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

studio.

Several teachers are still reading Jiang Zhe's works.

While sipping tea, Professor Qin talked to Jiang Zhe about his previous assignment, a paper on art theory research.

"Your research on the development of American painting schools is combined with the social development at that time. However, some meanings can be understood by yourself and not revealed.

Many people understand the meaning of creating cultural heroes and consolidating cultural status. Although you didn't say it explicitly, you can still see it from the article. "

After hearing the teacher's reminder, Jiang Zhe said, "Okay, I'll listen to your advice. I'll say less of this in the future."

"Yes, just understand it yourself."

Professor Qin then asked, "Many teachers, including students, have already started preparing to participate in next year's National Art Exhibition. What are you going to paint?"

Jiang Zhe said: "I have been preparing these works recently and have not yet considered the subsequent creations. Do you have any suggestions?"

Professor Qin said: "Choose your favorite theme and then combine it with our cultural atmosphere. When it comes to creation, the trivial things in daily life are all rich themes.

I've seen you draw boys playing games, workers working, and old people strolling at dusk. These scenes appear in different cities and can touch people's emotions.

In addition, you have a detailed observation of the painting subjects and are good at capturing the expressions of the characters. For example, the moments of various activities are all depicted vividly, infectiously and expressively.

These advantages should be maintained.

Sometimes there is a sense of humor in your paintings. Although some people may criticize it, you should ignore it. It can make people smile and bring spiritual comfort to them. "

Jiang Zhe feels the same way: "I depict everyday life because I see and touch it a lot."

Professor Qin said: “If you are interested in the characters you write about and understand them, then the audience will have the same resonance. The artist’s creative passion comes from this.

Painting, or fine art, is an art form of visual communication.

Although new artistic schools and trends continue to emerge, the role of narrative has not disappeared.”

At this time, Teacher Hu also finished looking at the work and came over to listen to their conversation.

Jiang Zhe poured tea for Teacher Hu.

Professor Qin said with a smile: "Teacher Hu, tell me your opinion."

Teacher Hu thanked Jiang Zhe and expressed his feelings: "In addition to the narrative characteristics of Jiang Zhe's works, the painting characteristics are also very prominent. Compared with his previous works, the shaping of the form is more refined, the main and the secondary are clear, the colors are rich but not gaudy, and the quality is simple and mellow. It is obvious that he is exploring the language of painting."

She looked at Jiang Zhe and said, "You are able to keep exploring new things, which is commendable. As for the content of the pictures, I personally feel that they are fresh."

Professor Qin said, "We are all family. If you have any questions, you can speak up directly."

Teacher Hu said: "I have never lived in the United States, so I don't have a deep understanding of these topics. I can only say that from a technical point of view, there is no problem. The key is that I haven't reached this level yet."

Professor Qin said: "Teacher Hu is very honest."

At this time, several other teachers finished looking at the works and came over and sat down.

Jiang Zhe had prepared refreshments for the teachers. They sat together and started chatting.

“…Artworks are a projection of the artist’s inner self. There is also a saying that the state of life determines the state of art.” Teacher Wei first expressed his own opinion: “Jiang Zhe is young, energetic, and full of vitality, so some of his works are full of youthful vitality.

I looked at these landscape paintings, the sky, ocean, forest, rocks and other natural scenes, which were depicted delicately and realistically. However, the most valuable thing is that Jiang Zhe did not copy or move the scenes of nature, but combined his subjective feelings to refine certain elements of nature and optimize and reorganize them.

Jiang Zhe, have you gone to sketch?"

Jiang Zhe said honestly: "No, I just refer to the materials and create."

Teacher Wei said: "It is not easy to draw to this level without sketching.

I really like the peaceful countryside and the changing seasons in the painting. The light and shadow and colors are delicate and transparent, and the picture is vivid. I feel like I am there, as if I can walk into the scenery he depicts. In addition, I have my own ideas on the use of egg tempera techniques. We can find time to discuss it specifically. "

Another teacher waited for Teacher Wei to finish speaking, then said to Jiang Zhe, "I've noticed some problems. Please listen to see if they are correct."

Jiang Zhe has been taking notes since everyone started chatting. This attitude makes the teachers very satisfied.

"The scenes you depict all have the distinct characteristics of the American geographical environment, which are open, grand, and remote. Even without big mountains and rivers, they are still grand scenes. The structure of the picture is stable and balanced, and the content is rich. Unlike the Impressionist painters who omitted details, you retained the detailed description of the painting objects and the realistic style.

In terms of color and the depiction of light and shadow, you used the techniques of those Impressionist painters and combined them with some contemporary color research. Unfortunately, without the foundation of sketching, you had to make some compromises or changes.

Although your presentation is very good, it still gives the picture a cinematic feel.

I think, Jiang Zhe, you need to sketch. The natural and cultural environment of a place will inevitably have a huge impact on the formation of an artist's style. "

Jiang Zhe nodded in agreement.

"This is a good suggestion, but it is a bit difficult. These paintings are meant to open up the market, so they must have the characteristics of American culture." Another teacher said, "I think it is not easy to integrate to this extent.

Jiang Zhe, you must pay attention when you observe American paintings. Although American paintings have absorbed artistic nourishment from various countries, due to the influence of culture and the market, many works are too easy to understand and are close to commercial paintings.

So, you must be able to distinguish high from low.”

The teachers all expressed their opinions on Jiang Zhe's paintings. Everyone had different perspectives and opinions were inconsistent, and some even conflicted with each other. Fortunately, everyone just discussed and studied without arguing.

Jiang Zhe also absorbed a lot of useful ideas from these suggestions.

After he made some changes to some of his works, he asked Wang Zhen to arrange for someone to take photos and send them to Christie's auction house.

A few days later, Wang Zhen came to Jiang Zhe's villa and brought good news.

The auction house was very interested in this batch of works and hoped to ship all the works to New York as soon as possible, and even suggested that Jiang Zhe send some drafts to show them to the public.

Wang Zhen also told Jiang Zhe that Christie's was very confident in this batch of works and said that they could hold a solo exhibition for Jiang Zhe.

Watching the staff moving the works, Wang Zhen was full of confidence and said to Jiang Zhe: "Your first solo exhibition is held in New York, which is a high starting point."

Jiang Zhe said: "I didn't expect it either."
