@Class Li (Freshman):
Homework in school, can Teacher Yu comment on it? Sometimes I can’t express Drawing language is too restrictive compared to my classmates.

Still life posed by Li's teacher

Li's work
@Yu Xiaodong:
I will talk about your painting now.
I saw this painting of Li Qingwen yesterday. Why did your teacher put such a still life? I think you should first be clear and think clearly, that is, clarify the teacher’s teaching intentions. Why is it like this? I guess and guess, because there is also such a teaching method in the teaching of Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts. It may be in the sketching stage, or it may be in the stage of using oil paintings to make further sketching. Teaching intentions such as
, for example, in a space or on the table, the teacher definitely hopes that you can choose some objects that can form the picture here by yourself. Then how to choose? The first thing is that you are proactive. You are a person who chooses and cuts composition and chooses the picture. So first, trains your composition ability .
The composition ability is actually an abstract ability, which is the points, lines, surfaces, black, white and gray, straight lines, curves, squares, circles, long lines, short lines and other factors here. You treat them as abstract factors. The still life you see now are all concrete, such as wheels, plaster, hemp rope, fishing nets, etc. These things become abstract elements that make up the picture on the picture. Think about this matter clearly.
is to use these elements to construct the picture. I guess it is your teacher’s basic teaching intention. So in the first step of composition, you have to use your brain more and have more solutions, and finally choose a picture you recognize. In fact, it is to train us to intercept, select, and construct, and train our ability. This ability is very, very important for the future development of an artist. I think this teaching intention must be like this, so first of all, you must clarify this point.
Okay, let’s see if your paintings fulfill this intention?
You can ask yourself first, how did you think about it? Is it a little bit hard to start looking at a bunch of messy things? Then I guess there may be such confusion, such as putting the shape of the wheel with a very round wheel in the middle of the picture, yes, not no, then did you take the initiative to put it in the middle or didn’t think it too clearly, so you drew it in the middle. If you take the initiative to put it in the middle? There should be a reason, such as how to cooperate with the side next to it? So how is this circle complete? Or cut? Is there any prospect? Are the circles in the middle or behind, etc., are they all arranged actively? Did you choose it carefully? If so, then that's right. If not, that's a little problem.
As for whether your drawing is good or not, I think it is not easy to judge what is? Good means that the teacher’s teaching intention is realized, which is good; bad means that the teacher’s teaching intention is not realized, and the idea is not very clear, which is bad. For example, a friend on the Internet said that your circle is not a perfect match, etc. If this is an abandoned wheel, it is likely that it is not a perfect match, and it may be a perfect match. Yes, then you can use this unrounded and defective circle as an available element of your picture, which can also be established, so it cannot be generalized. If you say that it is better to draw it, it is better to draw it, it is better to draw it in depth, or it is better to draw it in depth, I think this is all second.Let me emphasize one more thing, that is, you have to ask yourself whether you have fulfilled the teaching intentions that the teacher asked you.
In fact, it is very important to have several abilities in painting.
First of all, it is your aesthetic judgment. This aesthetic judgment is very complicated. It is related to your growth, your knowledge background, your aesthetic cultivation, and many factors other than painting.
The second step is your ability to construct the picture, so the still life you teacher put on is to train this ability. In the past, we thought that drawing was just the ability to portray, which is the ability to shape, not. You need to consider aesthetic factors and picture construction factors. In fact, picture construction is led by your aesthetics, your aesthetic judgments and choices, so it is very, very important. This is the second step, the construction of the picture is an important step to implement it on the picture.
The third step is your ability to portray. For example, you can draw something very accurately and express the intention you want to express very accurately. This is the basic ability we need to solve in the second step. This ability may often be mentioned to the first step too early by the people who paint, thinking that this is all about painting, but it is not. So we also see many such examples in the history of art. For example, he has strong modeling ability, strong portrayal ability, and very good painting. Many such painters in the 19th century must have painted better than Goya . Then, if you draw a hand or draw a carving pattern, it may be even more than Rembrandt . So is he a master like Goya and Rembrandt?

Then why aren't these painters? I think in the first two steps, they did not reach the level of a master. aesthetic judgment and picture construction are extremely important.
Okay, I talked about aesthetic judgment, picture construction and portrayal ability. Aren’t these three parts? Then if you develop again, there may be a fourth part, which is your tone control ability and color ability. Then, you may also have the proficiency of your mastery of means when using materials and tools. These things are also very important. I think they are all mutually causal. Then you should know what is the most important thing, divide it into several steps and several parts, and think it clearly. OK, I'll just say so much. As for the quality of this painting, can you judge it yourself from this perspective?
I think I was talking about it very important today, because why didn’t I tell you in time, and my mind was also turning around. I said how should I judge this painting? So what can we think about this painting? Then I think it will be useful to the friends in the group if we explain this part clearly.

@Yu Xiaodong:
This is what I want to say. Overall, this sketch is well drawn, but before and after, including fragmentation and integration, you should pay more attention to it. However, if you are not a freshman or a senior in your grade now, many problems may have been solved for your reference.
@Classmate Li:
Teacher Yu has explained too much, I should reflect on my painting ideas and thoughts. Maybe I didn't think so much at the beginning, which led to the post-hum tone dissonance. I will continue to adjust this painting tomorrow. Thank you Teacher Yu for your comment.
Interaction of friends
@Monday:
Do not compare painting with others, feel and learn from the language of your predecessors. Language is not formed in a short time. If you practice it slowly, you are already great.Teacher Yu said it very well. It is very beneficial to screenshots and collected
@Ziwen:
Long-term homework needs special attention to structure and details
@Boji:
I was particularly moved when I heard Teacher Yu Xiaodong’s patient explanation. I really thank the Internet and Teacher Yu Xiaodong , so that we can enjoy this educational resource.
