Chen Yan brought two suitcases from home.

Jiang Zhe helped Chen Yan deliver the belongings to the dormitory, and then went to gather in class.

Classroom.

Some students have arrived early.

Some students just rushed back from home and brought some snacks to share with their classmates.

"Jiang Zhe, come and try the rice cake, it's really delicious." Mou Xing greeted Jiang Zhe.

"Thank you." Jiang Zhe greeted several classmates. Many of them hadn't seen each other for nearly a month, so they had a lot to talk about.

8 o'clock in the morning.

Teacher Hu came to the classroom, saw that all the students were present, exchanged a few brief greetings, and then began to announce the course schedule for this semester.

While recording his professional course schedule, Jiang Zhe was thinking about his own creations.

There are four professional courses in this semester. Figure Sketching, Color (Oil Painting Language) and Creation, and Art Appreciation. Except for Art Appreciation, the other courses basically take four weeks.

Jiang Zhe thought that if he did a good job in his professional coursework, he would be able to produce a number of good works. If he added in the rest of his time to practice, he should be able to produce a number of good works.

After Teacher Hu made the arrangements, he asked the class monitor to bring new books and distribute them.

She added that the requirements for the new semester are: "This semester, in addition to the school's course schedule, everyone should also seize the time to think about their own creations.

As usual, our school will organize students to participate in the national art exhibition. The first step is the provincial and municipal selection. From now on, you only have one month to prepare. While studying your professional courses, try to participate in this selection as much as possible. "

When hearing Teacher Hu's arrangement, some people's eyes lit up, while others had blank expressions.

At this stage, there is already a gap in the learning situation between students. Students who have always been at the bottom of their majors are inevitably lacking in confidence when facing such selections, so they don't take such news seriously.

Some students who think they are capable of competing have already begun to consider the direction of their own creations.

After Teacher Hu confirmed that there was no problem with the students, he announced the disbandment of the class.

When Jiang Zhe left, Teacher Hu told him that he had received a scholarship from the school last semester.

After expressing his gratitude to Teacher Hu, Jiang Zhe drove back to the studio by himself.

He first opened the system, and the page showed that the study tasks for the previous semester could be submitted.

Click Submit.

Task tips:

During your study last semester, you completed more than three masterpieces and more than six excellent works. You completed a masterpiece of the level of being passed down from generation to generation and received a college scholarship.

The comprehensive score assessment reached excellent.

You can get reward funds, 15 yuan.

One chance to draw randomly.

Jiang Zhe chose to accumulate funds and then clicked on the lottery.

A lottery wheel appeared on the page.

The turntable pointer began to rotate, gradually slowed down, and stopped on a gift box.

Jiang Zhe was delighted when he saw the gift box.

This kind of gift box should be a special and rare gift box.

The gift box exploded, and the page showed: You have drawn a special attribute - agility attribute, which increased by 10%.

Jiang Zhe clicked to receive it, and a cool feeling spread through his body.

He moved his fingers, simulating the state of painting, and felt the changes in properties and the differences they brought.

In addition to making your movements more coordinated, improving your agility attributes also brings another benefit.

When painting, the hands are more flexible and can accurately express what is in mind.

During the process of painting or making, many people feel that their hands are clumsy or that their hands and eyes are not coordinated.

Besides the need for practice, some people are naturally deft and some are a little clumsy.

This attribute improvement has increased his dexterity and agility, which naturally affects the dexterity of his hands as well.

With the improvement of basic attributes, there is a fundamental promotion for both painting and production.

With this attribute, Jiang Zhe has the confidence to make breakthroughs in techniques through his own efforts and create works with higher technical skills and stronger aesthetics.

This upgrade comes at the right time.

He shut down the system and first checked the requirements of the Venice Biennale and the awards from previous years.

He has been directly involved in the final selection process.

Biennales can generally be divided into two categories: invitation (shortlisted) exhibitions and parallel exhibitions.

The shortlisted exhibition is the organizer of the Venice Biennale, which will select a number of artists to participate in the exhibition and display them. Usually, they need to send a resume of their works, detailed description of their works, etc.

Secondly, some art organizations and companies have long-term contact with the Venice Biennale and will also recommend artists.

Jiang Zhe estimates that many institutions, galleries and companies will strive to carry out such operations.

The Biennale also has national pavilions, each with a different management organization, and artists need to enter the country's highest art class to enter. This is the so-called invitational shortlisted exhibition, which can also be understood as an official exhibition.

Parallel exhibitions can be understood as exhibitions outside the official Venice Biennale. Many people did not enter the shortlisted exhibitions, but they would spend money to rent galleries. This kind of exhibition is relatively easy, but it costs more.

In Jiang Zhe's opinion, it would be a bit embarrassing to spend money to participate in such an exhibition.

His thinking on creation has taken two directions. The first is to show unique skills or aesthetics in the realistic direction which he is best at.

Another direction is to show uniqueness in terms of subject matter and expression.

These two directions are: one is to continue expertise, and the other is to achieve a certain degree of innovation.

Jiang Zhe opened the system again and retrieved the information recently collected from the United States from the database, paying special attention to some works that he had not paid attention to before, hoping to find inspiration.

When he saw a painting depicting a gathering of painters, he thought of the subject he had considered before.

The scene of himself and Annie chatting in the gallery appeared before his eyes again.

He thought that he had only beautified these scenes before, but in fact, he could completely recreate them.

He took out a pen and paper and began to create a draft in the form of a sketch.

In the conception, there were only two characters in this painting: himself and Anne.

The audience can see the easel and themselves behind it. On the left side of the picture, Anne is sitting on a chair with a cup of coffee in her hand. She is facing the audience in profile and facing the easel.

While perfecting his ideas, Jiang Zhe quickly drew a draft.

In order to make the picture richer, adjustments are made to the character proportions, movements, and environment.

The self in the painting is partially blocked by the easel. The audience can see that he is holding a brush wipe in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, and his eyes are observing Anne; Anne is sitting on a chair and seems to be distracted.

Jiang Zhe tried to use the furnishings in the gallery as much as possible, letting light pour into the space from the window behind him and Annie. Through the window, a little street view can be seen.

There is a painting hanging on the wall of the gallery.

Jiang Zhe intends to paint the works of the painters' gathering on a wall to create a picture-in-picture effect.

He finished the pencil draft and was quite satisfied with the result, so he immediately started to use watercolor to create the color draft.

Considering that this painting would eventually be rendered in oil, he chose to depict it with extremely delicate brushstrokes.

When inspiration comes, creation is particularly enjoyable...

The new semester begins.

On Wednesday afternoon, Jiang Zhe came to Professor Qin's office with four watercolor paintings.

Professor Qin saw the bag in Jiang Zhe's hand and asked, "A watercolor painting you created?"

Jiang Zhe replied, "I have drawn four watercolor drafts. Before I draw the final draft, please help me find the problems."

Professor Qin cleared out the easel.

Jiang Zhe took out his works one by one and arranged them.

The first two pictures were the ones that Wang Zhen had shown him, the third was the scene where he was painting Anne's portrait, and the fourth was the draft that had just been completed, showing Lan Xin busy at the noodle stall.

After looking at the first two paintings, Professor Qin said to Jiang Zhe: "These two paintings are good, but they obviously lack emotional investment."

Pointing to the third work, he asked, "Is this your imagination or a real scene?"

Jiang Zhe talked about the origin of the content of the work.

Professor Qin said: "Yes, the painting has soft tones, the atmosphere of the picture fits in very well with the gallery, and it also has a certain meaning." He keenly discovered the painting within a painting that Jiang Zhe arranged on the wall within the painting.

“Although it may sound a bit self-boasting, the quality of this painting is better than the previous two.”

He studied the fourth painting carefully.

In the painting, the noodle stall is not big, with only two people. Lan Xin is facing the audience, and because she is collecting money, her head is slightly lowered, but her appearance can be seen clearly. There is also a woman with her back to the audience in the painting. Although her face cannot be seen, it can be seen from the back that she is a middle-aged person.

On the left side of the picture, you can see the window glass of the stall, and the faces of several customers are vaguely reflected on the glass.

Various kinds of pasta are displayed in the stall display area. In the background of Lan Xin, which is behind the stall, it seems that someone is busy, but because of the steam rising from the pasta steamer, this part appears hazy.

The delicate depiction of the characters’ faces and scenes makes the painting appear full of life.

Professor Qin watched it for a long time before saying, "I like this painting the most. There is nothing wrong with the composition, color tone, and shape.

The previous pictures also have good modeling quality, but what is most worth appreciating in this painting is the breath of life.

The girl's face is rosy, her movements are very quick, and there is some sweat on her forehead, which shows that she is in a working state.

The noodles are displayed realistically in the stalls. Some places are empty, while others are full.

The water vapor behind is used very skillfully, making the picture seem both real and unreal.

What I said is my personal opinion. You can take these two——"

He pointed to the gallery and the pastry stall and said, "Make it a final draft and keep it in this style."

"I understand. Thank you, teacher." Jiang Zhe replied.

Professor Qin asked, "Did Teacher Hu tell you about the selection of works?"

Jiang Zhe nodded.

"What do you think?"

Jiang Zhe said to me: "There are two ideas. One direction is to push the realistic techniques forward one step further based on the predecessors and make them as perfect as possible; the other direction is to make some innovations in the expression method."
