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

On Wednesday morning, Jiang Zhe came to school early without driving.

Chen Yan was already waiting in the cafeteria. Seeing Jiang Zhe carrying a bag and a painting box in his hands, she hurried over to help him carry his things.

"You're just going to sketch, why do you bring so many things?"

Jiang Zhe said: "I don't know what kind of material I will see, so I'll prepare more."

In addition to preparing materials for oil painting, he also brought some materials for creating watercolors and sketches. Although some tools could be stored together, he still brought a lot of things.

The two walked into the small cafeteria and lined up to buy breakfast. Chen Yan asked, "What are your plans for today? What about dinner? What time will you be back?"

Jiang Zhe said: "We came back when the factory got off work. We should have been there for three consecutive days, and then came back to organize the works."

In addition to the two of them, there were a group of students who had gotten up early and were eating in the small cafeteria. Several of them had painting supplies on their tables. They were probably going out to sketch.

Chen Yan put breakfast on the table, looked around the dining area, and said, "You oil painting majors are going out to sketch. Do other majors arrange sketching at the same time?"

Jiang Zhe also saw it: "From the looks of it, it seems that he has arranged a life drawing class. I wonder if he will go with us."

"Bring some snacks with you. If you feel hungry when you get there, you can replenish your energy." Chen Yan advised.

"Don't worry, we're ready."

The two of them chatted while eating.

"You are so lucky that you can often go out to sketch. Our major doesn't even have sketching classes."

Jiang Zhe smiled and said, "You don't need to sketch in your major anymore. Even if you practice, you just draw models and clothes."

Many design majors do not arrange student classes, such as fashion and interior design.

After dinner, Chen Yan accompanied Jiang Zhe to the school gate.

Along the way, you can see many students carrying painting boxes towards the school gate.

Jiang Zhe saw that several classmates in his class had gathered together, so he said to Chen Yan, "Okay, you don't have to send me off, just go back to class. I'll call you if there's anything."

"Be careful." Chen Yan suddenly kissed Jiang Zhe on the cheek, then ran out a few steps and looked at Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe waved at her and turned to walk towards his classmates.

Fu Min was chatting with the squad leader. When they saw Jiang Zhe coming over with something on his back, they started to say hello.

Jiang Zhe walked over to the two of them and put down his painting tools. "I see there are a lot of people out sketching today, are they going with us?"

The squad leader was well-informed: "Let's go together, all go to Binhai Shipyard to sketch."

"The school has established a relationship with the shipyard?" Fu Min said.

The monitor said: "I don't know if it matters or not. But I know that our school has never organized students to go to the shipyard to sketch on a large scale before.

It is said that this is also a way to complete social investigation.”

Jiang Zhe knew that the factory they were going to was well-known locally and was later merged into the Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Group.

A few years later, the shipyard was relocated and the original site became a new tourist attraction.

The factory has not yet moved, and one can see the accumulation and changes of the factory in recent decades.

Thinking of this, he already began to look forward to sketching.

Students and teachers arrived one after another.

In addition to Teacher Hu, there is also Teacher Wei, the team leader of the oil painting major.

The teacher is in his forties and is good at landscape sketching.

Jiang Zhe saw students majoring in Chinese painting, watercolor and printmaking, so he went along.

The school arranged a total of four vehicles.

Students from four classes got on the bus separately.

As the vehicle started, Mr. Hu once again emphasized the issue of safety.

After driving for more than ten minutes, the vehicle arrived at the factory gate.

This factory is located on the coastline of the city. There are several residential communities around the factory gate. Some of them are dormitory areas of the shipyard, and some are new commercial housing communities. Jiang Zhe looked at these communities and compared them with his memories of his previous life.

In the future, most of these communities will be demolished and turned into new commercial high-rise buildings, high-end neighborhoods and seaside scenery.

Today, there are still many traces of the times here.

Teacher Hu stood up and said, "Cars cannot enter the factory directly. We have to walk in. Wait a moment, and the factory union will come to take us there."

Everyone got off the car and waited while the vehicle left.

A few people hurried out of the factory. After a few teachers came forward to greet them, the factory people took the students into the factory.

The teacher arranged the students to form a semicircle in an open space not far from the factory gate.

Everyone first listened to the factory staff explain the history of the factory.

"Welcome teachers and students from the Art Academy to come to our factory to sketch."

A bald man introduced himself first.

His surname is Ma and he is a team leader in the trade union.

Team leader Ma briefly introduced that Binhai Shipyard was established in the 60s and this factory has been relocated once.

Currently, there are four branches in the factory, namely shipbuilding, ship repair, yacht and pressure vessel.

The shipyard is capable of building 10,000-ton cargo ships and yachts, and can also repair a variety of ships. It has received orders from many countries.

Team leader Ma was very proud when talking about the past history.

“The place where we sketched was at the shipbuilding and ship repair factories.

There are many dangers on the construction site, so please be sure to comply with the requirements. Our union assigns a guide to each class. He is responsible for coordination. If you have any questions, you can find him.

I want to emphasize again that you must not approach construction sites that you cannot go to. This is for everyone’s safety.”

He particularly emphasized that when sketching, one should stay in a safe area.

In addition, because the shipyard has a large coastline, including a beach, swimming is strictly prohibited.

"Because there are no shark nets here, we often see sharks there," said Team Leader Ma.

Do not know is not true.

Teachers and students majoring in oil painting first went to the ship repair factory to sketch.

Along the way, all the workers who saw them cast curious glances at them.

At this time, some workers were still eating, while others had already started working.

Workers will wear special work clothes, work hats and carry different tools.

The guides of Jiang Zhe and others will also introduce these people's jobs.

When the workers saw the guide, they asked from a distance, "What is he bringing people here for?"
They have loud and powerful voices, and are willing to make jokes. Compared with them, the students are still a little immature.

Jiang Zhe and his team came to an open-air work area.

Watching the workers at work from a distance was already shocking.

Several workers were welding a large vessel of unknown purpose.

The weather in October has become cooler, but these workers work in a narrow space and have to crawl in and out, wearing special work clothes to protect themselves.

Jiang Zhe saw two workers climb out of the working space, come to the open-air rest area, undress and replenish water.

The guide explained that because the temperature is too high and workers sweat a lot, they have to take turns to rest.

The scene of several workers, sweating and covered in oil, using large cups to collect water from old-fashioned thermos barrels touched the students.

Jiang Zhe already had the urge to create and wanted to depict these vivid and shocking moments.
