"In addition to working on your portfolio. Pay attention to what you submit to the interviewer at the school recruitment fair, and also include a creative sketchbook that records your thoughts and feelings when you draw your portfolio every day."
“Please don’t ignore the latter students. This is an important material for your students to prove to the interviewer that they are independent creatives rather than hired guns to outsource the design portfolio. Regarding the specific precautions for sketchbook, I will "Details will be explained in the following courses"
Although Professor Wattel, the teacher of the Dulwich sketch class, was frothing at the mouth while giving the lecture, and the chalk was bang bang bang bang on the blackboard very hard. Non-stop.
But on this warm afternoon in mid-March, everyone in the senior class still looked like they could not cheer up.
I could go to Dulwich College, but I was not selected into Mrs. Sakai’s gifted class.
In fact, most of the students sitting here have already decided on their next homes.
Except for higher tuition fees, foreign art academies are no different from ordinary Western comprehensive universities. They are easy on entry and strict on exit.
Especially for the large and small art academies in Milan and Florence, Italy, it is relatively easy to apply because of the policies of the Italian Ministry of Culture.
Of course, whether you can graduate smoothly after entering is another matter.
The application itself is not difficult.
With regard to the professional performance of ordinary students in Wattle's class, there is definitely little hope of applying to a top 100 prestigious school in the arts, no matter how hard they work or not.
But why have I paid high tuition fees to a private middle school for so many years?
They are still confident in applying to some low-ranking foreign art schools that have a cooperative relationship with Dulwich Education Group at the school recruitment fair and getting a small offer.
In the worst case, you can choose a university in Yangon.
Many people even know very well that they have no talent for painting at all, and they have very realistically given up on being a painter and signing for a gallery. These are completely unrealistic expectations.
Even their parents have planned since they were in school to let their children use their status as art students as a springboard.
After going to college, let them switch to other majors such as interior design, animation, game interaction, and civil engineering that are easier to make money.
Even the sketching professor on stage is known as being old-fashioned and serious among teachers at Dulwich.
After the initial excitement of taking the class passed, the students in the large classroom still couldn’t help but fish.
There was a sleepy atmosphere in the air, and many people were shaking their heads little by little, trying hard to fight against the heavy eyelids.
A girl with braided hair put her arms under her chin, holding a pen in her hand. She struggled to raise her head, but her eyelids had long been stuck together, and she was snoring softly.
A few boys who felt that the class was really boring simply gathered together in the back row of the classroom, rubbing the glass of their mobile phones.The online mobile game of Fortnite.
"Huh"
Professor Vatel, whose hair was curled and resembled the Golden Retriever Lion King in Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts, glanced at the people in the audience dissatisfied.
He realized that if he kept talking like this dryly, he would hypnotize everyone in the classroom.
"Such an important content about the school recruitment fair is not pleasant to listen to."
Professor Vatel was a little angry.
He originally wanted to perform a lion's roar and roar to wake up these little bastards, but he sighed again.
"Forget it."
This is already the graduation season of the thirteenth grade, and many of the students who are doing it are adults.
I don’t want to work hard, and there is no point in being a bad person like him as a professor.
“Good words can’t persuade a damned person.”
Except for a few good kids in the classroom, Professor Wattel doesn’t expect these low-achieving students to apply. What a great school to earn yourself bonuses for outstanding teachers.
Get out of school within a hundred days at most.
If you don’t want to hear it, just ask for it.
Thinking like this in my heart,
After all, Professor Vatel is still a good and responsible teacher.
He hesitated for a moment and stopped talking dryly about the notes in the portfolio on the blackboard, preparing to change to something more interesting.
"Okay, let's talk about the interview at the school recruitment fair. In previous years, the examiners would ask some questions about art history during the interview, such as giving you a painting. , let you tell about his origin, creative background, collection history, etc., or ask you to tell stories about the works of your favorite famous painters."
Professor Vatel opened the laptop and brought up the projector. .
“It’s useless to try to solve this problem before the battle. You need to rely on daily accumulation. There are still a few months left, and we will try to memorize a painting every morning and evening.”
“Everyone is. You are a professional art student. You are not an ordinary person, so don’t expect the examiner to ask you simple questions like Mona Lisa and Night Patrol.”
“Let’s get familiar with a few questions and test them by the way. Your knowledge base. These works are classic paintings that have been taught in school before. Let’s see how many of them you remember.”
Watter used the touch pad to open the electronic painting album on the computer and looked at the dazzling array of paintings. , picked for a while.
Finally, he chose a portrait of a woman wearing a red silk coat, a hoop necklace hanging around her neck, and a golden floral accessory tied with a thin hairband in the center of her forehead.
"Here, who of you can tell me specific information about this work? The more detailed the better."
"Miss Kou Kou"
Wattel He walked off the podium and tapped the desk of the sleeping little girl with braids with the tip of the chalk.
“Your face is about to be dyed into a kitten by the ink on the pen tip.. ”
“What”
Kou Kou woke up from her sweet afternoon dream and straightened up in fear.
She turned her head, and then looked at the girl next to her. The girl pulled a pencil case from the table.
Kouko put her face towards it and used the mirror-like smooth metal surface of the pencil case to shine on her face.
Finding that the skin was as white and tender as freshly peeled egg white, Kou Kou said happily, "What, sister, I'm scared to death." "
"Miss Koko is in class. What did you do last night? "Vettel's tone rose, he was very dissatisfied, feeling that his anger tank was about to be filled.
"Ah, oh, Professor, I'm sorry, sorry, I'm sorry. ”
Coco finally woke up from her confusion.
She suddenly remembered that she was in class, and immediately stood up and apologized to Professor Wattel.
“Last night, a big French food blogger made puffs live on TikTok, which was very popular. I followed suit and learned from it. I didn’t expect that it was quite time-consuming, so I finished it a little late. Sorry, professor, but it tastes good. Why don't you take one to relieve your anger? ”
While Kou Kou was speaking, she actually pulled out a plastic food box with a coffee cat sticker from the desk under the desk, and handed it pitifully to Professor Wattel.
There was a burst of laughter in the classroom.
Professor Wattle was also amused.
Looking at the small lunch box handed over by the girl, he wanted to continue to lose his temper, but stopped. I can’t express it.
That’s what Ms. Kou Kou has.
She is the type who accepts things with an open mind and refuses to change.
Skateboarding in the corridor. On the wall, she painted graffiti on the coffee cat and the puppy named Milu from The Adventures of Tintin. Koko is a little expert at violating school rules and disciplines on the Dulwich campus. She also disdains the discipline of Mona, the president of the student union. Gu.
But whenever she was caught by a teacher violating discipline, Kou Kou never held her tongue and had a very good attitude in admitting her mistakes.
While apologizing, she pathetically used the water-filled lips. She looked at the teacher with big eyes.
Teacher Feng Ji couldn't bear to punish her too harshly.
It wasn't a principled mistake anyway. Nvwazi apologized so sincerely, sir. He raised his hand and let her go.
Don’t worry,
As soon as she disappears from the teacher’s sight, she will definitely go her own way.
"You.
Professor Vatel shook his head, "Forget it, next time you want to sleep, go to the back and don't get in the way of me." Now, since you stand up, answer my question, can you identify the origin of the painting on the projector?"
"Well, the professor asked me to think about it. "
Kouko sniffed and felt that the portrait on the projector looked familiar, but couldn't remember the exact origin for a while.
"It seems to be called the beautiful Mrs. So-so-so.Come on, I remember it should be the work of Leonardo da Vinci, probably this one. "
Koko said hesitantly.
"Yes, you can remember that this is a work by Leonardo da Vinci. "Professor Vatel said half mockingly, half jokingly, "At least I didn't go to the Academy of Fine Arts in vain. ”
“For the interview at the school recruitment fair, if you can tell the full name of Mrs. So-so-so. I could probably give you a three. Now, I can only give you one or two points. This means failing. ”
“Failure means you may lose the offer. ”
“Sorry, Professor, I really can’t remember.” "Koko stuck out her tongue.
"Okay, in order to prevent our Miss Koko from not going to college. Gentlemen present, is there anyone willing to lend a helping hand?" The professor glanced at everyone.
The classroom was silent for a few seconds.
When Professor Wattel began to feel very disappointed At that time.
A voice came from the back row, "The beautiful Madame Ferronnier is considered to be a work practiced by Leonardo da Vinci in the Milan studio, with excessive light and shadow and the arc of the woman's lips. It has the shadow of the Mona Lisa, so it is also speculated by some people in the academic community to be the predecessor of the Mona Lisa. ”
“b is very good. This is the answer I want. By the way, I am also impressed by the sketch assignments you submit every time.” rGu. "Professor Vatel's face showed a look of satisfaction, and he praised.
"Miss Koko, congratulations, you can sit down. Gu Weijing, do you have anything else you can add?"
The professor asked with a smile.
Kou Kou shook her braid and glanced at the back of the classroom with an unknown meaning. He took his seat.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Weijing in the back row continued to add, "There is still some controversy about the identity of the portrait owner of this painting and whether it is an authentic work by Leonardo da Vinci. It was once in the royal collection of King Louis XIV of France, and a replica was painted at that time. The replica is currently in the Chambery Museum. The original painting is now housed in the National Gallery of Abu Dhabi, commonly known as the Louvre Abu Dhabi. ”
“Perfect 5 points, this is an unquestionable 5-point answer, even the inheritance is stated, it is so perfect. Let us give classmate Gu Weijing a little applause. "
Professor Vatel did not hide his satisfaction and clapped his hands gently.
"Come on, Gu Weijing, keep working hard, even if you fail to be beaten by Mrs. Cruz Selected to participate in her genius improvement class, I still think that if anyone here has the potential to be admitted to one of the top 70 prestigious QS art schools, then it is you. ”
Professor Vatel returned to the podium and pressed the Enter key.
Detailed information about the beautiful Mrs. Ferronnier appeared on the projector screen. Including the artist, the year of creation, the art school and the museum to which the modern collection belongs.
It is exactly the same as what Gu Weijing said.
"I have nothing to say about this painting, so let's move on to the next one."
Gu Weijing, who was sitting alone at the back of the classroom, noticed that there were many people He was looking at himself with surprised eyes.
They were whispering quietly.
"Wow, robot, you can remember all this, real or fake."
"You are a nerd."
"You are jealous Well, Professor Wattel said that he might be able to apply to one of the top 70 prestigious schools."
"The professor just encouraged you, but you will lose if you don't listen to the previous seniors. As they say, without a letter of recommendation that is significant enough, interviewers from top universities won’t even bother to look at your portfolio. That’s nonsense.”
Gu Weijing shook his head expressionlessly.
In fact, if Professor Vatel asked about other works, he should be able to answer the name, creator and painting school, which would be pretty good.
The fact that he was able to come up with such a perfect answer was a bit of a coincidence.
Gu Weijing saw that Professor Vatel seemed to be immersed in the courseware and had no intention of asking questions, so he inserted a wireless earphone into his left ear.
He took out his mobile phone, opened the official homepage of the Louvre Abu Dhabi, and clicked on the most prominent promotional video.
“The Louvre Abu Dhabi is an unprecedented thirty-year adventure in the history of art, France’s largest overseas cultural project in history, and the pursuit of dreams in the Arab world.”
< p>As the accompanying symphonic dubbing sounded.The video starts playing.
A grand building made of steel comes into view. This is a bird's-eye view of the museum built on a project costing nearly 10 billion US dollars from an aerial lens on a photography helicopter.
The museum was designed by Jean Nouvel, a famous contemporary architect and winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. It was built above the water and was inspired by an island called Saadiyat Island located at the junction of the ocean and the desert. lagoon island.
The overall appearance looks very similar to the combination of the Eastern Xia Bird's Nest and the glass pyramid in front of the Louvre.
After a few seconds of overhead view.
The picture first showed the four-color flag of the United Arab Emirates and the three-color flag of the French government, as well as the Arabic and French official names of the museum, Arabic and French ouvreaboudabi.
Then the screen goes black briefly.
There seemed to be an invisible pen swiping across the screen, and the new text anac039hgaery appeared in gold-painted squiggles
"Mashi Gallery, modern art gallery industry The pioneers of "The cradle of artists"
"Damon Clarkson, Widitch Bullitt, Leonard Frank"
The video begins to look like opening a physical album. Same, turning page after page of portraits of artists and theirPictures of representative works.
The founder of the modern gallery industry, this title is a bit self-proclaimed by Mashi Gallery.
However, it is undeniable that this historic gallery had a very glorious history.
Many of the names flashing on the screen are very famous artists in the history of modern and contemporary art. Everyone who studies art will bow their heads in awe in front of such a star-studded list.
There is a slight flaw. If one uses 05x slow-motion playback and takes a closer look at the time when the great painters joined Mashi Gallery, they will find that a large number of them were concentrated before the 1980s and 1990s.
It was the most star-studded and glorious day of Ma Shi Gallery.
After the turn of the millennium, there will only be a few artists who are represented by the first- and second-tier major painters.
The picture finally settled on the name Dike Anlun.
"This summer, Abu Dhabi, the inventor of the modern art gallery, will redefine modern art for you."
The subtitles flowed.
The drums of the symphony began to become high-pitched and passionate. When the pianist struck thunderous drums in the bass area, a new line of text appeared on the screen.
"Louvre Abu Dhabi, Dyke Allen's personal art exhibition."
"Let modern art start again"
The video then comes to an end and begins Jump out to the ticket booking channel, personal art exhibition exhibition time and other detailed information.
"That's great," Gu Weijing sighed in his heart and clenched his fists slightly.
In the past week, he had watched this video countless times, but every time it was played, Gu Weijing felt his blood pumping and his heart beating like a drum, and he couldn't help but be excited.
If a painter were asked to openly analyze his deepest dream without being shy
The answer would probably be cliché.
Artists are also human beings. They only want to make money, win prizes, and hold art exhibitions.
If you ask what your ultimate dream is
The answer may be
Make a lot of money and sell your works for 100 million US dollars
p>
Winning a big prize, winning the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Biennale;
Opening a huge art exhibition, and having the Louvre hold a personal art exhibition for him.
This is the highest honor in the art world.
If you can collect any one or two of these three items, the British may be buried in Westminster Abbey, and the French may take half a century. The government A parliamentary proposal will be discussed so that the body can be moved to the Pantheon.
It is no easier to hold an art exhibition in the Louvre than to sell works of art for 100 million US dollars.
Uncle Sakai has sold more than 100 million US dollars in sales of his works, and he dare not say that he will have the opportunity to hold an art exhibition in the Louvre in his lifetime.
It is true,
There is still a big difference between this Louvre and the Louvre in France.
But don’t think that the village chief is not a cadre.
The 985 branch is also 985, and the Louvre Abu Dhabi is also the Louvre.
This is not a knockoff.
In order to cooperate with France, the UAE royal family has injected enough cultural symbols into the new museum in its capital to attract the world's attention.
People’s museums can also do joint ventures.
Just to be able to use the name "Louvre", the United Arab Emirates paid France 600 million euros for the co-branding fee alone.
It’s not a purchase,
It’s just a lease to use it for the next thirty years.
Who dares to say that the Louvre Abu Dhabi is not the Louvre? Even if you ask the French government, they will not give the second official answer.
Excluding the "Louvre" gimmick.
The museum itself is also the most modern, grand and eye-catching art center on the Arabian Peninsula.
The scale of the exhibits may not be comparable to that of the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in France. But looking at the world, there is no doubt that it will not be ranked in the top ten, but it will be ranked in the top thirty or fifty.
Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting, rent
Napoleon’s classic portrait of the prancing horse, rent
Van Gogh’s self-portrait, rent
Mont All of Derrian's most classic geometric paintings were rented to me
The Louvre Abu Dhabi is probably the strangest art museum in the world.
Academic circles describe an institution like the British Museum as a robbery-style collection in which a group of armed robbers burst into other people's homes and plundered all the artworks.
Even in the twenty-first world, it still has an imperial background that is difficult to wash away.
With a piece of cloth on their heads, the richest oil tycoons in the world have created an unprecedented way of opening a museum.
Let money speak for itself. If you can afford it, buy it at a high price.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to sell it or not, it’s a national treasure. Then I’ll rent it at a high price.
The Louvre Abu Dhabi has just been put into operation in 2017, and now it has a collection of famous paintings.
It is an extremely high honor for all famous painters in the world to hold a personal art exhibition in an exhibition hall with the imprint of so many masters.
Gu Weijing pulled out a promotional page printed on copperplate paper from the textbook.
The personal art exhibition of "ditationsonhistory" by Mashi Gallery's agent artist Dai Ke Anlun.
202359202379
The promotional page is printed extremely beautifully, in black and white and color. Made of color matching.
An invisible dividing line splits the main exhibition hall of the Louvre Abu Dhabi. Two figures stand with their backs facing each other, one on the left and one on the right.
The person standing on the black and white side is wearing a baggy linen top and long-legged pantyhose, with messy hair.An old man with bad hair.
This kind of dress is the most common dress for Italian men during the Renaissance, and this old man represents Leonardo da Vinci.
The middle-aged man standing sideways in the color photo on the right is naturally Deke Anlun, the current leading artist of Ma Shi Gallery.
There are two picture frames on the promotional page.
The one in front of Leonardo da Vinci is exactly the beautiful Fei that Professor Vattel mentioned as the treasure of the Louvre Abu Dhabi. Mrs. Longnier.
The oil painting frame in front of Dyke Anlen was covered with a mysterious brown velvet cloth.
This promotional page with a sense of design and a solemn atmosphere like a religious ceremony was a gift from the boss of Max III to Gu Weijing through his agent Hanks.
Mashi Gallery and Louvre Abu Dhabi have a long-term strategic partnership.
From May to July this year, just after the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Mas Gallery will hold a personal art exhibition for its leading artist.
If Gu Weijing could win an award at the Lion City Art Exhibition.
Next year,
Ma Shi Gallery will give this opportunity to Gu Weijing.
At the age of 19, he held his own personal art exhibition at the Louvre.
