Professor Vatel silently flipped through the thick file in his hand, not knowing what kind of comment he should make at this moment.
Professor Watter came to the principal to see if he could hire a better sketch teacher for Gu Weijing.
He didn’t know why Mrs. Sakai’s advanced class didn’t choose to recruit Gu Weijing as a student. It would be great if the principal could open his mouth and send Gu Weijing into Mrs. Sakai’s hands.
At the very least, the principal can write a letter of recommendation to Gu Weijing himself.
Children like this deserve a better stage by nature, sign up for galleries in the future, and take the art route.
The world's top-ranked art school is his stage.
You can find master-level teachers there, and you can easily find better opportunities to become famous than in Yangon.
Art history is a strange circle between researchers in the scientific community and academia. Who is more powerful is not worth discussing at all.
There is no precise conclusion on who is better between academics and artists who practice Yehu Zen on the streets.
Usually the former's skills will be stronger, but the genius who can rewrite the history of art will never fall into this "normal" category.
Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.
Since the end of the Middle Ages, the main thread of the story of artistic trends has always been similar.
Various scattered artists and small unsuccessful painting schools emerged from among the people.
From being suppressed by academics in mainstream painting schools and art academies, to conquering the citizens with the expressiveness of their works and Niu’s effervescent talent, and forming a trend to follow them, to being criticized by some people in power Or the attention and sponsorship of famous collectors in history such as the Medici family, the Scrovegni family, and the Ileana family.
In the end, he became a new academic school, and then began to suppress other small painters
From fighting the evil dragon to becoming the evil dragon, they are in a continuous spiral cycle.
In one story, a new school of painting set off radical changes in art. In the next story a hundred years later, it turned into a stubborn academic boss that the new generation of artists clamored to overthrow.
It is a bit of black humor that follows the historical cycle of dynasties.
In the late 19th century, the industrial age began.
Impressionism, Romanticism, Aestheticism, Critical Realism
Almost the historical trends in the East and the West are various folk unorthodox art circles, and they are facing the officialdom of the Academy of Fine Arts. The great professors in the salons launched attacks and academic criticisms, and beat them to the ground for the great revolution.
The paradoxical thing is.
Many outsiders do not realize that since the Impressionist generation of folk artists withdrew from the scene, almost all the famous artists born after the painting world have professional backgrounds and prestigious school backgrounds. .
Anyone in the past half centuryThe darlings at the auction are all art students who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts.
There are very few people who switch careers from being a missionary like Van Gogh, or from being an apprentice in a porcelain shop like Renoir.
The public image of artists like Damien Hirst and Kas in the mass media is already quite "rock".
When Hester was young, he was a gang member, stealing and stealing, and was imprisoned twice.
This kind of resume can easily be regarded as some little bastard who didn’t attend prenatal education.
But I’m sorry,
I am a serious graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts, University of London, which is ranked among the top ten in the world.
Painters have begun to become like technical professions such as lawyers and doctors, which generally emphasize "going to college to change your destiny."
The more prestigious a graduate is, the more popular they are.
Well-known galleries tend to give priority to students with backgrounds from prestigious schools.
After students from the visual arts departments of the world's four major art academies graduate, as long as their level is acceptable, the works in the graduation exhibition will show some of their own characteristics.
It’s too high to expect. In an art and creative park in a metropolitan area, it’s not difficult to sign up for a medium-sized ordinary city gallery.
Professor Vattle thinks.
Given Gu Weijing’s current level of painting, it would be unfair to Gu Weijing and his painting skills if he had not applied to some powerful art schools.
Now that he saw the document in his hand, he could only smile bitterly again and again.
There is no need to speak anymore.
In Dulwich College’s own evaluation system, joining the official art association organized by local professional artists is an achievement comparable to high-level athletes such as professional baseball students who are sought after across the United States.
Although not every European and American country recognizes the value of being a formal member of the Painting and Calligraphy Association under the Myanmar Culture Department.
Some school policies allow for special admissions without examination, while others are just bonus points during the interview, or the interviewer thinks you are pretty good and can grant you a special scholarship.
But it is also a very beautiful resume.
Especially the photo co-signed with Cao Xuan is actually the best letter of recommendation and stepping stone.
It is much more useful than his suggestion that the principal write a personal letter and say hello to the interviewer in advance.
Whether it is because of connections or true ability that a great artist is willing to co-sign a painting with him, if the interviewer is not stupid, he will not turn away such a student.
"I'm just being sentimental. This guy has already prepared a great background for himself."
Professor Vatel looked at this unrealistic and somewhat fantasy photo of the mural. and signature, touching nose.
If he hadn’t known that Mr. Cao Xuan really came to Yangon at the beginning of the year.
Drawing professors would think that this photo was composited.
The files here are very thick.More than one photo of the mural.
When Mr. Wu was approved for membership, he wanted to make Gu Weijing's resume more substantial and beautiful, so that it would not look like he was using his public power for personal use to give the neighbor's children a backdoor.
The old man included many promotional materials taken by the Tourism Bureau during the Shwedagon Pagoda project.
Professor Vatel saw the gold-lacquered credits list on the monument where Gu Weijing was ranked before Sakai Katsuko, saw the photos of the big shots watching and commenting on Gu Weijing’s sketches, and even saw a A snapshot of Mr. Zhang Caoxuan giving Gu Weijing on-the-spot guidance on painting.
This may be a scene taken from a distance by a photographer hired by a certain tourism bureau with a telephoto lens.
Two people, an old man and a young man, stood in front of an ancient mural.
Lao Cao held a brush in his hand, while Gu Weijing stood beside the little old man like a little follower.
The background of the photos taken with the telephoto lens is extremely blurred.
The contents on the mural are only blurred spots of color, but Mr. Cao Xuan’s facial features are clearly shown.
The old man pursed his lips and looked sideways at the young man next to him. There was no sign of kindness on his face. It had a very serious expression, but it did not seem alienated.
In the picture,
the old man does not have the cold and perfunctory expression that a famous artist usually has when he treats young people who come to gild.
There is no gilded young man in Myanmar who is worthy of Mr. Cao's perfunctory treatment.
Professor Vatel felt inexplicably that the expression on the face of this great artist reminded him of his appearance when he was giving a serious lecture in the classroom.
The little old man seems to be really teaching Gu Weijing seriously
"No wonder the line ability has improved so rapidly, and he still pretends to say that he realized it all by himself. I didn’t hire a private tutor. Come on, this is not a private tutor, it’s a one-on-one class.”
The sketching professor puffed up his cheeks in envy, scratching his head with jealousy. of.
There are specialties in the art industry.
But Eastern art masters have very, very high ability to draw lines. This view can also be recognized in Western academic circles.
When someone paints a work, whether it is meticulous or freehand brushwork, it does not rely on changes in focus or scaling of large and small proportions.
It depends on the lines in your hand.
Cao Xuan is not without critics in the art world, but no critic would ever think that Cao Xuan's painting techniques are not strong enough.
With the personal guidance of such a master of art, my understanding will be better.
The sketching technique can be understood by analogy and has improved dramatically in a short period of time, which makes it reasonable.
"I can't afford this kind of luck and a teacher like this."
Vettel had mixed feelings in his heart.
He once thought that if he knew where Gu Weijing learned his craft, he would enroll himself in a class.
Think nowThinking about it,
Professor Watter was glad that he did not say this in front of Gu Weijing, otherwise he would have been embarrassed for himself.
A private teacher like Cao Xuan cannot be afforded by him for hundreds or thousands of dollars.
I can’t even afford to sell him.
Canadian principals do not have such a complicated mood.
He was just fiddling with the globe on the office.
The principal likes to play around with this stuff when he has nothing to do.
It is a souvenir given by the Dulwich Teachers Group to the top leaders of each campus at the principal meeting.
The globe is made of brass, the size of a volleyball, with reliefs of undulating mountains and hills, and the English abbreviations of Dulwich on different continents are also marked with red paint.
Each English abbreviation represents a Dulwich campus around the world.
The Myanmar campus has always been the most inconspicuous one.
Sometimes the board of directors will not be willing to send outstanding teachers to Myanmar. Coupled with the unstable current situation, there are often rumors of wanting to abolish and close the Myanmar campus.
After three years of silence, it became a blockbuster.
This year not only welcomes the heavyweight transfer student Katsuko Sakai, a classmate has won the highest-level badge of the British Boy Scouts, and now there is also a "young artist".
The latter two are local students who have been studying at Dulwich College for several years.
Compared to the honor of co-creating with students in the school and about the top five masters in the world.
In the eyes of the principal, even Jerry's charity micro-movie became distasteful.
"Well, let's see. This Gu Weijing is a student who originally enjoyed the fixed-amount tuition fee exemption from the bursary. Forget it in previous years, I think we should just refund all the tuition he paid this year. It is considered a school Give him preferential treatment. Then, make a copy of these photo files and create a special publicity wall for Student Gu. What do you think?"
The principal said casually.
"I don't know. Anyway, he doesn't need to come to my class in the future. I don't have the ability to teach such students. He can do whatever he likes."
Professor Vatel Putting all the materials back on the table, he answered with a lack of interest.
He originally thought that Gu Weijing was a lot like him, but he worked hard but lacked some luck, so he came to help.
Bad luck
Bad luck
The ancestral graves of this lucky family are almost on fire.
Professor Vatel looked at the photos on the table and felt aggrieved and did not want to speak.
If I had a one-tenth chance to find a master to give me some advice, I would no longer be a Myanmar sketch teacher.
"Then let's do it. Keep your sketch and post it on the publicity wall."
The principal did not ask Professor Vatel for his permission. Decide immediatelyreached a conclusion.
Spring is warm and flowers are blooming.
A ball was kicked high from the football field, jumped over the fence beside the green field, bounced a few times on the concrete floor, and finally landed in the open space at the school gate.
The forward wearing the school football number wiped his sweat and ran after the ball, then slowly slowed down, with a black question mark on his face.
In the field of vision,
students after school were standing by the cultural promotion wall at the entrance of the campus. In a short time, a group of senior students had gathered.
Some students were tiptoeing to look inside, and some were chattering about something.
Coupled with the chirping of cicadas and birds all around, it was as lively as a themed temple fair.
This is the campus cultural promotion wall.
Everyone doesn’t even bother to take a look at it when it is placed there.
If there is any interesting news suddenly, starting from the first person stopping, like a chain reaction, everyone will subconsciously follow the herd mentality and want to see what is on it.
Are there any announcements about any competitions
It would be great if we could have a fellowship with a girls' school this year.
The striker hesitated for a moment, unable to resist the curiosity in his heart. He hugged the picked up ball and took advantage of the physical advantages of the members of the sports club to jump left and right in the crowd. He was among the students. Squeezing into the front row amid complaints.
"Gu Weijing, a young artist, a good role model for outstanding Dulwich people"
He sniffed and slowly read the text on the bulletin board.
The forward is a bit disappointed.
He did not see news about the young and beautiful girls he hoped to see, but instead saw a picture of a thin male senior wearing a Dulwich uniform.
There are many campus activities in private high schools.
The large publicity board at the entrance of the school is often filled with registration notices for various robotics competitions, social dances, planetarium visits, and paid study tours to European and American universities during winter and summer vacations.
The only exception is the billboard at the front.
That is the principal’s private land.
The principal of Dulwich College likes to put the most popular promotional content in a period of time here. Some time ago, this place has been Mrs. Sakai’s advanced class opening notice and admission list.
He heard that she was a rich and wealthy lady.
Now the exhibition board has been replaced with a full-length photo of this guy named Gu Weijing. Next to it, in addition to the dry and ignorant title of "Young Artist", there is also a photo of the Cultural Affairs Bureau. Document copy of the seal.
“Damn it, he is a formal member of the Painting and Calligraphy Association at the age of seventeen. Doesn’t this mean he can be directly recommended to all universities in Myanmar?”
“This senior Gu can compete with Cao I don’t know what my family’s background is, so I probably don’t like the local universities in Myanmar.”
“Hey, what kind of official calligraphy and painting association is this?Is the identification of members so powerful? You can directly go to all our local universities, even the best Yangon University in Myanmar. You just need to join this calligraphy and painting association. With this kind of policy, you art students really take advantage. ”
The forward of the football club, like Gu Weijing’s cousin Gu Lin, is an ordinary student in the school and is not in an art class.
So he doesn’t have much regard for this identity The concept.
He heard people's comments, and he patted the shoulder of the classmate next to him who was staring enviously at the "high-level artist" certification notice, and asked.
< p>"Take advantage"The fat guy wearing glasses is obviously an art student
He turned around and looked at the striker with the ball in his hand, standing like this. He was particularly dissatisfied with the behavior of speaking without back pain.
He squinted his eyes and said, "You can take advantage of this when you practice football." If you can play for Myanmar's U16 team, you can also be admitted to your country's university without taking the exam. It’s not difficult to go to a prestigious European school. Do you have this level?”
“So great. ”
The forward was pushed hard or softly, but he understood the general weight of this senior.
Those who can play in the U16 Youth Professional Football League are monsters, and they basically perform well. They are all prospects for the national team, the Asian Cup, and the World Cup qualifiers.
He is a semi-amateur at best, but that is far from enough.
Of course. , those who can play U16 almost all go to professional clubs, and few choose to go to college.
“You can’t compare like that, you are an art student, and I am not a sports school student. "
Seeing that this matter had nothing to do with his own eight-pole, the striker turned around and prepared to withdraw. Before squeezing out of the crowd, he stopped again and asked casually.
"This old man's name is Cao Xuan. What does he do? Is he very famous?"
The principal of Dulwich College was very stupid and posted the mural created by Cao Xuan and Gu Weijing on the publicity board.
He also bolded and blackened the signature of the creator Cao Xuan and Gu Weijing.
Except for Gu Weijing’s half-length in the entire promotional column. In the photo, this joint signature is the most eye-catching.
The Canadians just set up a small speaker here to play "Big news, big news, our students have signed a joint name with Mr. Cao Xuan". Created. Big news, big news that our students have created a joint creation with Mr. Cao Xuan."
The group of art students looking at the clipboard were willing to say a few words when they saw the accreditation certificate from the Yangon Painting and Calligraphy Association.
But when Cao Xuan was mentioned, everyone fell into an inexplicable hesitation.
“Oh, Cao Xuan. "
"It turned out to be Cao Xuan. "
"Is it really that Cao Xuan?"
"Mr. Cao Xuan did seem to have visited Yangon some time ago. ”
This kind of atmosphere reminds the forward of the feeling when gangsters mention The Godfather in gangster movies..
It seems that the name "Cao Xuan" carries so much weight that no one even has the courage to talk about it.
"Little Fatty, who is better, him or Mrs. Sakai from before?"
Little Fatty curled his lips and looked at him with the eyes of an artistic bumpkin, "I don't understand anything. , you can go back to Oge by yourself."
"This guy has a Wiki page that is too lazy to check, so just tell me."
"Professor Cruz's husband is a top official in Asia. Painters are still a whole level behind Mr. Cao Xuan. Do you know Picasso? Have you heard of Andy Warhol? This Cao Xuan's status is not much weaker than them."< /p>
"I've heard about Picasso. Their works combined are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. It's so cool to be signed by such a great artist."
Holding a football The students were shocked.
"It would be awesome if a football player can play football with Messi, it would be awesome if a singer could hold a concert with Taylor Swift, and it would be awesome to jointly paint a painting with Mr. Cao Xuan."
The little fat man folded his arms together.
He looked proud of the fact that he admired and admired the seniors of the school, "By the way, let me tell you, there is no accurate statistics on how valuable the life works of great artists such as Picasso and Andy Warhol are. However, one hundred million dollars, doubling it and adding a zero is the minimum.”
This is a number that is enough to make your pupils dilate when you hear it.
Doubling $100 million and adding zero equals $2 billion.
Yangon is the most economically developed region in Myanmar. With a population of 7.3 million, the total GDP in 2019 is 4 trillion kyats, which is almost exactly the same number.
If the term "rich as a country" is still a bit exaggerated.
Then the top rich man in the art industry can do nothing to support a city with a population of one million.
The forward tried hard to connect the number of coins of the order of four trillion kyats with the dry name in the bulletin board.
Then he moved it to the thin face of the senior next to him.
"Holy shit."
He stood there blankly, and the ball fell from his hand.
No one laughed.
This "f*ck" also expresses the feelings of all the students who saw the contents of this propaganda board.
Many of these onlookers are Gu Weijing’s classmates.
When they saw the photos posted on publicity boards or student groups, the only thing that shocked them was the word "fuck" that kept circulating.
I have grass
I have grass
I have a big grass
Mrs. Cruz and Sakai Katsuko meet every day in school , but their mother and daughter are like a gorgeous fire cloud floating in the sky.
Beautiful, but unreal.
To put it bluntly,
PeopleIt has nothing to do with you either.
Everyone is either about to become an adult or is already an adult. The school spirit of private aristocratic schools is a bit competitive. The students who belong to such and such families all know what class they belong to.
No one would be so foolish as to believe that we are classmates in the same school, and that we are united, friendly, supportive, and equal.
The class divide has left an accurate mark in everyone’s heart.
Professor Cruz only stays on top of your head for a short time, and then floats away as soon as the semester is over.
Ninety-nine percent chance of meeting each other on the road of art next time.
Mrs. Cruz and Ms. Sakai stand dazzlingly on the stage of the art museum. You are just an unknown onlooker under the stage in front of the TV news.
You will definitely remember the other person’s name, but the other person will definitely not remember your name.
At most they point to the broadcast footage in front of the TV and brag to family and friends, "She's so beautiful. I was her classmate for half a year."
Except for a few selected Those who enter advanced classes may be able to obtain a recommendation letter from Mrs. Sakai.
This is the fate of most people and this mother and daughter in their lives.
The classes are different. How can an art princess be friends with a country boy like you?
Until they saw the poster on the bulletin board, the Gu Gu who was also a little transparent in the grade Only in the classics and textbooks can I see the fairy tales jointly signed by Mr. Cao Xuan.
How to describe it
The Seven Fairies came down to earth to marry the cowherd boy Dong Yong, and the old fairy Zhang Guolao sat on the little donkey in the mill at the entrance of the village.
The main theme is a myth.
They know,
from today to many years from now.
This senior Gu Weijing will probably become a new legend in the school, and will be passed down word of mouth from generation to generation of Dulwich students. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
