"I forgot to mention it in class just now. You, you, you and you, give me the portfolios you have prepared. If you don't bring them today, then bring them to the next class. I have some free time on the weekend, okay? Check the progress of your portfolio."
Professor Vatel returned to the classroom without looking at the students who were playing games under the table or sleeping secretly.
He just walked between the desks and called a few names.
From the first week after the course started, the classwork was actually very sparse.
Drawing grids with a sketch pencil is a very laborious task.
In terms of training techniques, it is not too difficult. It is not as difficult as painting a complicated still life arrangement, and it is not as difficult as painting the complicated small wrinkles on the face of an old man or an old lady.
But it’s boring.
The main test is calmness.
Every practitioner needs to be able to calm down and endure loneliness.
It is definitely not easy to paint well and quickly, and you need to be at the level of a professional painter. These high school students blindly pursue speed and are prone to lose sight of the other, resulting in a mess.
But if you are serious enough and are not afraid of the long painting time, you can stabilize your mind and paint slowly one stroke at a time.
So even a beginner who has just learned art can still start such exercises and draw well.
"It depends on whether they have this intention." Teacher Watter thought to himself.
"Teacher, this is unfair. Why did you only show it to these students and not to the rest of us." Some students were dissatisfied with the sketch teacher's blatant treatment of classmates and muttered in a low voice.
Professor Vatel shook his head, his square face full of disdain.
"Anyone else who wants me to see your portfolio has all the assignments you submitted in my office. Go look for them now. If you can find more than eight pieces of assignments that you think you are serious about , I will correct it for you even if you don’t sleep today. If you can’t find it, shut up.”
Vatel suppressed all the dissatisfied opinions with a expressionless expression.
He doesn't like those ordinary students who have no talent and can't even make the most basic efforts.
If you want to stay in the art industry for a long time, hard work is the bottom line for success.
Only by putting in 99% of your efforts can you be qualified to gain a 1% chance of luck and appreciation from noble people.
Otherwise, how can you compare with those talented geniuses who are born to eat this bowl of rice?
This is not a game of the tortoise and the hare.
Privately, other geniuses might be better than you.
Professor Vatel himself is the kind of art student who has not had enough luck despite working hard.
He knew that his sketching skills were above the qualification level required to be signed by a gallery, but he was not lucky enough to be noticed by a hunting agent.
In the end, I could only be a student in a private school with a low monthly salary.Not a bad art teacher.
Therefore, Professor Vatel had a little more understanding and sympathy in his heart for those children who were not lucky enough to be selected by Mrs. Sakai’s advanced class, but still worked meticulously.
We are all just ordinary people who work hard enough but are not lucky enough.
He is planning to select a few students in the classroom who have listened carefully to the lectures and handed in their homework seriously in the past few days.
Teacher Wattel hopes that they can hand in the portfolio of works they are preparing and review it themselves.
The meticulous follow-up and revision of student art collections is also very energy-consuming.
Teachers teaching large classes do not have the responsibility for private instruction.
Professor Wattle is still willing to give them a small talk, telling them about his personal creative experience and some tips when applying for interviews.
God will help those who help themselves.
Children who are willing to seize every opportunity to work hard, as a teacher, are willing to take the trouble to help when they can.
"Gu Weijing"
Professor Vatel walked around the classroom and finally walked to the corner of the classroom.
He was satisfied when he saw Gu Weijing practicing carefully on the sketch paper.
Just when he was about to reach out and knock on the desk to remind the boy, Professor Wattel's hand suddenly stopped.
The sketch professor stared at the tip of Gu Weijing's pen.
When Wattel first took a look when he walked in, he just realized that Gu Weijing’s drawing method on the sketch paper was not what he requested.
The final painting effect seems to be pretty good.
What is even more attractive to the professor is that he has a confident temperament when he writes and writes.
"You are not very old, but you are a bit like an artist when you are painting." Professor Vatel smiled kindly in his heart.
But when Professor Watter stood in front of Gu Weijing, he concentrated on it again.
The whole person is in a state of excitement.
"Uh"
His breathing paused suddenly, his pupils were shaking, and his fluffy and messy blond hair was about to explode from the roots.
Professor Vatel felt like he had been slapped in the face. He was dizzy and in a daze.
What is this?
Gan, this is the sketching class assignment I assigned
How can this thing be drawn like this
Hey,
How did you draw this?
Professor Vatel looked at the squares on the paper covered with various lines, and the fine lines came out from the center point. , radiating out to the surroundings, forming a triangular plane with different shadow details.
The two-dimensional plane shows the texture of the three-dimensional space.
Obviously there is just a small square in front of you.
Professor Vatel can even artistically imagine it to look like the Pyramid of Khufu overlooking Egypt from the sky at sunset.
The sunshine flows insurface.
The different mottled surfaces of the square pyramid form different contrasts of light and dark due to the different intensity of light.
This sketch is not an exercise in brushwork. The small grids filled with Gu Weijing’s personal creativity can, in Professor Watter’s eyes, be separated from the scope of practice and can be regarded as a simple geometric sketch. Painted.
The sketch itself is good, but not to the point where Professor Wattel should be so shocked.
To be honest,
it is just a top view of a four-sided pyramid with light and shadow effects.
Drawing geometric plaster models, cones, spheres and even various crooked and asymmetrical figures are the basic skills for art students to learn sketching.
The base is a square pyramid with no curved surface, and the changes in light and shadow are not complicated.
Any kid from Dulwich’s sixth and seventh grade art classes can draw such an overhead view without shadows.
What really made Professor Vatter feel so shocked that he wanted to swallow his tongue into his mouth
He could see that from beginning to end, everything in this sketch was The strokes are all drawn by Gu Weijing with an ordinary 2b pencil
Due to different production processes, graphite pencils are thicker and softer as the b value is larger, and harder and softer as the h value is larger. light.
The soft and hard texture of the pen tip can also bring lead with different adhesion, leaving different thicknesses of picture grains on the sketch paper.
Theoretically,
when painting on a brighter surface or when in-depth modification of details of the work is required, it is suitable to use a high-hardness lead core.
Use a darker graphite pen on the backlit surface.
Usually 6b to 4h pencils are a common choice for art students when drawing sketches, used to draw different light and shadow changes.
Gu Weijing most likely did it for the convenience of drawing grids. He only used a sketching pencil to complete all the work.
It is also very well done
The three colors of black, white and gray can be seen in the top view of the square pyramid in the picture.
Essentially, a pen creates different layers of lead attached to the paper based on the density of the lines and the weight of the strokes, thus showing the gradient of light and shadow.
The precision of this brushwork is simply amazing
“Outrageous.”
Professor Vattle has always been impressed by his sketching techniques. Level and arrogant.
Even compared to professors on the campuses of Dulwich College in more developed cities such as Cairo, Bangkok, and Yokohama, Wattel said that his sketching level is comparable.
Looking at the whole of Myanmar, there are absolutely few people who can have his writing skills.
Walter quietly estimated in his mind that if he was given enough time, he might be able to draw at most the level of the student in front of him with a sketch pencil.
And Gu Weijing even did this short lesson in classIn a short period of time, he painted in a small square that was restricted everywhere
All the traces of his brushstrokes were "full".
Neither overstepping the bounds, nor falling short in the slightest.
The movement stopped abruptly at the border of the grid, as if it had hit a wall of air.
The charming swirling lines drawn by Gu Weijing on other grids reminded Professor Wattel directly of Van Gogh.
It’s just that the whirlpool of Gu Weijing’s brushwork does not have the impulse and passion of Van Gogh, but it is more regular and concise than Van Gogh.
Van Gogh liked to use swirls to depict thick and compact pines and cypresses.
The lines drawn by Gu Weijing are as fine and dense as the gentle wind mowing the grass.
There is a flowing rhythm in the still pictures.
The curves are infinitely close to each other with an accuracy of half a millimeter, but they are also separated from each other, making Professor Wattel's eyes seem to be easily caught.
Oh my god
Professor Vatel opened his mouth. He had thousands of words to say, and his mind seemed to be filled with a whole book of One Hundred Thousand Whys.
The words were stuck in my throat. In the end, by some strange combination of circumstances, he transformed into the vocabulary he had learned a few years ago from the parents of an Eastern Xia businessman who had been engaged in jade and stone gambling business in Yangon for a long time.
“Nebee is awesome.”
< p>The old professor let out a sound of praise.Gu Weijing was painting so well that he didn’t even notice Professor Wattel running up to him.
The sudden "Awesome" sound startled him so much that he didn't even throw the pencil away.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw the sketch professor staring at him with his big eyes like bells.
Professor Vatel took away the sketch paper in front of Gu Weijing.
The teacher didn’t speak either.
The professor just stared at the sketch paper in front of him for a few seconds, then turned to glare at Gu Weijing, then stared at the sketch paper, and then stared at Gu Weijing.
It just keeps looping with weird behavior, like a buggy robot.
Gu Weijing was a little embarrassed by the old gentleman.
"Professor, I'm sorry, I want to try a different painting method. Do you have any good guidance or suggestions?"
Gu Weijing took the initiative to break this weirdness. atmosphere.
"I'm sorry for drawing like this. Do you have anything to be sorry for?"
Professor Vatel chuckled and shook the paper in his hand. "I'm sorry that Dulwich College can only send teachers of my level to teach you"
"Ask me for any good guidance, classmate, I can't draw such a painting. Hell, I can He still lectured on the stage for so many days without any shame." Professor Watter smiled bitterly.
"Otherwise, you should teach me. There is no need for you to take this class."
His words were a joke.There is a sense of sincerity in the air.
In modern schools,
it is not surprising that students are stronger than teachers in academic subjects.
Whether it is due to extracurricular self-study or tutoring and cram school, many top students can solve difficult problems that even the teachers cannot solve.
If you compete in the Olympiad, you can win provincial awards or even join the national training team, and it will not be too easy to kill an ordinary high school physics and high school chemistry teacher in an instant.
Art is a special case.
Because art is really a purely technical subject.
Whether it is art or music, the accumulation of techniques requires time.
At the same time, if students do not have the guidance of a better teacher than him. The pace of progress will slow down, and you may not even know where the direction of your efforts should be.
Ordinary people don’t have such a simple and crude way to gain experience through the system.
The general rule is that art subjects often need to change teachers after they have learned a certain level.
Those musical geniuses and artistic geniuses in history, the first violinists of symphony orchestras, and the students from prestigious schools who have been admitted to the four major art academies have had five or six private teachers at different stages of their studies since they were young. It is just a common thing. .
When I first started learning from a certain teacher, I learned so well that the teacher couldn’t teach me. It is not uncommon in the art industry to be recommended to study with a teacher’s teacher.
Otherwise, like Katsuko Sakai, he has studied with famous masters since he was a child.
"Nowadays, every student draws like this. Damn, with such a high standard, I, as a teacher, am under a lot of pressure."
Although I don't want to admit it.
After carefully studying Gu Weijing’s works, Professor Kewater came to a conclusion.
This guy’s sketching skills should be better than mine.
Mr. Wattle’s appearance was noticed by all the students, and there were also murmurs of surprise in the Dulwich classroom.
They have been taking classes in school for so many years. How could they ever see the arrogant German sketch professor showing such an expression towards a student's work?
Gu Weijing is one of those with good grades, and his evaluation in sketching classes is often A.
He is not the only one who can get an A.
Those who were selected by Mrs. Sakai to improve their classes, none of them have ever made Professor Wattel so rude.
Did this kid suddenly take the elixir?
"You are overly complimentary."
As the focus of people's discussion, Gu Weijing was actually criticized by Watt. Professor Er felt a little embarrassed when he praised me.
This old gentleman still took good care of himself in the past.
"I have also thought about reputation. With line skills, you can draw whatever you want, and the pen and ink on the paper are the least deceptive. It is difficult for me to draw this sketch so well." ”
Professor Vatel clicked his tongue.strange.
Facing such a level of sketching, Professor Vatel even felt a little guilty.
I am really not qualified to teach such students. I just want to mislead others and delay others.
In addition to being embarrassed, Professor Vatel was more confused and puzzled.
He is clear about the overall level of graduating students. Gu Weijing is considered one of the good prospects, but his level still needs to be polished.
It has only been a holiday, and
The painting in Wattel’s hands has grown from a good seedling to a trunk, branches and leaves.
The towering tree is too praised, and it can be seen that the prototype of a mature artist is really not fake at all.
It also grows too fast.
"Gu Weijing, did your family hire an external tutor for you during the holidays, or attend some art training classes?"
Professor Vatel guessed.
He was curious about what kind of sketching tutor could have such good results.
If you really have a famous teacher to train you, your progress will be as strong as taking an aphrodisiac.
Professor Vatel is also planning to sign up for a class for himself, even if it costs hundreds or thousands of dollars, he is happy to do so.
Professor Vatel spent most of his life on a pencil.
At his age, he doesn’t really think about signing for galleries or anything like that. Simply touching the higher realm of sketching techniques is always very good.
"I just figured it out on my own, and I got a feeling as I drew."
"That's it, it means I suddenly realized it. Your enlightenment is a bit fierce."
Teacher Wattle’s face showed a layer of disappointment.
The professor had an answer in his mind.
The art industry pays attention to inspiration and epiphany.
The urban legend that Mozart fell down the stairs when he was a child and hit his head and became a musical prodigy is not very credible.
It often happens that an art student suddenly seems to have an enlightenment while painting, and his painting skills suddenly jump to a higher level in a short period of time.
Facing the facts before him,
Professor Vatel can only attribute the answer to this reason.
"Look at this painting. I asked you to use a pencil to paint small grids, but you all find it hard and tired, and are unwilling to practice. At first glance, they all look like the three melons in my own painting. Both of them are already good enough to be on the stage.”
“Look at the sketches of some of your classmates who come to class every day with a backpack on their backs. I don’t expect you to be able to do it. The painting looks like Gu Weijing, but I ask you to open your eyes and take a good look at this round brush and this exquisite control. Who said that if you are not selected by Professor Cruz, you can't shine on your own?"
Professor Vatel felt a little happy looking at this sketch.
He couldn't help but show off the paper in front of him to all the students present.
In the teaching profession, there are very few teachers who don’t like good students.
They are so dizzy when they grade failed homework every day. When they see a perfect score paper, their ears and eyes are clear.
In addition to the "bonuses" and "excellent teacher" titles that students from famous schools can receive, it is also very satisfying to simply look at their homework.
It’s like practicing the trumpet in the game and practicing the perfect trumpet.
Professor Vatel is really excited now.
"It's awesome. This painting that demonstrates the basic skills of sketching can be hung directly on the school's publicity board to show the results of our school's sketching teaching," he said.
"Wow, it's so beautiful."
"This whirlpool makes my eyes dizzy."
Some students agreed.
"You didn't ask us to draw like this. It's just that the lines are a little messier. If you draw slower, everyone can draw it." Some people still disagree.
Appreciating beauty is also a kind of cultivation.
But such cultivation is never possessed by everyone.
"Everyone can draw it." Professor Watter laughed angrily, "If you don't look at anything else, just with this sketch, the interviewer at the school recruitment fair will snatch him away, believe it or not."
The professor did not say the last half of the sentence.
With this hand sketch, most, maybe all, of the other people here may not be able to draw it in a lifetime.
The art industry is so cruel.
"You don't need to pay attention to my homework from now on. This painting of yours is useful, so I took it."
Professor Vattle is not interested in interacting with those who put masterpieces in front of them. , the losers who were unwilling to lower their heads to appreciate it explained the beauty of Gu Weijing's pen.
He took away Gu Weijing's sketch paper, turned around and walked out of the classroom.
"Hey, classmate Gu. Why are you avoiding me?"
Gu Weijing walked out of the classroom, which was starting to become noisy.
This was originally a class assignment. Since he wanted to draw it like this, he expected that Professor Vatel would be surprised.
I just didn’t expect Professor Wattel to deal with his work in such a high-profile manner.
Gu Weijing was not used to dealing with this kind of scene where classmates gathered around him. He quickly walked around a few corners and hurriedly walked into a secluded corridor.
He suddenly felt someone patting his back.
Gu Weijing turned his head and saw Kou Kou standing behind him.
I have to say that the style of dressing is really the innate ability or talent of some girls.
Obviously everyone wears the same school uniform every day, but the cheerleader can wear it with a different effect every day.
Koko did not wear her favorite iconic cool little skull earrings today. Instead, she had a small sequin-like ear patch stuck to her earlobe.
Wearing a baseball cap on his head, his long hair was braided from the back of his head to his shoulders.
She wore the pants she wore during the sketching class today, and there were several holes in her knees and calves.
Don’t be surprised, the girl did it on purpose.
Kou Kou manually transformed the cotton school pants into trendy ripped jeans. Paired with the white magnolia brooch on her chest, it looks like a mix of fashion and sports.
Sometimes, it really makes people feel sad that it would be a pity for Kou Kou not to become a versatile female star in the future.
"Professor Vatel actually doesn't require much classwork now, and many students in the class don't take their drawings seriously. So I don't think you need to ask me for homework, Kouko."
Gu Weijing smiled.
Since half a month ago, he has deliberately avoided the seat next to Kou Kou.
Kou Kou rolled her eyes at Gu Weijing.
She took a step forward, pushed Gu Weijing to the wall, and stretched out her hand to lean against the wall.
Practicing dance and fencing has made Kou Kou's figure very smooth. Her figure is originally taller than Katsuko Sakai, about 1.72 meters. When he stood on tiptoes, he was on the same level as Gu Weijing.
Kou Kou succeeded with a wall-dong.
"Answer my question." Kou Kou leaned her arms forward, leaning on the wall with one hand, looking directly into Gu Weijing's eyes, "Why are you hiding from me." Please remember to bookmark, website The latest and fastest free reading without anti-theft
