The sculpture classroom is filled with many students' works.

Galina introduced Jiang Zhe to their daily practice, wrapping clay sculptures and sketching.

When Jiang Zhe was at the Primorsky Academy of Arts, he met students from the sculpture department and learned about sculpture. When he visited the sculpture department at the Repin Academy of Fine Arts, he was surprised by some of the training content.

Students majoring in sculpture are also advised to copy classics, such as using clay sculptures to imitate some well-known sculptures, or even copying some capital sculptures.

Jiang Zhe saw a piece of painting that Galina was copying.

He generously praised some of Galina and Anna's works.

Galina blushed a little after being praised: "You are exaggerating. We haven't learned so many skills yet, and we are often criticized by teachers. In the future, we may learn more skills. I hope that the works by then will be worthy of these comments."

Jiang Zhe said: "I look forward to seeing more of your good works. If you want, you can also develop in China. China's economy will get better and better in the future, and the art market will also expand in the future."

"Really? I'll definitely go and take a look," said Galina.

Jiang Zhe could see that Galina and Anna obviously didn't trust China's art market, and they only agreed to it to save their own face.

This is not surprising. If it were not for the memories of the previous life, many foreigners or locals would not believe that China would undergo such great changes in the next 20 years.

There was a knock on the classroom door.

Teacher Hu saw that Jiang Zhe had not kept up with the team and came over to look for him.

Jiang Zhe told Anna that he would continue the tour and thanked her.

Galina accompanied Jiang Zhe back to the team.

The group continued to visit classrooms of other majors and the school art gallery, and also saw some small exhibitions in different teaching areas.

Jiang Zhe saw some very good works.

Although visiting the Repin Academy of Fine Arts broke some of his fantasies, the academic atmosphere here left him with a good impression.

He used the system to collect illustrations of his works, and other people in the team also exchanged information of their respective interests with each other.

At noon, the team stayed at the college for lunch, at their own expense.

Galina and Jiang Zhe have lunch together.

In the food selection area, she carefully introduced the lunch options to Jiang Zhe.

The lunch here is much simpler than that in the restaurants outside. Each dish is served in a plastic box, like a small lunch box.

Jiang Zhe chose a portion of meat, a portion of staple food, and a soup.

"You could try some dessert," Galina suggested.

Jiang Zhe asked Galina to order her own food and he would pay the bill.

Galina said a few polite words, and seeing that Jiang Zhe insisted on treating her, she ordered grilled skewers, salad, and an eclair.

In the restaurant, everyone was having lunch and chatting quietly. It wasn't noisy.

After trying the lunch, Jiang Zhe felt that it tasted mediocre and the portion was not enough, but he could only say that the calories were enough.

Galina told him that everyone was used to eating it.

Jiang Zhe originally thought that today's visit would end like this.

He plans to buy some painting materials here at the college and find time to paint a few works.

As expected, an accident occurred.

Some people in the study team talked about art education when communicating with the college, and then the topic started to go off track.

"We need to have more exchanges? How?" Jiang Zhe asked when he heard Teacher Hu say that the visit and study session would be extended.

Just now, he only saw a lot of people talking, but he didn't participate, so he didn't know what these people were talking about specifically.

Teacher Hu told him.

A studio for sophomores majoring in oil painting at the Academy of Fine Arts is still in training today, so everyone will go to observe the teaching of a teacher from the Basics Department.

At the same time, the Academy of Fine Arts invited the learning team to send someone to give a demonstration to the students. The team leader has agreed to add two more hours of observation time.

"Jiang Zhe, what's wrong?" Galina saw several people talking and asked anxiously what happened.

Jiang Zhe told Galina about it.

She said, "That's great. You can experience it firsthand. By the way." She changed the subject: "As far as I know, you are the best painter in your team. Do you want to show your work?"

Jiang Zhe quickly signaled her to speak more quietly, as speaking like that was too offensive.

"I've seen your paintings. You can definitely give a presentation on behalf of your team." Galina was willing to spend more time with Jiang Zhe and didn't even mind Jiang Zhe competing with her school.

Jiang Zhe did not say whether he was willing to demonstrate, he just said that he wanted to see the teaching of the college.

The team made a decision quickly. Except for some people who wanted to take a rest as originally planned, most members of the study team chose to extend their observation and study time.

Jiang Zhe took some time to buy some painting supplies.

The most well-known brand of Russian painting materials, especially pigments, in China is White Night.

The materials in this brand are also divided into many grades.

Jiang Zhe is not afraid of spending money, he only chooses what suits him better.

After selecting the supplies, he handed the gifts he brought to Galina.

Galina was very fond of the embroidery and cloisonné in the gifts.

Teacher Hu came to urge again.

The learning team came to a studio.

The space here is large, with half of the roof made of metal frame and glass, which provides excellent lighting, but also brings a problem - it's a bit cold.

The studio is named after the teacher.

They arrived at the studio and saw that there were already several students there, surrounding a teacher and watching him do his preparations.

This teacher is not very old, but he started to lose his hair at an early age.

The contact person of the academy introduced the teacher to the team. He usually teaches basic courses. Today, he wants the learning team to make a presentation.

The teacher who was preparing to teach invited the members of the study team to sit down and observe, and also asked the students to prepare a set of painting supplies individually.

Contact person at the college, please ask the study group to send someone to make a presentation together.

People began to recommend each other.

Many people want to show off their skills, but are afraid of making a fool of themselves in a place with such a profound heritage. If something goes wrong, they will be embarrassed abroad.

You recommend me and I recommend him, and we should be humble to each other.

Some old students from the Repin Academy of Fine Arts came to the studio one after another.

They were not in a hurry and made preparations while waiting.

Some people started recommending Jiang Zhe.

"Jiang Zhe is the youngest, but he has won many honors. Jiang Zhe, how about you represent our team to make a presentation?"

"Yeah, you've even done demonstrations in the U.S., so it should be OK."

When faced with such recommendations, most people would express humility and say some polite words like their level is not good enough.

This also led to the fact that no candidate has been determined yet.

But no one expected that Jiang Zhe would stand up slowly, smile and say, "Since the teacher recommended me, I will show my ugliness."

After that, he stepped out of the crowd without hesitation, faced the Russian teachers and students, and introduced himself in Russian.
