"These clay sculptures are your materials, aren't they?" Xi Qing looked at some clay sculpture shelves and asked with great interest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Xi Qing, Teacher Chunir said that you are talented, it seems that you are indeed right. Your ability to discover is amazing, and indeed the clay sculptures you see are the most commonly used materials for our sculptures, in addition to clay sculptures, stone, jade, wood, ivory, etc. are all materials available for our sculptures. And the role of those iron shelves played a crucial role in the early stage of sculpture, and we first made shelves when making sculptures..."

"Make a shelf?" Xi Qing wood carving doesn't need to be a shelf, so he is still quite curious about this.

"Do you hear it a little vaguely, then I will say more clearly, to make a sculpture, we first need to make a shelf according to the posture of the statue and the proportion of the shape, and this shelf fixes the shape of its internal skeleton; A number of small crosses are tied around the skeleton, and its function is to connect the mud into a whole, so that it will not collapse and be easy to shape. After the shelves are ready, we can enlarge and shape them according to the pre-made mud composition. ”

"That's how your sculptures are made? I said, how can these clay sculptures be connected together, it turns out that there is a shelf to support it? ”

Xi Qing has really gained knowledge, but his current understanding is far less than one-tenth of that of Western sculpture. Karen smiled slightly, and a small dimple was embedded in the side of her handsome face.

"Xi Qing, where can we make Western sculptures, making iron frames is only the first step to complete the sculpture, after the shape of the clay sculpture is good, because it is too easy to be affected by the climate, easy to crack and deformed, and difficult to preserve permanently, we have to turn the clay sculpture into a plaster statue."

"Most of the sculptures we often come into contact with are made of gypsum, and we also have our own set of complex techniques for turning plaster, and after the plaster is made, we often have to continue to spray various colors to make it produce the texture of bronze, wood, stone, etc. At this point, the sculpture can be said to be complete. ”

Karen briefly told Xi Qing about the production method of sculpture, and Xi Qing understood the whole method, but found a problem, that is, the sculpture art of the West is actually very different from that of the East.

Because Xi Qing also understands sculpture and carving, Chinese sculpture materials are wood, mud, cotton, broken hemp, sand, straw, etc., and they are not the same as them.

But speaking of it, in terms of complexity alone, the complexity of Chinese sculpture is as good as that of Western sculpture.

However, in fact, Chinese sculpture in the history of development, is not as good as Western sculpture, in China, the word sculptor basically did not exist in ancient times, that era China was more of a carpenter, and the status of carpenters in the society is in the middle and lower classes, not only that, but also very little money, simply can not be compared with Western sculptors.

Therefore, in terms of sculpture skills and development, China is far less developed than the West.

This is the same as China's table tennis is great, Brazilian football is great, and American basketball is great.

That's a bit sad. Because in China today, the sculptor is still a member of the traditional division of labor, and his main responsibility is to build statues for temples and carve stones for buildings.

On the one hand, they do not have the freedom to create independently, and on the other hand, in terms of the object of expression and the space in which the work is located, their works lack the ability to intervene in social reality, and are not liked by the market, so they are lagging behind as a whole.

In the West, sculptures created freely in the studio can express their observations of society through their works, and the power of their works is no weaker than that of contemporaries.

Western sculptures that receive orders from all parties and profit from them can enter the public spaces of various modern societies, such as squares, streets, and parks, and their works will naturally attract public attention.

Not only money, but also after their works are recognized, they can also be sought after by the political and business circles, become the president's guests, and obtain the affirmation of identity and status, and get money, so the sculptors are even more successive.

Xi Qing felt that he had a responsibility to apply the essence of Western sculpture to Eastern sculpture, and to prove that there are also sculptors in China who can influence the world.

……

"Xi Qing, how are you learning the basics?"

Xi Qing is still absorbing the sculpture knowledge just now, and the teacher has asked questions with concern, because the time is pressing, Qiunier wants to ask Xi Qing to accept the basic knowledge of sculpture in the shortest possible time, and then enter the next link to carry out on-the-spot sculpture practice.

Because in Cinnier's concept, theory without practice is always blank and weak, and only those who truly create perfect sculptures with their hands are sculptors in the true sense of the word.

Although Xi Qing still had doubts about sculpture, he thought that he could continue to learn from the carving of Mr. Qiuir, and said: "Mr. Qiunier, I basically understand the principle of sculpture, but I don't know much about the deeper content. But teacher, we can start carving first. ”

"Okay, then let's hurry up and perfect this goddess of victory."

When Karen was stunned when he said that the teacher was going to make the goddess of victory, Bane was even more shocked by Cunill's actions.

How did the teacher want to make the goddess of victory, this Louvre's artwork is already very perfect, its irreproducible beauty and then carve, it seems meaningless.

And perfect, how to perfect it?

Xi Qing also replied quickly, "Teacher Qiunir, I think we need to make a shelf for the head of the goddess of victory first, and then pinch out her clay sculpture." ”

Xi Qing's words were not particularly professional, but Qiunir was still very happy to listen to Xi Qing's words, because this is a kind of growth after all.

"Xi Qing, the clay sculpture of the head can be used without a shelf, but I am sure that we need to make a lot of heads, I hope there will be a more satisfactory head made this afternoon, come on!"

Xi Qing devoted himself to learning carving with Mr. Qiunier, because of the warm current assistance, Xi Qing was not too stupid in this carving.

However, although Xi Qing is assisted by warm currents, because of the application of various sculpture methods that Xi Qing does not yet know, Xi Qing is still unable to show his strength because of the transition from two-dimensional painting to three-dimensional sculpture creation.

Basically, Xi Qing still carried out moderate creation under the guidance of Mr. Qiunier, and Xi Qing was also glad that he met a teacher like Qiunier, who could make him grow his carving skills rapidly in theory and practice.

In the afternoon, Xi Qing and Teacher Qiunir were groping and trying, and creating the head of the goddess of victory according to Xi Qing's master map was far from being as simple as imagined.

Expressive eyes, delicate noses, open mouths, and even sexy lips, each of them needs to be analyzed and measured by Xi Qing and Honir.

"Okay, Xi Qing, let's stop here today, tomorrow we will continue to create, and the work will also be a combination of work and rest."

Qunir looked at his watch, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and then it was night, so he asked Xi Qing to stop working.

Xi Qing agreed, seeing that it was time to eat, and took the initiative to say, "Teacher Qiunier, it's six o'clock, I'll invite you to dinner tonight." ”

"Hey, how can I ask you to invite me to dinner, because there is still a lover waiting for me at home, and I have to go back, but I can ask Karen and Bane to go to dinner with you."

"Okay, then I'll invite the two of them to dinner." Xi Qing has just worshipped Chunir as a teacher, and there is still a lot to learn from Karen and Bane in sculpture, so it is only natural to invite them to dinner.

With the help of Cunill, Karen and Bane agree to have dinner with Xi Qing in the evening, because Xi Qing doesn't know much about what to eat in Paris, and Karen and Bane lead Xi Qing to a steak restaurant.

Xi Qing ordered a flaming steak, Karen only ordered a spaghetti, and Bane had a lot of appetite, in addition to a flaming steak, he also ordered two sandwiches, two fried eggs, and a glass of milk.

Steak Western restaurant Xi Qing basically has never been to in China, but this is also in line with his previous economic state, after graduating from college, Xi Qing's meager salary for a month is simply not enough to support him to eat at the steak restaurant.

Then he got rich, but Xi Qing was busy and had no time, so this was the first time Xi Qing went to a Western restaurant, and it was a French Western restaurant.

The western restaurant is exceptionally quiet, each drink and meal is independently partitioned, like a small private room, but you can see the scene of the entire western restaurant, and you can also see the people walking outside the window through the window, which is particularly a kind of artistic conception.

Karen's pasta was served first, and Karen politely did not eat it, but politely waited for Xi Qing and Bane.

Then Xi Qing's flame steak was presented, and after the waiter put the steak down, he motioned to Xi Qing to pick up the dirt cloth, because he didn't understand French, Xi Qing was a little unaccustomed to it, after picking up the cloth, Xi Qing didn't know what the waiter told him to do, he was stunned, and Bane smiled and said:

"This is the first time you've eaten this flaming steak, right?"

"Well, I don't eat steak in the country."

"Oh, sir, then you better cover it. The flame steak needs to be lit with a flame first, and the flame will spray incense on the steak again, because there is oil immersion that will spray out, in order to avoid hurting you, and your clothes are not contaminated by oil stains, you need to use the cloth in your hand to put it in front of the steak to cover it. ”

Where is Bane's kindness, he used French, and his tone was full of contempt, in fact, he just said it to the waiter, and the waiter wanted to snicker in his heart, laughing at Xi Qing from a foreign country, and learning what people eat steak, but in terms of performance, where did the waiter dare to offend the customer, he still explained in French: "Sir, this cloth is for you to block it." ”

"Oh."

"It's okay, I'll teach you."

Karen was much kinder, she handed over to Xi Qing hand in hand, directly picked up Xi Qing's hand holding the dirt cloth, and completed the action.

Xi Qing understood now, and nodded again and again to thank Karen.

"I'm sorry, but it's my first time eating steak, so I don't know much about it."

"If you don't use a mask, will you use a knife and fork on the table? Don't tell me you don't even know how to use forks and knives, so why do you come to this restaurant? ”

Bane spoke to Xi Qing in English, and Xi Qing knew the provocation in Bane's words, but he didn't want to quarrel like Bane.

"Bain, didn't you propose that I come to the Western restaurant, I just haven't been here before, and I want to give it a try, don't people have the process of trying it for the first time? As for knives and forks, this one I would. ”

Xi Qing smiled, then picked up the fork in his left hand, held the knife in his right hand, and ate a piece of beef, then forked it up with a fork and put it in his mouth to chew.

Bane was angry, he felt that Xi Qing was cutting himself at all, his eyes were ruthless, he grabbed the cake of Sanminzhi, and bit into it with a gobble, "I haven't eaten the steak, and I don't know the sculpture, I really don't know why Teacher Qiunier took you as an apprentice, at least until now I don't think you have anything extraordinary, isn't it Karen, don't you think it's an insult to be a brother with him?" ”

Bane has always been targeting Xi Qing, and Xi Qing's kind attitude and kindness are very good for Karen's character, she doesn't think Xi Qing is not smart, and even believes that Xi Qing must have his own strengths, so he was indignant at the moment, "Bane, let's not talk about Xi Qing's ability, it seems that you are not Teacher Qiunier's apprentice at all, so even if you become a senior sister and junior brother, it is just my relationship with Xi Qing, you don't have to worry." ”

"Karen, what do you mean by that, I, can't I still be a student of the teacher?"

Bane was anxious, but Karen was still focused: "Bane, I told you before, why you can't be accepted by the teacher for a long time, not because of your skills, but because of your morality, a person, no matter whether his skills are high or not, first of all, his character must be kind, and your attitude towards Xi Qing makes me think that the teacher is right not to accept you." ”

Karen said bluntly, choking Bane and couldn't say half a sentence, but Xi Qing said kindly, "Bane, I just contacted you, and I don't know how your sculpture skills are, but I know Mr. Qiunier's personality, he has his own principles and bottom line, I think I am very similar to the teacher." “

"Including Miss Karen, it's very similar, so I think the problem is here, if you can adjust your mentality, be kind to people, and be less verbally and behaviorally aggressive, maybe the teacher will accept you."

"I....okay, I eat steak, what about my steak, why hasn't it come up yet?" Bane was really!

……

After eating from the western restaurant, Xi Qing returned to the Frankfurt Hotel to rest, while Tao Xiaoman had nothing to do that afternoon, just watching TV in the hotel.

Xi Qing fell asleep soon after, but Tao Xiaoman was very energetic at night, and after two o'clock in the night, when Tao Xiaoman was a little sleepy, a noise came from the next room.

Listening to the voice, it was two men, they should have come to the hotel after midnight to stay temporarily, one came first, and the other chased after him. (To be continued.) )
