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

In the third-year class of the oil painting major, Teacher Hu is making arrangements for the students for the final exams.

Students keep track of their time and what they need to do while considering their study schedule.

Some of them are preparing to participate in the national art exhibition selection and have already started preparations. Some are even planning to stay in school for the New Year.

Jiang Zhe also has his own plans.

You don't need to spend too much time preparing for the final exam.

His daily accumulation was enough to get good grades. He planned to finish another large-scale creation before leaving for Russia.

"Everyone, think about it. If you don't understand something, ask now. After the meeting, please report the names of students who will stay in school for the New Year as soon as possible," Teacher Hu instructed.

As per convention, the school will take some care of the students who stay in school for the New Year so that they don’t feel too lonely during the New Year celebration.

Students were more concerned about the use of the studio, and some asked whether the studio could be open 24 hours a day.

Teacher Hu said: "The key to the studio is managed by the monitor and can be used most of the time, but the temperature in the studio is not as high as that in the dormitory. For health and safety reasons, it is not recommended that you stay overnight in the studio..."

After Teacher Hu announced the end of the meeting, the students left one after another.

She motioned for Jiang Zhe to talk alone.

Jiang Zhe followed Teacher Hu outside.

Teacher Hu said to Jiang Zhe, "Let me tell you something. I can go to Russia with you guys."

Jiang Zhe smiled and said, "Congratulations."

Because participating in this study can save money and do not have to worry about complicated procedures, many teachers want to go. I wonder how Teacher Hu earned this spot.

"We will set out together then, so we can take care of each other. Also, don't tell anyone else about this. I will only tell Professor Qin and you."

"I understand, I understand." Jiang Zhe agreed.

"Prepare and submit your works for the National Art Exhibition as soon as possible," said Teacher Hu.

Many teachers and students in the school will participate in the selection. Because of Jiang Zhe’s previous achievements, he will be the focus of the school.

"Don't worry, it won't delay anything."

After talking with Teacher Hu, Jiang Zhe had not walked far when he saw Fu Min and Mou Xing chatting in the corridor.

He walked over and asked, "Why are you chatting? It's almost lunch time, aren't you going to eat?"

"we will wait for you."

"What are you waiting for me to do?"

"Please help us look at the work and find the problems."

Jiang Zhe knew that they were all preparing to participate in the selection for the National Art Exhibition, so he said, "Why don't you ask a few teachers to help you look at the paintings."

Fu Min and Mou Xing held Jiang Zhe on the left and right and walked towards the studio. "Go and help us take a look. It won't take up too much time."

Mou Xing also said: "We have asked several teachers to take a look. You have a lot of experience in participating in exhibitions, so please help us find out the problems."

Unable to refuse the kind invitation, Jiang Zhe had no choice but to send a text message to Chen Yan to tell her that he would be late.

When I arrived at the class studio, I saw many classmates were already busy.

In the past, by the end of the semester, the studio had been cleaned and tidy, but now, it seemed as if professional classes were being taken.

Most of the students had their works on their easels. Some were painting, and a few were discussing.

Fu Min pulled Jiang Zhe to her work.

Jiang Zhe had seen some drafts of this painting before.

Fu Min depicts a group portrait.

The scene in the painting is a busy sidewalk on the seaside.

It was morning. A few junior high school students were walking together to school. Around them, there were a few passers-by in a hurry. In front of them were students wearing the same school uniform. Looking out into the distance, cars were coming and going on the road outside the sidewalk.

The whole painting has a grand scene, and you can tell that Fu Min put a lot of effort into it.

Jiang Zhe’s current level is enough to see the problems with the picture.

"Let me be frank. There are many characters in your painting, and they must be divided into primary and secondary ones. Although you have made distinctions in your depiction techniques, some secondary images can actually serve as hints..."

He pointed out the problems one after another.

After Fu Min asked in detail.

Jiang Zhe said: "These are just my personal opinions, you can refer to them. Don't let my words disrupt your creative thinking."

After Mou Xing heard what he said, he pulled Jiang Zhe in front of his work.

He painted a single portrait.

Since he was not very good at painting group portraits, he focused on single portraits.

Jiang Zhe also pointed out some problems with his work.

When other students in the class saw this, they also asked Jiang Zhe for help.

He had to delay for some time.

This kind of thing has happened several times this semester.

In the past, everyone would help each other to identify issues, and some opinions would even lead to debates.

After entering their junior year, many students became more willing to let Jiang Zhe help them solve problems.

Jiang Zhe also noticed this change and felt a little embarrassed at first. However, as time went by, both the inviter and the invited Jiang Zhe seemed to have gotten used to it.

After Jiang Zhe helped to pick out the questions, he walked towards the cafeteria with Fu Min and others.

On the way, Fu Min said to Jiang Zhe: "I really envy you for being able to visit St. Petersburg."

Jiang Zhe said: "You can strive to study abroad in the future."

Mou Xing said, "Don't set such high goals. It's already good enough to be able to pass the postgraduate entrance examination of our school. Many students in our class have already started preparing, and many students in other majors are also busy."

He talked about what he knew about the preparations for the postgraduate entrance examination.

Fu Min asked Jiang Zhe: "Have you ever considered taking the postgraduate entrance examination?"

Jiang Zhe said: "I haven't made any preparations yet. Mainly because I haven't decided where to go."

"Your major will definitely be fine. You should have prepared for other things early."

Arriving at the cafeteria, Fu Min saw Chen Yan waiting for Jiang Zhe, and said with a smile: "We won't waste your time."

Chen Yan and Fu Min were already familiar with each other, so they invited them to have dinner together.

Fu Min smiled and said, "We don't want to be a light bulb." Having said that, she left with a few classmates laughing, leaving space for Jiang Zhe and the other two.

After lunch, Jiang Zhe returned to the studio and started creating.

In the next few days, whenever he had time, he would return to the villa studio to create works with market themes.

During the creative process, he tried to get as close as possible to the state of creating a masterpiece of the timeless quality, while summarizing his experience in the hope of making another breakthrough.

Although every creation was adjusted to the best condition, this painting did not achieve a real breakthrough until it was almost completed.

Time passed unknowingly, and after the last final exam was over, the students who were preparing to go home breathed a sigh of relief.

The students who are planning to stay in school do not have the same sense of relief as they did in the past when exams are over. It feels like they have just finished one stop and are immediately starting a new journey.

Jiang Zhe's creation has not been completed yet, but the time to set off has come.

He said goodbye to his parents and rushed to the provincial capital with Professor Qin, Teacher Hu and several other teachers. (End of this chapter)
