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

Chapter 43, The First Unified Examination, Teacher's Attention (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Jiang Zhe carried a tool box and a drawing board bag, left the studio, and walked to the Binhai Art Academy.

Today is the first day of the provincial art unified examination. The current unified examination is different from the unified examination many years later. It only involves schools in the province that recruit art candidates. The unified examination results have nothing to do with schools in other provinces.

On the way from the studio to the test site, Jiang Zhe didn't want to take the risk of taking a car. Since 2000, Binhai has had serious traffic jams. On the day of the test, there will inevitably be traffic jams in front of the test site. Although walking is slow, it can guarantee arrival time. Now, only a few candidates rent houses near the test site.

Jiang Zhe was walking on the sidewalk, about 1 kilometer away from the Art College. The six-lane north-south road was already jammed with traffic.

Buses, private cars, and taxis filled the road, moving slowly. Many drivers were honking their horns desperately.

Jiang Zhe saw from afar that the east-west road in front of Binhai Academy of Art was also congested.

He was glad that he made the right choice. At the same time, some candidates carrying drawing boards came out of various vehicles and joined the pedestrian team.

Jiang Zhe walked to the school gate, lined up for inspection, followed the signs and came to the small square of the Academy of Fine Arts.

The small square is between the two teaching buildings. Senior students line up holding exam room signs. Candidates who have arrived look at the signboards to find the exam room.

Jiang Zhe saw from the notice board that he was in the third examination room.

The Academy of Fine Arts of the Academy of Arts has less than 300 students enrolled. There are nearly 60 examination rooms, and if each room has 40 students, there are more than candidates.

After Jiang Zhe arrived at the line of candidates in the third examination room, the teacher in charge of the third examination room came over with a stack of registration forms.

"Student, please look at your ID."

Jiang Zhe took out his admission ticket and ID card.

After checking, the teacher said, "You are number 16. Wait a minute and line up according to the number."

"Thank you, teacher." While waiting, Jiang Zhe looked around and looked at the other candidates.

He was very sure that the first few examination rooms were filled with candidates applying for the painting department, because there were more former students in these examination rooms. There were a few people with mature faces, similar to themselves before rebirth.

Occasionally I would see familiar people, but they were too far away and there were too many candidates, so I couldn't say hello.

When most people in the examination room had arrived, Jiang Zhe saw Chen Yan coming to the small square.

Chen Yan saw Jiang Zhe and waved to him.

Jiang Zhe waved his hand.

The major that Chen Yan applied for was in the last examination room.

When the time is up, the examiner begins to announce the examination discipline and requirements.

The invigilator led the candidates into the examination room.

Jiang Zhe followed the team in the third examination room and entered the South Building. He estimated that there were about 300 candidates applying for the Painting Department. The rest of the candidates who entered the North Building should be those who applied for the Design Department.

He followed the team to a classroom on the third floor, where the original class sign had been labeled with the name of the examination room.

Enter the examination room and the invigilator will assign seats.

Jiang Zhe saw that there were dozens of drawing stools and two model seats already set up in the examination room, and guessed that today he would be doing sketching.

After getting to his position, Jiang Zhe looked around.

This classroom or studio is about 100 square meters. Some large easels that cannot be moved are moved to a corner and stacked. There is also a large plaster statue of Laocoön in the corner.

Although the studio is a bit old, it has a strong artistic atmosphere. It should be a pleasant thing to study and create here.

When the invigilator was checking the candidates' documents again, two young women walked into the examination room and sat in the model seats, attracting the attention of many candidates.

Most people thought that today they might be tested on portrait sketching.

However, Jiang Zhe noticed that both models were wearing long skirts, so he thought the test question would not be about their portraits.

The teacher hands out the test questions.

Jiang Zhe saw the test requirements: Complete a half-length sketch of a young woman wearing a hat.

Size: 4-fold.

This exam question was beyond the expectations of most candidates and left the examination staff unprepared.

Probably because the sealed exam questions had just been opened, the two models were wearing long skirts and no hats.

Jiang Zhe vaguely heard that some invigilators were arranging and preparing ladies' hats for several examination rooms.

The teacher distributed drawing paper and asked the candidates to fill in the information.

Soon, the inspector brought in two women's sun hats. The styles of the two hats were different.

Fortunately, the style of the hat and skirt of the model that Jiang Zhe was facing was barely matched and did not look awkward.

Jiang Zhe held the drawing board upright and held it between his knees. He held the drawing board with an eraser in his left hand and picked up a pencil in his right hand. After the model got ready, he began to observe.

The model was probably in her twenties, with a ponytail, a full face, a few pimples on her forehead, thin eyebrows, big eyes, a wide distance between them, and a wide nose. Overall, she was not pretty, but had her own characteristics.

She wore a light-colored loose woolen top, a tie-dyed skirt, and a sun hat with floral decorations.

In short, there are many interfering factors in the model itself, and if not handled properly, the picture will look messy.

Jiang Zhe observed and thought at the same time. To draw this model, he had to capture her expression and image characteristics and find beauty in the original characteristics. To create beauty, all decorations, including the lines and folds of the skirt, had to be modified and adjusted to form a unified rhythm. However, this modification was limited and could not be too large, otherwise it would not meet the requirements of the test questions.

He thought of the outline in his mind, began to draw dynamic lines, and then adjusted the movements and proportions.

According to his idea, the movements of the character in the painting should be more relaxed than those of the model, with the body slightly twisted and one hand on the knee, highlighting the character's subtle dynamics and beauty.

Jiang Zhe uses simple lines to outline the characters, and then modifies and exaggerates the images.

At this time, the rustling sound of pencils and charcoal pencils scratching on paper was getting louder and louder. Many candidates had already entered the stage of distinguishing light and dark and laying out tones.

Jiang Zhe was not in a hurry and insisted on adjusting the character modeling according to his own habits and rhythm. With a good start and interlocking steps, the subsequent creation will be smoother and more comfortable.

The door was slowly opened, and a bald old man walked into the third examination room, followed by several teachers.

When the invigilator saw these people coming in, he immediately greeted them with a smile and lip-synced greetings. Several teachers patrolling the examination room walked around the examination room, scanning the works one by one. When they saw a good work, they would stop and take a look.

The bald old man noticed Jiang Zhe's work, slowly walked behind him and stopped to watch.

Jiang Zhe is painting the dark parts of the character's face.

The bald old man turned around and looked at a man with slicked back gray hair.

Their eyes met, and the bald old man pointed at Jiang Zhe.

The gray-haired teacher came over to watch Jiang Zhe's work. After a while, he nodded to the bald old man, moved closer, looked at Jiang Zhe's admission ticket and ID card, and then looked at Jiang Zhe's profile.

Jiang Zhe noticed that someone was looking at his work, so he responded politely and continued painting.

Several other teachers came over to check and then continued their inspection.

They walked through all the examination rooms in the north building. The bald old man asked his gray-haired colleague, "Old Qin, what do you think of Jiang Zhe's painting?"

Old Qin, with gray hair, said: "Not bad, you have a good foundation and a keen sense of beauty. Although you have just started painting, the form and rhythmic beauty of the painting have already been expressed."

Several other teachers also commented.

"This student is good."

“I had heard that he had won a major design award, but I didn’t expect that he was also very good at sketching and coloring.”

"If we can recruit him, he will be a good candidate."

A few people were walking and chatting, feeling very relaxed.

At this time, Teacher Jin, who had once looked for Jiang Zhe, walked quickly towards the bald old man.

"Director Liang, Teacher Qin..." She greeted several teachers in turn. Director Liang was the director of the painting department and her superior, and the others were key teachers in charge of their majors, so her words were full of respect.

"Director Liang, I heard that Jiang Zhe has more than just award-winning experience. There is a record of his works being collected, and the prices of his paintings are not low." She handed a piece of information to Director Liang.

After quickly flipping through the information, Director Liang handed it to the gray-haired Teacher Qin. "Old Qin, take a look. This student hasn't even been admitted to university yet, but the price of his paintings is higher than some of our teachers."

Teacher Qin looked at them and said, "You are being too euphemistic. These watercolor paintings are very good, but unfortunately, I haven't seen the originals. I will take a closer look at them when we take the color test this afternoon. If possible, let him go directly to our oil painting department. What do you think?"

Another teacher said, "Teacher Qin, don't worry. Our school has always wanted to establish a watercolor painting major. I think Jiang Zhe's watercolor paintings are very good."

Teacher Qin said: "For watercolor painting, we only have a studio right now. It's too late this year, so we can wait until later."

Teacher Jin said, "Teacher Qin, it's not certain whether this student is from our department. The teachers in the design department reported to the dean that Jiang Zhe's design work has won awards, so he should be transferred to their department, whether it is graphic design or product design."

A teacher said, "They are really good. Can they force such a thing? Just pick up the grades?"

Director Liang was not worried: "The student signed up for our painting department.

As long as his grades are good, we won't let him go. As for which major he chooses, we'll decide when the time comes."

"The director is right. After all, there are still two exams left. If his grades are too bad, he won't be admitted."

"Do you remember, there was an example like this before, the student who took the exam for five consecutive years?"

"remember."

……

examination room.

Jiang Zhe has already begun to depict the details.

He glanced at other people's works and found that the quality varied greatly.

Among the students who dare to sign up, there are experts, but there are also those who are not good enough.

If you want to get a good ranking, you must work hard on aesthetics.

He carefully adjusted the balance of light and shadow and character structure, and coordinated the relationship between costumes and characters.

Before I knew it, the exam was over.

Jiang Zhe successfully finished the creation and sprayed the fixative.

After the candidates finished drawing the sketch, they completed a character sketch.

Jiang Zhe took the opportunity of the teacher collecting the test papers to look at other people's sketch papers. He was confident that his sketch would definitely stand out in the third examination room.

He left the teaching building and walked to the small square, where he saw Chen Yan waving at him from a distance.

Jiang Zhe walked over and asked, "How did you do on the exam?"

Chen Yan shook her head: "I don't know. Well, for those who dare to take the modeling exam, height is not a problem. But..." She suddenly laughed out loud: "No one is as pretty as me."

Jiang Zhe also smiled: "Yeah, you are the best looking."

"How are you?" Chen Yan asked.

Jiang Zhe describes the test questions.

"So difficult?" Chen Yan was surprised: "It is indeed difficult to enter the painting department. A bust is already difficult to draw, not to mention there are so many requirements.

No wonder so many people look so sad, are you okay?"

Jiang Zhe was very confident: "It should be fine."
