The paintings hanging on the wall include sketches and watercolors, with a gouache painting of the campus landscape mixed in between.
Both are painting methods in which water is used as a pigment solution. Gouache and watercolor are close relatives of painting methods.
The art education system in the Western world is divided into two schools.
The Soviet art academies led by the Repin Academy of Fine Arts, and the Western European education system led by the Italian, British and French systems.
Dewei adopts the latter.
In its course classification, the official name of the gouache course is even directly called "opaque watercolor", which is taught as a branch category of watercolor course.
Professor Watter noticed Gu Weijing’s eyes and stood up on tiptoes under his desk uncomfortably.
I feel a little embarrassed when my students find me secretly drinking and watching football at noon.
But when students stare at the paintings on the wall with scrutinizing eyes, it is a completely different feeling.
In front of ordinary students, Vattle is quite confident.
He has taught many students.
Children come and leave one after another.
That’s a bad thing to say.
Many art students use art as a springboard to study non-painting majors in college.
He may be the most skilled painter they have ever come into close contact with in their lifetime.
Don’t worry about some idle students taking advantage of the class and not paying attention to the lectures. They also think that Professor Vatel is too old-fashioned, strict and demanding.
That’s because we are surrounded by blessings and don’t know how to be blessed. The teaching resources around us are too easy to obtain and we don’t know how to cherish them.
The tuition fees for one semester at Dulwich College are higher than the annual total income of many ordinary local families.
Expensive has its own truth.
In the future, when they grow up and enter the society, when they are forty or fifty years old, if they want to pick up a paintbrush again in their free time, they can take an adult painting class that costs fifty or sixty dollars an hour.
There is a high probability that the teacher in the class will not be able to reach Wattel’s painting standards.
Not to mention his rich teaching experience.
In front of these students, Professor Vatel is of course very confident. He can fuck as much as he wants, teach him as much as he wants, and get out of here whether he likes it or not.
The only exception is the young man sitting on the sofa now.
In front of this student.
All his sense of superiority disappeared without a trace, like a balloon punctured by a needle.
Vettel had seen Gu Weijing sketch in his class.
That pen, that technique, that line drawing. He has been a teacher for so many years and has seen some awesome students.
It is rare for someone to be so awesome.
Technique is not everything in the art world, but in art school, technique is almost everything.
The biggest difference between teachers and students is that teachers can bring studentsImprovement of students’ drawing ability.
If the skill levels of both parties are reversed, how can the art teacher have any confidence
Vettel can indeed keep a straight face and act like a teacher. .
But.
In front of a student who can jointly paint with Cao Xuan, is there any point in doing this kind of pretense
"Gu, what school do you want to apply for?"
Vettel took a sip from his tea cup, and asked kindly with a few uncoordinated smiles on his old-fashioned, square face of the Germanic people.
"Hamburg Academy of Fine Arts."
"Ah, the university in my hometown, a very good school. The beef rolls and caper meatballs there are very good. It's a pity that I was I didn’t pass the application. I studied in Denmark in college.”
Professor Vatel thought for a moment and asked tentatively, “Do you want to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Cao Xuan? With your grades, ga. With my current resume, it would be a shame not to read the Big Four. I remember you said before that you were interested in studying in France."
"It would be good to consider the National Academy of Fine Arts in Paris. ”
The Hamburg Academy of Fine Arts has been ranked well in the past two years. Occasionally, it has been ranked first in some teaching rankings in a few years, but it is still a niche choice.
Fame is limited to art students and their parents.
It’s a bit like when you go to study in the United States, you choose a low-key school like Brown University that is not prominent in the Ivy League list, rather than Harvard and Yale.
Famousness and academic recognition.
The four major international art academies are still the highest.
Go to any place in the world, such as the National Academy of Fine Arts in Paris, the Repin Academy of Fine Arts, etc., they are all resounding golden signs, and they are like gods in the eyes of art students.
Professor Vatel’s reminder also has some selfish motives.
According to the policy of the Dulwich College, if students can get into the four major art colleges, the bonuses for the campus and teaching professors will be the highest. This will also facilitate publicity when recruiting parents next year.
It sounds most bluffing.
"The EU education department has a joint training program with the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Hamburg in recent years. I think it is good and want to try it."
Gu Weijing's eyes are still on Looking at the picture frame on the wall, he answered casually.
"Oh, oh, that's it, you just have an idea."
Professor Vatel nodded and said nothing more.
This year, Dulwich can have Gu Weijing and Sakai Katsuko, as well as Mrs. Cruz’s improvement class and recommendation letter. In the minds of these faculty and staff, it is already a big pie falling from the sky. .
To educate students from the University of Rotterdam is not only the platform of Dulwich College, but also the credit of the teachers.
Go up again.
That is the ability of the students themselves. It is such students who enroll in their schools, not the schools that have trained such students.
At least their Yangon campus has not had such a child for many years.
Stop talking about students.
Even if Professor Vatel's current level were to apply for the top art academies in the world, he would not have much confidence that he would be admitted.
As a person who eats free pie, you must be able to learn to be grateful.
No matter what flavor of pie the cook puts into your mouth, whether it is beef patty, pizza or apple pie, just wipe your mouth, stick out your thumb and say "veryod".
If you are still picky, you are too ignorant.
Given Gu Weijing’s current painting skills, any international high school in the city would be eager to pounce on him, hold him in his mouth, and offer him a scholarship with both hands.
Think of this section.
Gu Weijing stared at the paintings on the wall for a long time, which made Vatel even more restless.
For example, in a small county town, only one student has been born in more than ten years. Even the parents and officials in the county know his name, and he was specially approved to send a student from Qingbei with a bonus of 150,000 yuan. One day, his brain suddenly went crazy. Lying in the back row of the classroom, sleeping and watching a girl falling in love.
This big Bodhisattva suddenly walked into the head teacher's office and stared at the name of the graduation school of Erben Normal University in the simple photo frame with strange eyes.
The invisible huge pressure brought about in the heart of the head teacher.
Whether the dignity of a teacher can be maintained depends solely on the mood of the talented person.
"You, what do you want to ask me?"
Watter felt uneasy for a long time. When he saw that Gu Weijing had not spoken for a long time, he raised his head and raised his head. Take the initiative to ask questions with a straight-forward attitude.
He racked his brains to think about what he could confidently teach the other party.
Drawing
Don’t be ridiculous, it would be better if the other person doesn’t teach you how to draw.
Probably
Well, it is unlikely that this young classmate came here to discuss the taste of craft beer and Bayern Munich's tactical style with him.
"That should be the case. Maybe he is also a fan." The professor made an uncertain calculation.
"Of course it's painting."
When Wattel couldn't help but consider whether Gu Weijing preferred Lewandowski or Kane as the star of the home team.
Gu Weijing finally spoke to stop his random thoughts.
"Sir, your watercolor paintings are so good and impressive."
Gu Weijing was silent for a moment just now.
I am secretly throwing calligraphy and painting appraisal skills at the watercolors on the wall.
The watercolor teacher at Dulwich College is the most suitable person he can think of in his daily interpersonal circle.
The level will not be too high, and it will definitely be enough to lead you on the path to becoming a professional painter.
As expected.
The painting techniques of the watercolor works hanging on the wall are on par with those of sketches.It may be slightly higher than Sketch, but not as high as v5.
It should be that the bottleneck between the first level of profession and the second level of profession has been blocking it for many years.
"Thank you, thank you."
Watter never expected that when a student praised his impressive painting, his first reaction was one of honor.
Just like when I was still in school many years ago, my face lit up when the teacher in the studio praised me.
After two seconds of secret pleasure, Watter finally realized the taste.
He touched his meticulously combed hair and asked strangely.
"Gu, do you want to practice watercolor?"
"No way"
Gu Weijing was also startled and asked.
"Oh, it's not impossible, it's just that I didn't expect you to be interested." Vatel shook his head.
He even considered the possibility that Gu Weijing came to him to watch football, but he did not expect the seemingly obvious answer of "watercolor".
Mainly because even if watercolor and sketching are from the same family, this is not common sense among art students.
In my impression, Gu Weijing's watercolor achievements are not outstanding, but his sketching techniques are too outstanding.
This is like a student who has already started to do well in the math Olympiad and suddenly finds someone to take tutoring in physics classes.
How to say it.
It’s not impossible, but it’s very unnecessary.
It is better to use your strengths, continue to study mathematics, and see if you can join the national training team and win Asian or world-class Olympiad medals, which will bring greater benefits.
"If I were so good at sketching when I was eighteen years old, I would do nothing. I would just sketch every day. I would not talk about my girlfriend, attend parties, or watch football. I would practice for ten hours a day. 1 When I got to university, I participated in various sketch competitions. I won the Repin Student Sketch Gold Award, and then I found a big gallery to make my debut."
"In that case, I would have driven a Porsche today, so why bother. Xixi went to Yangon to work as a teacher for the allowance of three melons and two dates."
Watter thought with fascination.
Art students dabble in all kinds of painting methods in order to apply for college, so they can lay a foundation for them.
Like Gu Weijing, after choosing him from college to choosing college, he should work hard to take advantage of his strengths.
For art students who want to be painters, how to become more eye-catching among thousands of competitors, and being selected by a gallery and becoming famous is the first priority.
Practice watercolor painting, etc., how important is it to become famous?
If you really like it, you can wait until the sketch is noticed by an art scout and agent, and you can learn it again when you have time in the future.
"Professor, I have been very interested in watercolor recently and want to improve it. I just encountered some problems. Could you please spare some time to help me solve my doubts?"
Gu I guessed what Professor Vattle was thinking.
He felt that he could not explain that he had such incredible assistance from the system, so he skipped possible inquiries and perfunctory answers and went straight to the topic.
"Oh, of course, this is my job."
When Watter saw Gu Weijing's eyes, he hesitated and shrugged his shoulders obligingly.
Mortals don’t understand the world of genius.
Maybe, this is people’s willfulness
“I have no classes after three o’clock this semester, and my office door is open for you at any time.” Professor Vatel smiled.
No teacher doesn’t like to teach great people.
If nothing else, having such an awesome student like Gu Weijing come to him for advice gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
Those who have been taught by Cao Xuan will be taught one-on-one in private. Rounding things off, he has also collaborated with Master Cao Xuan across time and space.
In the future, when drinking with friends, processing it casually will be a good tool for bragging.
"I have a question. Have you been practicing watercolor painting on IAD?"
Fifteen minutes later.
After listening to Gu Weijing hide the specific content of the painting and roughly explain the difficulties he faced.
Professor Vatel touched his chin and asked.
"Yes, it is definitely not as good as the effect produced by real paper and brushes, but it is very convenient to use."
Gu Weijing nodded.
"Huh."
Vettel smiled inexplicably, "You kids are so, eh, not professional enough."
He habitually wanted to say something bad to an amateur rookie, but when he said it, he looked at Gu Weijing, feeling a little stressed in his heart.
Temporarily changed to a softer rhetoric.
“Teacher, I used to use IAD to draw oil paintings or sketches, and the results were pretty good, and I can feel the improvement with practice. I see that many internationally renowned illustrators use tablets to submit their manuscripts. "
Gu Weijing said.
The 4096 level of the mainstream Apple stylus is extremely accurate in representing the strength of an artist's brush, and can accurately restore the texture and peaks of most brushes on the paper.
"There's something wrong with practicing like this"
He noticed Professor Vatel's expression of disdain for his statement, and his heart moved.
Gu Weijing was ridiculed by Katsuko’s younger brother Tsunamasa Sakai when he was drawing on IAD, based on his understanding of Professor Vattel.
The other party is a very rigorous person.
His attitude is most likely not a stereotyped prejudice against digital drawing tablets. He probably has his own reasons.
"You also said that he was an illustrator."
Professor Wattle grinned, "Have you ever seen any professional watercolor artist draw with an IAD? There is no painting, not one, it cannot exist absolutely."
"You can.I use a tablet computer to practice sketching, oil painting, and crayon painting, but I cannot practice watercolor. It is impossible for any watercolor master to be born on IAD, and it will be the same in another hundred years. I am responsible for this conclusion. "
The professor blew on the teacup and looked at the water waves above.
"Watercolor is an art about water. "
"Gu, if you want to practice it well, you must let yourself turn into liquid in your mind the moment you pick up the pen, and then"
"feel the ground with your heart. Gravity. "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
