Guo Huaisheng was even more excited than the two apprentices.

took off his suit, revealing the light blue shirt inside, and rolled up his sleeves: "Candidates, hello everyone, I am the current head of the sculpture department of Shuchuan Academy of Fine Arts, Guo Huaisheng, the title is professor, graduate tutor, this is Wan Changsheng, just entered our sculpture department to study, he actually said that he didn't know that there was a sculpture department when he was a candidate, which makes me feel the need to introduce to you, what is our sculpture department......"

For candidates, the students of the Academy of Fine Arts need to look up, and the teachers are even higher.

The head of the department, that is the existence of a heaven-level master, I never thought that I would be in contact, let alone that there would be such a situation where a graduate tutor would come to give lectures.

Even the two tour instructors turned on their mobile phones and quietly stood next to them to take pictures and videos, a little excited.

For them, they are all scenes that can be taken out and boasted of.

Guo Huaisheng only showed his heavy attitude towards students at this time: "This is Xu Huan, a graduate student of our sculpture department, who specializes in landscape sculpture, that is, environmental sculpture and urban sculpture that are often seen indoors and outdoors, and another professional direction of the sculpture department is sculpture art, focusing on artistic creation, which is just like the whole art major is divided into painting art and craft advertising." ”

It is certainly more difficult to carve stone than to make clay sculptures, because hard stones are laborious.

Within the sculpture department, stone carving is involved, and power tools are now used extensively to drill, cut, and polish.

Where like Wan Changsheng started to do it with just a chisel shovel blade more than three fingers wide, Xu Huan thought that he must have an advantage in speed.

But neither he nor Guo Huaisheng may have touched the seal stone.

In the hands of people who are familiar with the texture, this kind of stone seems to be hard, but in fact it has a strong carving.

Under Wan Changsheng's chrome-vanadium alloy steel carving knife, there is even a sharp feeling of cutting butter with a quick knife.

Now this big knife is not so powerful, but when struck with an iron block, it is also deadly!

Guo Huaisheng simply introduced the situation of the sculpture department: "...... Our Shuchuan Academy of Fine Arts has made many famous sculptures in the country over the years, and "Rent Collection Courtyard", which reflects the exploitation of working people by landlords in the old society, is the most famous ......"

I found that the eyes of everyone in front of me were a little flustered, and I couldn't help but turn my head along their line of sight, only to find that Wan Changsheng's stone square actually had some face outlines!

This guy picked up the carving knife, like a computer engraving machine, and everyone saw the stone rolling in his arms!

Wan Changsheng looked for the most suitable angle for the knife and the most convenient angle for his own carving from all angles.

His undistracted frenzied creative intensity is very eye-catching.

In contrast, Xu Hua is much more slow and methodical, and he does not specialize in Buddha statues, and after he probably has a Buddha statue shape in his mind, he began to use wooden squares to tamp and tighten the plastic clay wrapped on the skeleton, and he can also see a head shape coming out.

Then I can knead the dough in my hand, keep pulling a small piece, and use my fingers to twist it into a knife-cut dough piece, and stick it on the head!

If you don't have a business and open a noodle shop, you can probably live well.

Guo Huaisheng looked at an apprentice who was doing subtraction on the stone and adding on the clay sculpture, and felt that he was no more satisfied: "Carving, carving, and plasticity, these are the three major elements of sculpture, Wan Changsheng is carving, Xu Hua is molding, and finally they will enter the state of fine depiction. ”

Think about it or admit it: "The difficulty of carving is slightly greater than that of plastic, because you can also notice that once the carving is wrong, it is not easy to remedy, especially the stone carving, it is difficult to make up for a little mistake, but the advantage of clay sculpture is that it can be adjusted repeatedly." ”

The art candidates were silent.

Maybe some of them are running for the art examination culture requirements are not so high, and some parents ask their children to learn art as a more lucrative major.

The boring and tedious repeated intensive exercises must have made many people feel a little tired.

No matter how much you love art, you will also be aesthetically tired in this state.

But now the feeling is fresh enough.

It turns out that the world of art is so rich.

There is more admiration for Wan Changsheng.

"Brother Wan is usually so good at sketching classes, but I didn't expect sculpture to be so strong!"

"Look at his ......"

"It's a graduate student here, and it's also very strong!"

"Wow, that's handsome!"

"Ah, you think it would be great if I learned this craft and made something for my girlfriend?"

"Alas, look at your ideological realm, Brother Wan's craftsmanship is only used to dedicate hospitality to his sister-in-law?"

Fei Xueyan crossed her arms and stood in the middle of the students, with nothing but fanaticism behind the lenses of her glasses.

Xu Zhaohui listened to these whispered discussions, and he also wanted to learn sculpture when he looked at his expression!

Lu Tao mainly greeted the mentor: "Really, I heard that Wan Wan is ready to practice three main businesses at the same time, I was really scared, he only came here at this time last year to learn sketch color, and he has no foundation in Western techniques, look at what he looks like now!" ”

The tutor was accustomed to it: "You have to get used to the existence of geniuses, there are a few crazy people in our academy, but they are crazy enough for him to do this...... Rare, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, they are all all-round generalists in sculpture, oil painting and even scientific research, we can also produce one! ”

The tall and slender teacher Fan whispered: "When we were studying, we discussed why this kind of generalist rarely appears now, because now there are TVs, game consoles, the Internet, and now mobile phones, which distract too much attention, but it's good, he has never been keen on these things." ”

Another mentor whispered even more deviantly: "And these generalists don't seem to have girlfriends......"

Immediately, a few guys secretly laughed.

Guo Huaisheng hadn't spoken publicly anymore, and couldn't help but walk closer to Wan Changsheng to observe.

Because Wan Changsheng had already finished opening and closing, he took out his chrome-vanadium alloy steel carving knife and began to operate it finely!

Seal carving knives are usually double-ended on both sides, with a flat mouth on one side and an oblique mouth on the other.

Wan Changsheng is now pinching the flat mouth, and quickly portrays and shapes the person's face.

Just like he said to the monks in the temple in the morning, what is the shape of the Bodhisattva and the Buddha, in fact, in hundreds of thousands of years of inheritance, it has long been summarized 32 phases, not to say 72 changes like the monkey, but to refer to the standard of 32 parts of the Buddha statue from head to toe.

Among them, the facial features involved are even fine to what the eyelashes look like, and the eyelashes are clearly required to be eyelashes, which is called eyelashes, such as the king of the bull.

This is in order not to deviate from the handicraft passed down by word of mouth by various artists, and there may be some characteristics of the times and some local changes in general, but on the whole, it is the same.

In Wan Changsheng's heart, these guidelines have become a subconscious instinctive reaction just like why you can't use black in painting.

And the facial features, eyes, ears, mouth and nose details of those bodhisattvas will flow out of his hands basically without thinking!

It's just that fast enough to get to this point.

And just like the first small seal he carved for Du Wen, Wan Changsheng did not carve out the entire head, but as if only one side was cut, slowly showing the kind eyebrows and kind eyes from an angle, and the faces of all living beings were fat, and even the meat bun on the head only showed the bottom row, and the bottom was slightly past the chin.

In this way, his carving is much more ingenious, and the other side of the back remains the same square.

Instead, it contrasts with the sculpted face.

Let the people who look at his carvings have a strong feeling.

The students were very excited, and there was even a tendency to cheer for Wan Changsheng in unison.

was stopped by Guo Huaisheng raising his head and shaking, of course his perceptual power was strong, and he sighed slowly: "Do you have such a feeling, Wan Changsheng's carving is to rescue a Buddha from the stone?" ”

The students were silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but applaud vigorously!

Right!

That's how it feels.

Inside that stone, it seems that there is a soul!

Carving now is just to free the soul hidden in that stone!

It is precisely the original stone square, but only a part of the face is exposed, and it is more and more lifelike and compassionate.

The more I feel that this is the true face of the stone!

It turns out that carving, and there is such a charm!

That's the beauty of art.
