The entire CAFA school is not that big, and the Oil Painting Academy is even smaller. Pengpeng has already become familiar with several studios, so visiting the Oil Painting Academy is really meaningless to Pengpeng.
When Wu Ziyun led a group of people to various studios, the seniors and seniors all winked at each other when they saw Peng Peng, but because of today's occasion, they did not come up to say hello to Peng Peng.
"This is the main studio of our First Studio. The First Studio was established in the 1960s and has been in existence for more than sixty years. The First Studio advocates serious study of the period between Western Renaissance and Post-Impressionism.
The European painting tradition, and earnestly study the excellent Chinese painting tradition, and blaze a new path based on the tradition of poetry and painting."
Halfway through Wu Ziyun's introduction, he suddenly remembered that the audience in front of him were either parents with no art foundation at all, or children who had not studied art for a long time. What he just said seemed to have no effect on them.
So he adjusted his explanation method. He pointed to an oil painting on the wall and said, "This is an early work by the famous German painter Manstein. Manstein was born in 1802, and this work is
Created in 1834, when Impressionism had not yet appeared..."
Zhang Zhong has seen this work of Manstein many times, and almost always stops to look at it for a while. The name of this painting is "Water Waves", and the whole painting only contains the sparkling lake surface and the distant glow.
The rays of light reflected on the water are like the unclear light captured instantly by an old camera. This is already a bit impressionistic.
You must know that the era when this painting was created was the first half of the 19th century. At that time, the French painting world, the center of Western art, was still dominated by the official academic school. Paintings like Manstein's were very unpopular.
To be seen.
Not being welcomed by the academic community means that his paintings cannot be exhibited in official salons, which means that he cannot let others know him, cannot become famous, and cannot make money.
However, in the end Manstein did not become a pioneer of Impressionism, because apart from this "Water Waves", he never created other innovative works that broke the rules.
People regarded his behavior as a compromise to the official academic school and a compromise to money and fame, so that later Impressionist painters did not like him, even though he was the first to break the academic style.
Because of this history, Zhang Zhong never feels sad every time he sees this painting.
The first person to eat crabs is often called a warrior, but there are exceptions like Manstein.
His mistake was not continuing to eat crabs.
Zhang Zhong believes that people's demands on him are too harsh, and it is too unfair to put him on a high moral platform and whip him.
At least Manstein has opened the door to a new world for people.
However, just because he walked out of that new world, people who entered that new world later would sneer at him. This makes no sense.
Of course, if it weren't for Manstein's unpopularity with both parties, I'm afraid the First Studio of the Central Academy of Fine Arts would not have been able to obtain this painting.
In fact, Zhang Zhong had previously thought about asking the Oil Painting Academy if they were willing to part with the painting. He was willing to pay a reasonable price for the painting.
But later he gave up the idea. He had already passed the stage of bothering to collect it. Since he knew that letting the Oil Painting Academy give up this painting was a cut-off, there was no need to be so selfish, and it would be good for him to come and take a look at it every once in a while.
of.
…
Everyone followed Wu Ziyun through several studios. After listening to his introduction to the characteristics of the studio, the parents were still a little confused.
Of course they have heard about Renaissance and Impressionism, but hearing about them and knowing what they are are completely different things.
Relatively speaking, children hear a little more than they do.
In fact, it’s not about hearing more, but seeing more.
The adults paid attention to Wu Ziyun's explanation, but the children paid more attention to the painting itself. They could feel the charm of the painting itself without deliberately listening to Wu Ziyun's explanation.
No matter how much the teacher talks, it is not as good as the students themselves.
Even a person who has never received professional training will develop an artistic sense by looking at famous paintings every day.
Just like Pengpeng, this girl is not the type who loves learning anyway, but since she entered elementary school, her studies have not fallen behind, especially her Chinese scores, which are better than the average person.
There is no other reason than that she can read books every day and has been immersed in them.
After the visit, Wu Ziyun took his children and parents back to the main studio of Studio No. 1. The space is large and everyone can go in without feeling crowded.
Wu Ziyun stood in front of a drawing board and said with a smile, "The second step of this activity is for me to take you to experience the atmosphere of the oil painting academy. All the young painters present have teachers, and your teachers may have different styles.
They are not the same, so I will only talk to you about the most basic things in this class today. Some painters think that basic skills are not important, and I will not object to this, but before thinking that basic skills are not important, I think everyone should still
You need to know what basic skills are. You can’t just blindly deny them like some people who don’t even know what basic skills are, or who are not good at basic skills. This is not right..."
Class is about to start, and the students are quite happy, but the happiest are the students from the oil painting academy in the first studio.
Those parents don't know Wu Ziyun, but they all know him.
Being able to listen to Dean Wu give a class is a very rare thing, so they behaved more actively than those children.
The next process would take a long time. Zhang Zhong told his parents and Xu Yuhan and walked out of the oil painting academy.
Instead of listening to Wu Ziyun's class here and waiting for Pengpeng and the others to paint, he might as well go to the Chinese Painting Academy. He was already addicted to the tea at the Chinese Painting Academy.
After going to the Academy of Chinese Painting, he didn't find He Ruchu in the dean's office, so he went to the calligraphy teaching and research section. Xu Hai was not there either, so he had no choice but to go to the landscape, flower and bird teaching and research section.
Fortunately, he didn't miss out this time, and Xu Hai and Liang Xiao were both there.
When Zhang Zhong arrived, Xu Hai and Liang Xiao were chatting around a painting.
"I just said that your painting has too many distracting thoughts, and the messy flowers and plants are too eye-catching." Xu Hai pointed at the painting with his pipe.
The weather is still a little cold now, so Xu Hai naturally won't just wear an undershirt, but the pipe is still in hand.
