356. Blaze a trail
At the instigation of Lao Tong, the dean who said that he was also taking time out of his busy schedule and asked Wan Changsheng to lead the way to the Damei Training School.
There are more office areas on the road, such as fashion stores and photo studios, than school institutions.
The dean of the Shuchuan Academy of Fine Arts walked in, even if there was no fanfare, Aunt Xu, who rushed out from behind the front desk, almost didn't cry, and shook the hand of the hospital director hard.
Maybe he left the attached middle school that was closed, and now he is re-valued.
The taste is only understood by this former administrative aunt of the high school.
This also attracted the attention of the parents of students in the office area.
Lao Tong's free and easy style, a cardigan Tang shirt and thick-soled cloth shoes, even if the ordinary flat head also reveals the artist's temperament.
Over the years, the name of the great painter has been different.
The temperament of the artist's leadership.
When they heard the whispers of the members of the Great Art Society who quietly slipped away along the wall that this was the dean of the Academy of Fine Arts, the parents were afraid that they only had the urge to pay for it.
It's just a bureaucratic feeling.
Fortunately, Wan Changsheng just gave a brief introduction, and he didn't even take the office area on the second floor with him, let alone sit in his office.
For the students of the Academy of Fine Arts, what a rare opportunity to get acquainted with the leaders of the Academy.
Wan Changsheng doesn't need it.
The most rare thing is that the members of the Great Beauty Society also take it for granted, and they are busy on the second floor with smiles on their faces.
said that today this is considered a truancy and was caught by the dean.
The dean came out and looked at the huge vertical ten-meter-high slender signboard, and when he walked down, he actually said: "It's too commercial, I saw this sign when I was passing by on the road, and I didn't believe that the white one below was the office......"
Wan Changsheng actually responded: "False and real!" ”
The dean was disgusted.
After all, he is still a painter at heart.
And the magnificent classroom warehouse, others seem to have graffiti amazing, but insiders seem to have a factory feeling.
This is what the dean doesn't like very much: "It's like an assembly line!" ”
Wan Changsheng was disrespectful: "You give me a huge territory, I can also make it very loose like an assembly line, but now I just want to use the limited cost to bring as many students as possible, and the money saved is used to do youth training, and I don't want to make this kind of wholesale assembly line for art examination training, but this is the status quo, it is useless to complain and complain, I can plant trees through this situation first, and slowly it will change little by little." ”
Lao Tong is said to be a college roommate in the same dormitory as the dean, and it is strange that he has to be the head of the department and can still be an elder, and his speech is not so restrained: "How many years have we been scolding, but what changes have we actually made?" I said that it is better than Wan Changsheng. ”
Wan Changsheng was humble at this time: "It's not me, it's the times that happen to come to this time, ten, twenty, thirty years ago, I couldn't do it if I thought about it like this, at that time, not so many parents realized that learning art had a future, let alone thinking about whether their children had artistic talent, it coincided with the prosperous era, right." ”
The dean touched the cigarette and shook it to the old boy, and by the way, he also signaled to Wan Changsheng, Lu Tao, who saw it from afar, was about to cry, when the student could get a cigarette from the dean?
Wan Changsheng was serious: "Oh, thank you, I don't smoke, let's go this way......"
The dean also pulled Lao Tong outside to smoke before going in: "These pillars are still a little interesting, I think it is still necessary to attach the middle school." ”
Lao Tong looked at Wan Changsheng and revealed: "This little kid opposes it face to face!" ”
The dean also looked at it and said, "Of course he wants to be free and earn more!" But Wan Changsheng, can you be the principal of this training school for the rest of your life? Take another 10,000 steps back and say, you're retired, can you still do this here? ”
Wan Changsheng laughed: "Your way of thinking ...... Ten years, twenty years later, I don't know how the art examination market is, anyway, I think it's not much meaningful to engage in what is attached to the middle school, market inspection is the only standard, how do you say this? ”
Lao Tong almost played him with a cigarette butt: "Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and now it is a market-oriented free test of the economy, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, huh?" Lao Fan is still painting on your side, he has been painting for a month or two, right? ”
Wan Changsheng also pursed his lips and whispered: "I'm going to charge him for food." ”
The dean must still be a little shocked when he walked into the scene of thousands of art candidates, this is his future student, Wan Changsheng is equivalent to helping him lead the preparatory class, but this environment is indeed very crowded.
There is no such thing as a swaggering taste for art learning.
So his face was more grim.
To be honest, the dean, who has always painted local themes, was already serious, but now he found that his teaching assistants were a little silent and secretly grimaced at Wan Changsheng.
The art candidates were like ripples in the rain, spreading their words from point to point, and then exclaiming one after another.
I'm even more excited to be in the right place.
Lao Tong didn't care, he followed behind and whispered to Wan Changsheng: "Do you still invite that gold medal mentor this year?" ”
Wan Changsheng smiled: "Yes, but it's just a group of two or three days like before, it's not a full shop, because we help teach and learn about the same, and we can definitely replace it with another year or two." ”
Lao Tong nodded, deliberately walked faster, and led the dean up the stairs to Lao Fan's side, but the dean, who was also an oil painter, only looked at Lao Fan's erection from a distance, and then turned around and began to observe again along the small classroom.
This is the classification of sculpture classrooms, stage art classrooms, and Chinese painting classrooms.
The clay sculpture classroom is the most popular, forty or fifty art candidates who are interested in sculpture, they will do something in the clay sculpture classroom when they have time, Wan Changsheng, Ma Zhenyu and even Guo Huaisheng sometimes come to see it and will point out, do not seek what to do, first understand the basic knowledge of clay sculpture, and in turn the three-dimensional sculpture has been done, the sketch will also be improved, and the three-dimensional sense of experience is more profound.
Wan Changsheng was introducing this, but the dean walked into the classroom next to him, and he was just standing at the door to take a look at the previous rooms.
This time, he walked directly to the table inside, propped his hands on his knees, and bent down to look at a black and white pen drawing on the table......
Amira is drawing.
He is eleven years old, and in fact, some professional summer classes are already accepting twelve or thirteen-year-old children to draw sketch colors, and some children with higher talent can really draw like each other.
But Amira was never asked to paint a sketch color.
He also looks younger than his actual age.
At this time, I was a little struggling to lie on the table and chair designed for eighteen or nineteen-year-old art candidates, and drew seriously.
Wan Changsheng took a look at it and was also surprised!
What did Amira draw?
Anyway, Wan Changsheng would never be able to draw it himself.
To be more precise, it is to crush a bag of instant noodles and pastries in a bag, then pour out a bunch of them, and slowly draw them into the shape of cows, sheep and horses with your fingers!
All the brushstrokes are like small circles and short joints like instant noodles and crumbs, or like a bunch of earthworms entwined together, and if you look at it for someone with a dense phobia, you may have goosebumps on your body.
But this is the way of painting, which does not need light and shade, does not need details, it is just entangled to make up a kaleidoscopic shape.
Wan Changsheng felt like cows, sheep and horses, but in fact, when he looked at it again, it was a bit like a path in the grass, or it was similar to cell fission.
Anyway, it's different from all the sketches outside.
Xu Zhaohui was sitting next to him helplessly, and when he saw Wan Changsheng still wanting to get up, he was stopped by his eyes.
The dean just held his knees and watched intently for a while.
The old boy was surprised, probed to observe the black child, and then turned back to ask Wan Changsheng with his eyes.
Wan Changsheng took two steps out and leaned on the railing outside to introduce Amira's situation: "It just so happened that yesterday our partner in charge of children's painting enlightenment was talking about this child being a little special...... In fact, last year we had an art candidate, yes, yes, yes, he painted this kind of thing I said how déjà vu, last year we had an art candidate who liked to paint like this, whimsical and free to draw and play, this year I was admitted to Qingmei, this child must have been taught by her remote control, do you think this painting method is interesting? ”
Lao Tong smiled: "I'm not engaged in children's painting education, but have you forgotten that what we are most attacked for is that it restricts children's imagination and imprisons creativity, isn't this imagination creativity?" In recent years, the enrollment of art academies in European countries has favored this kind of children with their own artistic talents, but they are not ghosts......"
The dean seemed to hear the conversation outside, and withdrew lightly: "This is the youth training you are doing?" ”
Wan Changsheng honestly admitted: "I am still groping, striving for the recent teaching plan, and someone reminded me to pay attention to this child's ......"
It was really this moment for him to suddenly realize that this might just be the right time!
From Wan Changsheng to Lao Tong, and then to Teacher Wu in the gold medal tutor, they all understand that the current art education system in China is not quite right, and the art examination is unreasonable, at least it is much backward and outdated compared to the international practice.
It is a one-size-fits-all sketch color test at every turn, and such an exam-taking practice can only survive in the domestic system, and cannot go to the world at all.
Therefore, including Wan Changsheng himself, he has been saying that all the current practices are to compromise as much as possible under the current mechanism.
Make money first, and then use the money to cultivate a better and more reasonable art environment for young people.
But what if the environment has changed?
Is it forcing institutional reform?
That's the least realistic thing to do.
So Wan Changsheng just took one step at a time, did it first and then said, as much as possible to make this process profitable, no matter what, after making money and then continuously investing in changes, quantitative changes to qualitative changes, there will always be a change on the day, he doesn't even care if it can change in his own life, this is probably also thousands of years, the Wan family is used to the patience passed down from generation to generation.
After all, no parent in China would be willing to send their children to such a training school to learn to paint, but they don't know where the future holds.
The bottom line requirement for coming to study is to be able to be admitted to university, and then to the Academy of Fine Arts, the higher requirement is to be a painter, make a lot of money, the most knowledgeable at least is to respect the child's hobby choice, but also to consider the design for the future life.
That's the reality.
No parent is willing to sacrifice their children for the development of art education.
But apparently Amira is definitely an alternative!
He is not Chinese, he does not have to toss in the domestic system at all, with his family's background, in the future, when this child becomes an adult, there is a high probability that he will either be in West Asia or in Europe and the United States.
Therefore, this child does not need to consider the pressure of going to school, and can purely follow the path of artistic cultivation and innate interest.
If he can find his own way to become a talent, wouldn't that prove a way?
