Myanmar in early March is not the rainy season in Southeast Asia in the traditional sense.
But the rain in Yangon is the tears of a passionate girl, and it always comes when it comes.
On the Dulwich campus in the rain, the European-style auditorium building made of black bricks and white lights flashing in the windows is like an old black and white movie, flowing with the golden era of the early twentieth century. The unique texture of old film.
There was melodious symphony music coming from the auditorium.
The YouTube video played on the 350-inch large laser projector in the center of the auditorium is coming to an end.
On the screen,
The protagonist of the short film, played by Jerry, a young man with blond hair, is crying silently while holding an old Doberman who is about to be euthanized in a stray pet rescue center. .
The slogan "tooveaniasistooveourseves" and "Caring for pets is caring for ourselves" is printed on the screen as the slogan of the micro film.
"Dear teachers and students, what was just played was the animal protection short film "Lost Love" starring 13th grader Jerry Lorenz."
Female The host said passionately to the students in the room.
“At the Yangon International Student Film Festival that just ended this Wednesday, the microfilm won the Outstanding Compassion Award and received a special report from the Yangon Economic Weekly. Let us now repay the outstanding students. Applause."
Mona, who hosted the commendation ceremony, put down the prompt card in her hand and applauded gently with a smile on her face.
Following the lead of the President of the Women’s Student Union,
Dulwich students in the auditorium applauded like thunder and started talking a lot.
“The boss is awesome” Jerry’s school team boys cheered vigorously and clapped their hands vigorously.
"It's so caring. I almost cried when I saw it, the dog is so pitiful."
A sentimental girl saw the Doberman being put as a pet at the end of the screen During the scene in the nitrogen chamber, I wiped my tears hard.
This nitrogen chamber is specially designed for euthanasia of elderly pets.
As the nitrogen content in the chamber increases, the dogs will fall into a coma without pain. The market price on Amazon is as high as US$2,500, donated by Jerry’s father’s company.
“This time he showed his face, which is amazing. I think Jerry has the style of a Hollywood star. He wears perfume every day when he goes to school. Our local boys don’t even have this kind of parenting habit. Not a gentleman either." Jerry's little fans focused more on the handsome blond guy.
“Tch, I don’t think this micro-movie is very good.”
Some people also secretly expressed their sadness at the school’s mobilization of teachers and students, saying, “We Doesn’t the school’s film club shoot a lot of short films throughout the year? They just show them casually on school holidays or club days. There has never been a special commendation meeting.”
“Idiot,” The point is not microMovies are about love and love, you know?"
A classmate next to him immediately refuted him, "Our school's film club can win awards at the International College Student Film Festival and allow reporters to write special reports. This can be written in the school. If you can do this in next year's admission brochure, the school will also hold a special commendation meeting for you. ”
This is the scene of Dulwich International School’s campus commendation ceremony.
Jerry Lorenz, a Grade 13 student, participated in the filming of the charity love micro-film, and the effect was surprisingly good .
Not only did it win an award at the Yangon University Student Film Festival, there was even a reporter’s special feature on the pet euthanasia charity founded by Jerry’s classmate, with the title of confronting the final journey of companion pets in death. Project.
Even if it is just a 100-word newsletter on the seventh page of the newspaper,
Yangon Economic Weekly is a mainstream newspaper affiliated with the serious city government. The media is not a gossip tabloid or a worthless self-media.
This is of great significance to a private and aristocratic school like Dewey.
The school board has made a special decision. A special commendation meeting was held in the afternoon, and even the European headquarters of Dulwich College International Education Group sent a congratulatory email.
In such a chaotic and noisy public place,
Gu Weijing was as usual. He is used to sitting in the corner of the senior group's seats.
Rather than the micro-movie, he is still thinking more about the copying from yesterday.
The IAD he is holding in his hand. The webpage is the homepage of the special exhibition of Lang Shining's new body paintings "The Shape of Rights" produced by the National Palace Museum in Taipei in the Eastern Xia Dynasty in 2017. From time to time, he selects a few paintings to enlarge and appreciate them.
The painting methods of Lang Shining's works are roughly divided into categories. Two categories.
On the whole, the works are still created using the "Western heavy color" technique of using Chinese brushwork as the main body and Western colors as the main body.
This kind of work is mainly about flowers, birds, vegetation and landscapes. , the painting method is relatively simple to learn.
You can understand it 70% or 80% of the time.
Based on this, accurate sketch line shapes and subtleties are added. After adopting the focus perspective proportion style, it can still completely retain the oriental charm, and cleverly integrate the essence of Chinese painting, oil painting and sketch into the "line drawing" painting method.
It is compared with "line drawing". The "Western method of heavy color" painting is much more difficult.
If the Western method of heavy color is like knitting a sweater, weaving the two yarns of Chinese painting and oil painting together.
Then line drawing painting , just like the maid Qingwen mending Jia Baoyu's fur in Dream of Red Mansions, using the extremely thin "peacock gold thread" of sketch to carve patterns on the clothes.
In addition to this painting method. In addition to being more difficult, it requires higher proficiency in using the brush.
“Chinese painting is the charm, oil painting is the flesh and blood, and sketching is the skeleton. There is nothing wrong with the three. ”
Gu Weijing quickly summed up the key points of line drawing.
Although there is only an extra sketch, compared with Western heavy color, the look and feel of the line drawing is better. Better, character buildingIt's also more realistic by more than an order of magnitude.
Sketch is called the foundation of modern painting.
If your ambition goes beyond flowers and grass, and you want to accurately restore buildings and characters, you will inevitably need the help of sketch lines.
When drawing a small flower or grass like a bean flower picture, if the lines are not three-dimensional and the proportions are not restored enough, it is actually nothing.
The audience will never regard bean curd as cauliflower.
However, architectural paintings and figure paintings, especially after incorporating oil painting techniques, will look similar but not like each other if the proportions and structure are wrong.
Then the audience may get goosebumps after watching it.
When a painting is very similar to a natural, living person, but not completely similar, it will immediately produce an uncontrollable emotional reaction of disgust and disgust in some people's hearts.
In psychology, this artistic impression is called the "uncanny valley" effect.
Oil painting teachers will say, either you should follow the realistic school, or you should not be realistic. You must not be half and half. This is true, but it is not completely absolute.
Art masters who are truly skilled in art can actively integrate this theory into their works long before it is studied by psychologists.
For example, the peerless old scumbag Picasso,
After he got tired of playing with a certain lover or wife, he liked to use this method to vilify and vilify them in his works. Demonized.
The most typical example is one of his works that was auctioned for US$78 million in 1997.
Picasso deliberately painted the leg structure and bones of his second wife, a beautiful Russian ballerina who made a living, incorrectly and deformed to make the audience look fearful in order to express himself A disgusting and distasteful feeling towards "women in marriage".
However, Gu Weijing is still far from the level of a great artist. If he wants to forcefully play with such advanced techniques, he can only imitate others, and he will definitely end up at his grandma's house.
What he is pursuing now is still the most basic painting portrait.
Gu Weijing carefully studied the two representative line drawings of Castiglione’s realistic characters in the exhibition: The Great Reading of Emperor Qianlong and the Picture of Concubine Xuan.
He compared the analysis of the new body paintings in his mind, slowly analyzed the beauty of these paintings, and considered how he should imitate them.
If you want to participate in the Lion City Art Exhibition, characters and architecture are indispensable.
The composition of the picture designed by collector Chen Shenglin for himself was so exquisite that Gu Weijing did not want to give up the original painting plan and paint some simple flowers and grass instead.
This is such a shame.
So line drawing is a level that I must pass.
The perspective structure and proportional lines of sketch can be closer to the scenes seen by the human eye in nature, and have inherent advantages in the ability to restore scenes.
This is the fastest way to capture the audience and judgesA shortcut at a glance.
Chinese painting pays more attention to charm and essence, which requires cultural accumulation and careful appreciation to see it.
It was quite difficult to integrate the two.
At this time, Mr. Cao pointed out the effectiveness of his extensive practice of line drawing and sketching, which combines sketching techniques and line drawing techniques.
Gu Weijing has drawn hundreds of line drawing sketches, and has already experienced the integration of Chinese painting strokes and sketching techniques. At this time, he can learn Lang Shining's painting ideas much faster.
"She's bored to death, help"
Gu Weijing was watching an art exhibition when a message came from his iad that someone had sent him a new message on social software.
He put away the picture album, opened the software and took a look, and found that it was a message from Miss Sakai.
Aside from writing papers and going to the studio to paint with Gu Weijing,
After Katsuko Sakai transferred to Dulwich College, she almost never participated in any group activities in the school. Neither grade groups nor class groups have been added.
Outside of the advanced class,
she almost maintained a zero-social attitude with other classmates in the same year.
So, there have been rumors in the school that Miss Sakai is quite aloof and does not like to make friends with others.
Miss Katsuko once complained to him, which was what her mother asked her to do.
Mrs. Sakai believes that since we are not from the same world, there is no benefit in getting too close to these Burmese natives.
Everyone will probably not see each other again after half a year, and it will be sad to actually make friends.
Besides,
My daughter is simple-minded. You treat others as friends, and others regard you as a way to get rich.
If in the future these people lick their faces and beg to come to your door and worry about whether to help or not, it is better to keep a distance as much as possible from the beginning, so that you are good to me and everyone is good.
Cold yet shrewd, cruel yet realistic, Mrs. Sakai’s signature way of doing things.
Think about it this way,
The two requirements that Mrs. Sakai set for herself in that original conversation really made her think highly of herself.
"I have been listening to the Emerald Lecture with my mother at sea for half an hour, and I am about to fall asleep." Sakai Katsuko made a sleepy expression.
Gu Weijing remembered that Miss Shengzi was dragged by her mother to play at the beach with Komatsu Taro today and did not come to school at all.
When it comes to students like Katsuko Sakai, who can be picked at any one of the top ten art academies in the world, it is surprising that he will not become a great artist in twenty years.
For the Yangon school, the willingness to transfer to Dulwich College is like smoke from the ancestral grave.
The school board wished that she could be worshiped as a little ancestor.
School rules and disciplines are just a joke to people. If they don’t want to come to school, there is absolutely no one who can’t think of taking care of them.
Gu Weijing closed the chat software and opened sI went to Sakai Katsuko’s homepage on tagra and saw that she had just updated her photo wall.
From the photo records,
Sakai Katsuko went to the seaside port to pick up shells in the morning.
The Aman Hotel has a large private golden beach in Yangon Port. Whenever the tide goes out, seashells of all sizes are left on the beach.
The photo with the most likes had more than 10,000 views within a few hours.
The temperature in March in Yangon is already quite high.
In the photo, Katsuko Sakai is wearing a one-piece beach swimsuit, with her straight thighs and arms exposed. Outside, I stepped on a large clam shell the size of a military drum with my bare feet, facing the sea, and raised my other calf high back.
I don’t know whether it was because Sakai Katsuko had just swam or because it was raining lightly.
Her hair was wet and stuck to the back of her neck, but her skin was white, moist and plump. The body forms a clear contrast with the golden beach and blue sea.
The photo of this scene is really like a marble statue of Venus, the goddess of beauty, on the seaside in a romantic oil painting. It is really beautiful.
Gu Weijing smiled, secretly liked the photo, and continued to scroll down the timeline.
Miss Sakai had paella at a beachside restaurant at noon, and went to sea with her mother in the afternoon.
Counting the time, she should be on a treasure ship when she sent a message to herself complaining that she was bored to death.
Gambling boats operating gambling houses in unregulated high seas are common in all countries in the world, but emerald treasure boats are unique to Myanmar.
Jade sales are a very profitable industry and are also the pillar of Myanmar's economy besides tourism.
According to legal regulations, all Myanmar jadeite mines are state-owned, and most of the private jadeite sales you can see are illegal.
So some have treasure ships specially for rich people.
Private mine owners will transport the best jade ore to a cruise ship registered in Cayman or Panama, and then sail it to the high seas to open some unregulated private sales for guests to choose their favorites. Jade.
For example, in the photo that Ms. Sakai just posted five minutes ago,
There is a manservant-like crew member next to Kosatsu Taro, holding a large plate of high-quality jade rings in his hand Noodles, bracelets and safety jade plaques, and the beauty of each piece of jewelry should be explained to the guests on the boat while foaming at the mouth.
Sakai Katsuko’s subtitles are very cute, iretendtoistenbutiasboredtodie. I listened really hard, but I was bored to death. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
