Regarding Xu Beihong's proposition that "sketch is the foundation of all plastic arts" in 1950s, Luo Qi, director of the plastic foundation department of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, thinks that it is no problem to understand this statement in the background of that time.

He said: "Under the requirements of the times when Chinese painting is facing changes, Mr. Xu Beihong put forward such a view, which is a change and innovation based on the original Chinese painting, with pen and ink and calligraphy as the core.

It is an unprecedented creation in China to introduce scientific factors such as anatomy and perspective into art education. Therefore, the introduction of the concept of sketch at that time greatly enriched our understanding of plastic arts, which was beneficial. "

In today's background, many scholars believe that although sketch is not the only basis and means to learn painting, it still plays a very important role in the learning process of various art disciplines, and different majors have different emphases.

For example, Tang Yongli thinks that for a China figure painter, his sketch level determines the direction of his artistic path and his artistic height.

As an art, sketch has an established expression paradigm and an expanding boundary. In the study and exploration of art, sketch is both a process and a result.

As Wang Chaogang said: "Sketch training is a process of exploration, construction and expression for art students. It provides the foundation and motivation for creation, and it can also constitute a complete creative process. "

For another example, Zhang Qian said: "The elements that constitute beauty in tradition have never lost their meaning, but what has changed is the connotation of beauty. With the development of the times, people's understanding of beauty is getting richer and richer, and the media that express and carry beauty are constantly coming out, which leads to the diversified appearance of contemporary art.

In this sense, sketch, as the simplest and most effective training method, still has its existing value and vigorous vitality. "
