322. Sometimes there must be in life
Wan Changsheng is engaged in creation.
From the time Jia Huanhuan celebrated his birthday and happened to stay outside the school gate and heard so many parents chatting and sighing, Wan Changsheng came up with the idea of creating Zhang Guohua.
This is also the biggest resentment of the head of the department and Lao Tong against him.
The sculpture department has only been mixed for a long time, and it has produced such a loud work, and it has also engaged in the Buddha statue business with Guo Dacang.
Not to mention how many clay sculptures and carving exercises Wan Changsheng has made on weekdays, just by virtue of the clay sculpture made for Professor Gou, it can basically be regarded as an academic year's work, and many first- and second-year sculpture students can't make such things with obvious style characteristics.
The students of the Academy of Fine Arts, when they say a thousand things and ten thousand, still have to speak with their works.
Wan Changsheng didn't produce any works in the Department of Chinese Painting, so he painted a Buddha statue of a little monk and a girl in the last Gongbi study, which is enough for the average sophomore and junior students.
But Wan Changsheng was last year's champion, so he has high requirements.
And even the seal carving has at least handed over some things, but the bank is empty.
Therefore, Wan Changsheng must make a Chinese painting work to make a difference.
This is also one of the requirements for early graduation.
Just like he said to Xu Zhaohui, a group portrait that pays attention to artistic conception.
Doesn't it mean that the Buddha statue of the little monk and the girl is not qualified?
Wan Changsheng simply drew a long group portrait.
This is also one of the reasons for his frequent return to Ningzhou No. 2 Middle School from April to June, and he sits outside the school gate almost every time, capturing the figure that many parents are waiting for.
According to the common size of rice paper, it is one foot five high, but it is four or five meters long!
Speaking of which, Wan Changsheng is also naughty.
If the painting is small, it is easy to be confused by everyone, so I will draw a longer one, very long, just like those famous works in history, such as "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", "Qingming Riverside Map", etc., are all in the form of this kind of scroll.
In the era when there were no mobile phones, computers and cameras, and it was not so convenient for anyone to fly around and travel abroad, the only way for the ancients to appreciate and record the rare beauty was to paint.
When encountering this kind of scene of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and a metropolis, as the reel is slowly unfolded, it is like watching a movie shake the camera position, and the scenery on the screen is dizzying.
Wan Changsheng hit this idea.
In fact, in the view of his painting ability, it is nothing more than a win by quantity.
Not much innovation.
Indeed, compared with the three-dimensional structural expression of sculpture, painting has become more and more detached from the practical use of ancient times, especially Chinese painting, which has basically left only the effect of self-cultivation of sentiment by literati and scholars.
It's also hard to play any new tricks.
After all, thousands of years of ancient culture have painted everything that can be painted.
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it was difficult to turn from realistic classicism to a series of new tricks such as impressionism, modernism, and postmodernism.
Over the years, Chinese painting has also done new tricks to hollow out the mind and change ideas, either being scolded to death, losing the craftsmanship of the ancestors, or only defrauding foreigners of money, and it is always difficult to get out of everyone.
Various schools of thought are also fighting fiercely for their own interests or authority.
Just like Lao Tong and Lao Gou, they both belong to the internal disputes in the category of Chinese painting.
Wan Changsheng will definitely not wade into this kind of troubled water, so the decent part-time work is written, and the whole is presented in accordance with the characteristics of modern wear, but it follows the handwriting of the ancient style of painting.
99 figures appear on the scroll in a variety of ways.
But it's not a simple list of characters.
Instead, it follows the panoramic composition of traditional Chinese painting, with campus life as the main line, combined with close-up, medium, and long-range shots, but there is no picture of the school building, and all kinds of characters are used to compose the picture.
This is a bit of a test of painting composition.
It's just that Wan Changsheng has been accustomed to painting this kind of big scene in the temple since he was a child, what is like the Buddha's lecture map, the surrounding Arhats, several King Kongs, Bodhisattvas with different expressions or sitting or standing, or the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, the eighteen filial piety pictures, etc., are all like this, try not to have buildings to affect the theme, all rely on the relationship between a person to attract lay tourists to enjoy the tour.
There is no difficulty for him in how to draw the figures, and the difficulty lies in how to arrange them.
So back in Jiangzhou, Wan Changsheng also went to the surrounding primary schools and kindergartens to observe.
The harvest is very rewarding.
The sketch was conceived several times, and finally the arrangement and combination were chosen, that is, the composition of the professional industry.
Wan Changsheng called to ask if Xu Zhaohui was free between treatments, so he hurried over.
At this time, Xu Zhaohui definitely did not have the level to help him paint, mainly hoping to let him try to follow the birth of such a painting, thoroughly understand some skills and rules of Chinese painting, and make up his mind whether to learn Chinese painting at this moment when he was about to fill in the college entrance examination volunteer.
For Xu Zhaohui to give up the bonus, he must be determined to follow his master to learn Chinese painting, Wan Changsheng's heart still hopes that he will consider that learning Chinese painting is indeed not as marketable as sculpture or oil painting.
Ideals are one thing, but they must be right first.
Xu Zhaohui also went downstairs to Fei Xueyan's house and handed over the free summer training class about Guanyin Village to her, and then came to Jiangzhou to find the master with a large stack of sketches and color exercises.
Luo Youdao, who rushed to the Pingjing Drama Academy in mid-June to take the independent entrance exam, also returned.
The other six art candidates who took the exam, even if they were completely on vacation, no matter whether they could attend the opera or not, their professional and cultural achievements could ensure that they could at least go to university.
Luo Youdao is different, he has not participated in this year's professional exam, he is the kind of weird talent in the real sense of independent enrollment, the talent that everyone can see, but he can't walk in according to ordinary channels.
Before waiting for the confirmation of the independent admission, he had to rush back to work overtime to study sketching, coloring, and sketching.
Wan Changsheng's principal's office was still kept before it was installed outside, and now the boss's desk has become his Chinese painting table: "Regardless of whether the independent enrollment is successful or not, I hope you can stay in Damei this summer vacation and polish these three basic courses, because no matter which stage art major you apply for the Drama Academy, including computer art design, there are basic courses, and you must ensure the basic skills of sketching color, if you skip this professional exam, then you are likely to not be able to keep up with the progress of others after entering the school. Your mindset is susceptible. ”
Luo Youdao was already grateful: "I know, I know that you fought for me this opportunity for independent enrollment, my parents said that I followed a good teacher, whether it succeeds or not, let me try, I must listen to you!" ”
Wan Changsheng also asked Luo Youdao to help him conceive this layout.
After all, Luo Youdao's dense painting method at his fingertips, and the interest of different individuals related to each other, are all outstanding.
Even if this guy is not so good at drawing people, when it comes to mutual relationships, it seems to have turned on the movie machine in his mind again: "This is boring to be able to squat at the base of the wall with your arms crossed, and you can put other things on your hand when you play cards, such as vegetables you buy, empty wine bottles, teacups, etc......."
While talking, he also compared those actions to Wan Changsheng.
Luo Youdao, who is about the same age as Jia Huanhuan, is so difficult to paint sketches and colors, only when painting this kind of thing, it seems that he is born with a strong sense of observation.
Full of childlike observation, he is always able to dig out the details of humor and laughter.
Usually talking about other things is a little bit unsatisfactory guy, only when the picture is expressed, it is called a clear.
didn't say enough, he grabbed the pen and paper on the table and drew it for Wan Changsheng to see.
I don't feel at all that I am qualified to guide the principal.
This made Xu Zhaohui, who walked in, holding his own work, standing by the door and watching silently.
Maybe no one has his desire for life, and the more he is tortured by this terminal illness, the more he wants to cherish the beauty in life.
I envy Luo Youdao's kind of engrossed dedication.
Wan Changsheng glanced at his apprentice and called him over to look at the high stool sitting next to him: "Will this be tiring?" ”
Xu Zhaohui was simple: "It's good, it's good to look like this." ”
When Luo Youdao went to the classroom, Wan Changsheng began to draw lines directly on rice paper under the gaze of his apprentices.
While drawing by himself, he also taught Xu Zhaohui the scriptures: "Many students in the Department of Chinese Painting still use a pencil to hook the foundation and then draw a line drawing, do you need to write calligraphy with a pencil first?" In the final analysis, the basic skills are still not enough, but the pace of the city is so fast now, few people can calm down and practice this basic skills, after all, the cost performance is very low, and it doesn't take much time to make up with a pencil, and it won't go wrong. ”
Xu Zhaohui directed: "Then I'll start by practicing calligraphy?" ”
Wan Changsheng smiled: "You haven't thought about which art form you are suitable for?" ”
Xu Zhaohui shook his head lightly: "You told me that before people die, they all thought that everything they had was taken for granted, and now I probably know this truth, I cherish everything in front of me, but in comparison, it seems that I don't have the kind of thinking that Fei Xueyan likes to paint imaginatively, I just want to paint quietly with a little thinking like you." ”
Wan Changsheng is not in a hurry: "You are living in my office these days, my books here, this part is mainly sculpture, this part is the history of world art, including Chinese painting, this part is related to seal carving, you can take a look, do you need me to contact a local hospital in Jiangzhou for you?" ”
Xu Zhaohui nodded first and then shook his head: "In July, I only have two chemotherapy left, the day before yesterday, after just doing the fourth chemotherapy, I did a PETCT evaluation, and the doctor said that I have eliminated the tumor cells in my whole body now, and the remaining two are consolidation chemotherapy." ”
Wan Changsheng raised his head with joy: "Then it can be considered cured?" ”
Xu Zhaohui shook his head lightly: "It may relapse at any time, this is just to remove the tumor cells in the body, and it is likely to recur in the short term, the second stage starts to do radiotherapy, radiotherapy, which is to be controlled in the radioactive environment of nuclear substances, after this step is completed, it is the transplantation of stem cells, which is equivalent to replacing your own blood circulation cells with new ones, and there is no kind of ...... infected by tumor cells."
He's understated, but it's a scalp-tingling treatment when you think about it.
For more than ten years, Wan Changsheng inevitably wondered if his father had time to receive such treatment, would he still be able to accompany him.
So pick up the pen: "Come, learn from me, what can support you to have a strong heart, only spiritual cultivation, Chinese painting does have this kind of broad and profound connotation......"
Something, really fate.
Xu Zhaohui may really interpret Chinese painting with his life.
