Chapter Ninety-Seven, Worship Chunir as a Teacher
"Well, well, what a good apprentice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć "Cunill had never been so close to anyone, and he had never thought of taking on a foreign apprentice.
But how to say it, Xi Qing's apprentice is worthy of him, and Qiunier has a feeling that in the future world, this young man will definitely be able to become famous and become a master in the sculpture world, and he will definitely be able to surpass his own fame and become the world's top sculpture master.
When I came to the studio of Qunier, there were two sculptors in the studio of Qunier, and these two sculptors actually studied with Qunier, a man and a woman.
The woman has now become an apprentice of Chunir, and was also accepted by Chunir before Xi Qing. The male sculptor was only studying with Mr. Cunill, who did not take him as an apprentice, but who, like the girls, called him his teacher.
The small studio is full of clay sculptures, plaster, wooden shelves, and colored paint.
Xi Qing's nose flew into the smell of what seemed to be decorative materials, the environment of this studio is not particularly ideal, but where do people who are engaged in art care about so many environmental factors, as long as they have a sculpture knife in their hands, a sculpture chisel and a hammer, they can still work wholeheartedly.
When Qunir arrives at the studio, he summons two students who are working.
"Karen, Bane, stop what you're doing for a moment, and I'll introduce you to a new friend."
"Oh?" Bane stopped the small rhombic knife in his hand, turned his head to look at the Chinese man, and Karen slowly looked sideways after the rabbit he had sculpted was completed in stages.
"Come here."
Chunir waved his hand again, and Karen and Bane walked over.
This Bane is very thin and tall, and his appearance is also the standard handsome image among the French, with blue eyes and blond hair, giving people a clean and light feeling.
And Karen has white skin, blond hair and waist-length, like Barbie's face, which is a French native girl, but her breasts and ass are not as big as those of Europeans, which is more in line with the aesthetics of Orientals.
This Bane and Karen stood together, and the clearest feeling for Xi Qing was that they were a good match, like a couple.
"Karen, Bane, this is my new apprentice, Xi Qing from China, he has a good artistic talent, you should communicate as much as possible in the future, and he is not very knowledgeable about Western sculpture, you must help him a lot."
Karen first gave Xi Qing a charming smile, and then took the initiative to hug Xi Qing to show friendship, Xi Qing knew that this was the French hospitality custom, so he posted it and hugged Karen.
"Hello, I'm Karen, you can ask me about sculpture in the future, of course, I heard from the teacher that you are very talented, and I believe that I will also have a lot to learn from you."
Xi Qing didn't understand Karen's words too much, and she realized that Xi Qing might not understand French, so she said it again in English.
Xi Qing knew English well, and after listening to it, he replied in English, "It's Teacher Qiunier who exaggerated, I'm not that talented, and I still need to learn more from my senior sister." ā
Xi Qing's senior sister called Karen laughed heartily, but Bane next to him had a blue face and was full of anger.
I have always wanted to worship Master Chunier as a teacher, but the latter has not agreed, where did this Xi Qing come from, and he directly became the teacher's apprentice, which is too unfair.
"Karen, Bane, you two should first tell Xi Qing the basic knowledge of sculpture, such as the tools we use, how we make sculptures, and the preparation work in the early stage of sculpture, you shouldn't know this Xi Qing very well, right?"
Qiunier wanted to ask Xi Qing to study from scratch, and Xi Qing certainly cherished this opportunity: "I'm a little unclear, so thank you so much." ā
Bane snorted secretly, he thought that this Xi Qing was so powerful, but he didn't expect it to be a layman who didn't know anything. Naturally, Bane didn't want to communicate with Xi Qing sincerely, so he said coldly, "Okay, the teacher will teach, and I will tell him." ā
Karen said enthusiastically, "Xi Qing, don't worry, we will tell you some basic knowledge of sculpture, in fact, if you get started with sculpture, it will not be as complicated as you imagined." ā
"Then let's get started now." Xi Qing didn't plan to tell the two of them about the fact that he knew how to carve wood, he wanted to learn it from scratch.
Bane spoke quickly in French. But where can Xi Qing understand French, seeing that Xi Qing blushed in embarrassment after listening, Qiu Neil simply said, "Okay, Bane, you can't understand Xi Qing in French, it's better to teach Xi Qing by yourself Karen." Bane, go get me some clay sculptures. ā
Bane was arranged to do something else, and there were only two people left, Xi Qing and Karen.
The teacher left to do something else, but Karen wasn't lazy. Nodding politely to Xi Qing, Karen put her two little hands on her thighs and said seriously,
"Xi Qing, the tools of sculpture are like what Bain just said in French, there are many of them, for example, there are three kinds of sculpture knives: the first is a metal tool, which is made of steel, stainless steel, brass, etc., and the knife head is divided into oblique triangles, willow leaves, mao leaves and arrows, and some edges are jagged.
The second is non-metallic tools, which are made of bamboo, wood, bone, ivory, horn, plastic and other materials.
Large knives are shaped like soles, cuttlefishbones, thumbs, oblique triangles, etc., and small knives are shaped like water chestnuts, small feet, sphericals, bars, etc.
The third is the scraper, which can cut the shape and make the clothing pattern, and there are various arc-shaped and square double-sided scrapers.
Sculpture knives are generally used for clay sculpture work, scraping, cutting, pasting, picking, pressing, plastering clay sculptures and modeling. Then there are stone chisels, stone carving hammers, etc., by the way, bow handles and point shapers are also often used in sculpture. ā
Xi Qing knew that stone carving chisels, stone carvings hammered these are the same as wood carvings, and the bow handle and this point type instrument are tools used for measurement.
The bow is a plastic caliper with two ivory-shaped feet that can be opened and closed, which can measure distances and change the curvature of the legs at any time.
And, of course, there's the proportional handle, which is a measuring tool for sculptural magnification.
As for the point type instrument, it is a three-coordinate locator, which is used to copy stone carvings and wood carvings.
Generally speaking, it is to find 3 datum points on the plaster statue, use the positioning steel on the point type instrument to align and fix, and use the sliding parts and universal joints and pointers on the point type instrument to align any space position on the statue.
In this studio, there are a lot of clay sculptures, Karen first found a sculpture template, and then used the point shape instrument to take three base points on it, and then moved the instrument to the clay sculpture again after fixing, and the position of the three base points was marked on the clay sculpture.
"You're going to use this thing?"
"Oh, I've used it before."
"It's much more convenient to use, you see, with this point model, we can be more prepared to copy a sculpture of art, and reduce the error to a minimum."
"Well, I know that, Karen thanks you. ā¦ā
"No, you don't."
Karen said with a smile, and after simple communication, Karen also found out that this Xi Qing didn't understand at all, he didn't look like a layman, and he didn't look like a beginner.
It seems that he is well versed in the field of carving, or has a certain attainment. (To be continued.) )
