"Wang Tian, the note I gave you was the names of the two apprentices I had received before, and you were the third apprentice I had accepted. I have two principles for accepting apprentices, one is not to accept foreign students, and the other is not to accept those who are not highly talented. Although you can't meet the first condition, I think your talent can surpass the average person, so I made an exception to accept you. And since I have accepted you, I hope that you can bring the art of sculpture to the extreme. I'll take you to my studio and let you get to know the two of them. ”

"Really? That's great, I'm sure I won't disappoint the teacher. Wang Tian nodded again and again, and was proud.

Being able to learn sculpture skills from Master Albeni, even now Wang Tian is still innumerably excited in his heart.

When I came to Albeni's studio, there were two sculptors in Albeni's studio, and these two sculptors, Wang Tian, knew that they were the apprentices of the teacher.

The studio is not large, full of clay sculptures, gypsum, wooden shelves, painted paint, etc., Wang Tian's nose is flying into the smell of seemingly decorative materials, the environment of this studio is not particularly ideal, but people engaged in art where to care about so many environmental factors, as long as there are sculpture knives in their hands, sculpture chisels and hammers, they can still work without distraction.

It is in this environment that the two students are creating their own sculptures.

As soon as Albeni arrived at the studio, he immediately summoned two students who were working.

"Zilusa, David, stop your work for a moment, and I'll introduce you to a new friend."

"Oh?"

David suddenly stopped the small rhombic knife in his hand and turned his head to look at the Chinese man. After shaping his sculpture, Qi Lusa slowly looked sideways.

"Come here."

Albeni waved his hand again, and Zilusa and David walked over slowly.

This David is very thin and tall. The appearance is also the standard handsome image among the French, with blue eyes and blond hair, giving people a clean and light feeling.

And Zilusa's skin is white, her blonde hair is waist-high, and she has a face like a Barbie doll, which is a French native girl, very beautiful.

But her breasts and ass weren't as big as those of Europeans. It is more in line with the aesthetics of the Orientals, or it is from the body art, and the physiological development has not yet been catalyzed. But the shape is also very attractive.

Albeni called the two of them and introduced. "Zilusa, David, this is my new apprentice. Your junior brother. He is from China. His name is Wang Tian. He has a very good artistic talent, you should communicate as much as possible in the future, and in addition, he does not know much about Western sculpture, so you must help him a lot. ”

"Two division commanders, give me more advice in the future."

Wang Tian said respectfully.

Qi Lusa first gave Wang Tian a charming smile, and then took the initiative to hug Wang Tian to show friendship, Wang Tian knew that this was the French hospitality custom, so he went over and hugged Qi Lusa.

Slow back. Qi Lusa said. "Hello, I'm Zilusa. In the future, if you don't know anything about sculpture, you can ask me, of course, I heard that you are very talented, and I believe that I will also have a lot to learn from you. ”

"You're humble. I just took one look at your sculpture and found it so good that I can't compare to you. ”

Wang Tianzhen is not deliberately modest, but he really feels that his sculpture is a bit small in front of this kind of pompous work.

Zilusa smiled, but was also satisfied with her sculpture. "Thank you for the compliment, then let's work together."

Zilusa was friendly and easy to approach.

But David next to him was very vigilant.

Because David knew that if Teacher Albeni did not accept apprentices casually, it must be that the other party had to achieve a certain talent.

In addition, what David learned was that Teacher Albeni would not accept foreign apprentices, and now that he can accept Wang Tian as an apprentice, it seems that this kid is not simple.

Although there was a mention and attention, David still did not come out.

Albeni said at this moment. "Qi Lusa, David, you two should first tell Wang Tian the basic knowledge of Western sculpture, focusing on the differences between Western sculpture and Eastern sculpture. There is no need to be complicated, it is simple and straightforward. For example, the tools we use, how do we make the sculpture, and the preparation work in the early stage of the sculpture? Do you want to listen to this king? ”

Albeni wanted to ask Wang Tian to learn from the beginning, although Wang Tian knew something, but due to the differences between the East and the West, Wang Tian still wanted to learn again, said. "I really don't know what the teacher said, so thank you so much, tell me about it."

David thought that Wang Tian would understand, but when he heard that Wang Tian was a layman and was not so powerful at all, he snorted secretly, but relaxed his guard. "Okay, I'll tell you about it."

Qi Lusa was even more enthusiastic, "Wang Tian, 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." ”

"Well, I'd like to hear about it."

David: This will be popular. "Wang Tian, since you don't understand, then I'll tell you about the tools of sculpture first. There are many tools for our sculpture, 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 head of the knife is divided into oblique triangle, willow leaf, leaf and arrow, 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. ”

Wang Tian nodded frequently, because these applications in oriental sculpture are also relatively common.

It's just that his ordinary sculptures are basically hammered with knives, but the use of this bow handle and point meter is relatively unfamiliar.

Wang Tiandao. "Brother David, can you be more specific about the bow handle and point meter you said?"

David was a little pretentious and triumphant. "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 is the proportional bow, which is a measuring tool for sculptural magnification. "As for the dot meter, ask Senior Sister Qi Lusa to tell you."

In fact, David can only use it, but he can't say it.

He pushed the ball to Zilusa, who gave him an enthusiastic introduction. "Wang Tian, the point type instrument is a three-coordinate locator, which is used to copy stone carvings and wood carvings. We usually find 3 datum points on the plaster statue, use the positioning steel on the dot meter to align and fix, use the sliding parts and universal joints and pointers on the dot gauge to align any space position on the statue, lock the movable parts, and then move the dot gauge to the stone or wood, the steel is aimed at the corresponding datum point, the pointer can mark the points on the plaster statue on the stone or wood block, and it can be accurately copied into stone carvings and wood carvings. ”

Wang Tian heard a little foggy, in order to be more specific and vivid, Qi Lusa took the initiative to take a point shape instrument for Wang Tian to experience in person, in this studio, there are a lot of clay sculptures, Qi Lusa first found a sculpture template, and then used the point shape instrument to take three base points on the top, 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.

In this way, the image is a lot.

Zilusa pointed to the specimen. "You see, with this point shaper, we are more prepared to reproduce a sculpture of art, and the error is minimized."

Wang Tian completely understood.

"Oh, I see, it turns out that using this instrument can make sculptures more accurate." Wang Tian said while slandering, with this thing, he saved a lot of brains.

"Senior Sister Qi Lusa, thank you very much, but I still have a question, that is, whether this clay sculpture is the original material of our sculpture, I see that there are many such clay sculptures in this studio, and there are some iron shelves over there........."
