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

"A little higher on the left... OK, that's fine."

Several senior executives and teachers from the Academy of Art watched the staff hang Jiang Zhe's works on the booth.

During the selection process, teachers and students' works do not need to be hung, but can be placed directly on the wall or table.

However, the good news brought by Jiang Zhe made the senior executives feel happy. They were no longer in a hurry to leave and wanted to take a closer look at his work.

The head of the Department of Plastic Arts suggested taking photos as a souvenir, so everyone chose a spot in the museum and hung up Jiang Zhe's works.

Looking at the works, everyone gave their opinions, saying that similar works show the development of the times, depict the vigor and vitality of young people, conform to the main theme, etc.

Several teachers in charge of publicity promptly captured the moment when the senior executives commented on the works.

Next, everyone stood in front of the work and took a group photo.

Jiang Zhe was originally at the edge of the crowd. However, the dean insisted that he, the author, stay with him. The others lined up on the left and right.

This work is large in size, so there is no embarrassment of not being able to stand still.

After taking the photos, the senior executives reminded Jiang Zhe to keep working hard before leaving.

Professor Qin and Teacher Hu stayed.

Although he himself was not included in the special invitation list, he still felt proud that his students were included in the special invitation list.

Professor Qin knew that this matter had just begun, and reminded Jiang Zhe of what to pay attention to next.

"Will your works for the exhibition be shipped together with the school's works, or will they be shipped separately?"

"Manager Wang has asked us to ship it to the capital as soon as possible. Manager Yan will be here soon to take care of this matter," Jiang Zhe replied.

"If you need to go to the capital to take care of follow-up matters, please tell us in time and we will be responsible for asking the school for leave for you."

"Thank you, teacher."

"You're welcome." Professor Qin said, "It can be seen that the organizing committee of the Capital Biennale has set very high goals.

If this is a good event, maybe we will continue to do it. If you can achieve something in the Biennale, it will definitely help your development.”

Jiang Zhe recalled his memories from his previous life, but unfortunately, he could not remember the subsequent development of the Capital Biennale.

Professor Qin continued: “When we look at the life experiences of some great artists, we will find that their fame or career success often started with an insignificant opportunity, an opportunity that they themselves may not even realize how important it is.

Maybe it will take many years before I understand.

So, for you, don’t miss any opportunity and take it seriously. "

"I understand." After a period of cooling down, Jiang Zhe's mood has calmed down, and he responds and thinks calmly.

Manager Yan came back and first congratulated Jiang Zhe, and then started to handle the transportation procedures.

Jiang Zhe was busy until very late before returning to his villa.

He told the news to his family and friends, sharing his joy with those who cared about him.

When he talked to Sister Liao on the phone, Sister Liao first congratulated him, and then advised: "Now, several departments are paying special attention to this matter. You must cooperate in a timely manner in all subsequent publicity. If you need to go to the capital, don't think it's troublesome..."

She gave advice based on her experience and chatted about some intimate topics before ending the call.

She sat in her study, and after a moment's silence, she took out a portrait of herself painted by Jiang Zhe and looked at it carefully.

Now, she no longer dares to hang Jiang Zhe's works, nor does she dare to let anyone know.

She knew clearly that she did not help Jiang Zhe to be included in the special invitation list.

With Wang Zheng's ability, he probably can't do this. After thinking about it, he can only attribute it to Jiang Zhe's own ability. At the same time, he also meets the needs of the Biennale Organizing Committee.

It can be said that this success is the result of a combination of strength and luck.

I was happy for Jiang Zhe, and at the same time I recalled the scene when I first met Jiang Zhe.

The seemingly silent high school student has grown to his current status in a short period of time.

Thinking of the scenes of getting along with Jiang Zhe, my blood started to flow faster...

Jiang Zhe sat on a chair in the studio, admiring a picture of Michelangelo's sketch.

He tried to let go of the good news, and at the same time, he felt a sense of urgency. He was indeed young, and being on the special invitation list would definitely attract attention. There would definitely be people who would nitpick him, so he had to produce solid work.

Now, the works I submitted for the exhibition can no longer be modified. What I can do is to make the future works better. Here, better does not only refer to the skills, but also the painting language and concepts.

After observing for a while, Jiang Zhe began to copy the sketches of famous artists.

While he was busy in the studio, the news that he was included in the special invitation list quickly spread in the art circles of Binhai and even in the province.

Many people working in the arts have been busy preparing for the Biennale for nearly half a year, and many have been trying to find connections in the hope of being selected. Some people feel that they are qualified and famous enough, and have been hoping to be on the special invitation list. Although the special invitation list does not guarantee a prize, it is an honor after all.

When they heard that Jiang Zhe was on the list, many people had mixed feelings. Some people didn't believe it and started looking for people to ask and verify it; some people even started thinking about how to make trouble and hinder him. Some people wanted to add icing on the cake and called Jiang Zhe.

Unfortunately, Jiang Zhe had muted his phone.

……

After Jiang Zhe washed up and prepared to go to bed, he deliberately opened the system to take a look.

Only one day had passed, and the experience bar on the system honor value page had changed, and the cursor began to move forward again.

Each time the honor value is upgraded, the honor value required to move the cursor will increase. After the last upgrade, the cursor starts moving from the starting point, but the effect is not obvious.

This time, the movement was visible to the naked eye, indicating that a particularly large amount of honor points were collected.

On Saturday morning, Jiang Zhe was on the phone with Teacher Luan.

Jiang Zhe was surprised that Teacher Luan called him on his own initiative.

Luan Yuhui heard the news yesterday, but didn't call Jiang Zhe until this morning.

She congratulated Jiang Zhe and asked if there was anything she could do to help.

Hearing Luan Yuhui's concern, Jiang Zhe was in a very good mood.

From this morning till now, he has received many calls, all of which express congratulations.

After ending the call, he walked out of the studio and heard his parents talking on the first floor.

Xiao Ka was running in the yard.

We received good news yesterday. Jiang Yi and his wife came to the villa this morning to inquire about the details of the matter.

When Jiang Yi and his wife saw their son coming out of the studio, they asked, "Xiaozhe, how do you want to celebrate? We can go out for dinner or cook at home, it's up to you."

Jiang Zhe said: "Let the restaurant deliver the food. I want to squeeze out a little more time to do the subsequent creation."

Jiang Yi was very happy. "I was included in the special invitation list. I was able to calm down after receiving the good news. That's good. I need to keep this up."

Seeing that their son did not become proud of his one success, the old couple also supported him in his creative work.

After calling to order food, Jiang Zhe squeezed out some time to start thinking about creative issues.

After practicing sketching in recent days, he had new thoughts on modeling methods.

It can be said that with the help of the system, as long as Jiang Zhe is enterprising in his professional direction, he will always find a way to break through, either in terms of color or in terms of modeling language. However, this will also bring problems.

After every breakthrough, Jiang Zhe always felt that his previous works seemed to have some shortcomings.

A few days after the work was completed for the Capital Biennale, Jiang Zhe always felt that there was something he could change. If the work had not been shipped away, he really wanted to make changes.

Now, I can only apply this new discovery and insight to these two groups of works: depicting markets and depicting construction sites.

He considered adjusting the character details in these two sets of works.

The specific goals of the changes include improving character modeling and increasing dramatic conflict.

For example, the age of the vendors in the market, their expressions when speaking, and some details of their movements. Also, what are the characteristics of customers of different ages, and what are their inner activities? Even some details of the picture will be exaggerated to a certain extent.

The reference for the changes came from some insights he gained after observing the works of Michelangelo and Rubens.

After observing and studying for a period of time recently, he understood Michelangelo's art from another perspective.

Although Rubens' artistic level is also very high and he is a representative of Baroque art, Michelangelo is greater.

When it comes to sketches and paintings, Michelangelo's sensitivity to the structure and details of the human body was very advanced, with both majestic momentum and compassion, as well as subtle details.

Baroque artists such as Rubens inherited and further magnified some of Michelangelo's art, especially highlighting the richness of details, even to the point of exaggeration. Rubens and other painters have reached the pinnacle of technology, but true masters do not need to show off their skills, and they only show the details in a limited way, pursuing the spiritual connotation of infinite meaning.

Art reflects the connotation of thought and spiritual quality, and the practice of skills is more about visual level. Technology is a means, and art is the goal.

Jiang Zhe did not want to copy some masters' painting techniques, but to apply what he learned from the masters' masterpieces to his painting, and also use it as a reference for his future development.

He concluded that Michelangelo's success, in addition to his versatility, was also due to his longevity. The master lived to be 89 years old, and during his 70-year creative career, he was able to create many great works and artistic ideas, which had a huge impact on later generations.

Another important point is that Michelangelo is a pioneer. Art history will focus on the pioneers, while the successors will be ignored.

We can also see from the history of art that the works of the pioneers are of great value and have a huge influence. The successors are completely different, and may not even be as good as the pioneers. For example, the asteroid 3001 is named after Michelangelo.

Jiang Zhe was immersed in his creation until his mother called him out for dinner.

The whole family had a happy lunch.
