The particularity of Chinese painting examination requires candidates to pay attention to their usual basic skills and abilities and give full play to their perceptual knowledge on the spot. For landscapes, people, flowers and birds, there are still similarities. Sketch is mainly the embodiment of basic skills, first of all, accurate modeling, followed by vivid pictures. Sketching write slowly should try to summarize the performance in time and pursue the effect on the basis of accuracy. Sketching and creation are important parts of Chinese painting. First of all, we should pay attention to the big picture structure, the use of line type and the composition of pen and ink to achieve a visual balance, and the composition of lines and the usage of pen and ink should be unified and coordinated. But the purpose of lines and pen and ink is modeling, grasping the whole and expressing the big structural dynamics and facial features of the object is the fundamental purpose.
In actual operation, you can choose some combinations of hook, twist, dye, dot and wipe, but no matter which one you choose, you must draw it in place. To maintain the best effect of ink, whether it is local carving or overall effect, we should pay attention to the contrast of ink shade, wet and dry, area, the length, thickness, density of lines and the speed of writing.
You can have a moderate sense of tension during the exam, you can mobilize your emotions, integrate your feelings into painting, and it is easy to find the moving parts of objective objects. Try to draw as much as possible before the exam, don't float on the surface, and carefully clean up about one-third later. If you are sure, you can even draw partially and finally clean up the picture. In addition, if you have time in the examination room, you can also look at other students' papers to find out your own shortcomings with them, which can sometimes give you a hint so as to remedy it in time and get higher scores. Of course, this is limited to the available tips, and you can't lose the general direction and style of your own picture. The specific modeling characteristics, the composition law of pen and ink, and the composition form of Chinese painting specialty are also different, but mastering a basic way in the examination room is the best way.
Chinese painting (calligraphy major)
Starting from this year, the calligraphy professional examination has been reduced from the previous four courses of calligraphy, seal cutting, ancient Chinese and the basis of Chinese painting to three courses, and the investigation of the basis of Chinese painting has been cancelled.
For calligraphy, the most important things are regular script, seal script and running script. Official script is very changeable. For regular script, it is best for Ou Yangxun and Chu Suiliang to cooperate, such as inscriptions such as Jiucheng Palace Monument, Preface to the Holy Teaching of Yanta and Ni Kuanzan. Seal script is generally based on the seal script of Qing Dynasty, such as the artistic style of Deng and Wu Xiangzhi. As a basic requirement, stone carvings in Yishan, Qin Zhuan, such as Li Si, will also be investigated, depending on the examiner. The running script is mainly in the style of "two kings", which is basically two posts: Preface to Lanting and Preface to Saint Education. It is generally no problem for candidates to master these two positions. Therefore, we must have a certain ability to face or face.
For seal cutting, generally speaking, it is an investigation of Bai and Zhu. Bai is generally Kao Han Man, and Zhu Wen is generally round Zhu Wen or similar to the style of Xiling Eight Schools. For the vernacular of Han and Manchu, we should pay attention to its rich and simple carving style, and the lines of Zhu should pay attention to its rhythm and richness, not thin and flashy. The carving of seal cutting should be in-depth within a limited time.
Calligraphy papers are generally semi-cooked four-foot rice paper, with a common size of four feet vertically, and the text content is generally two or three crosses of Tang poetry and Song poetry. The goal of calligraphy inspection is mainly to use pen and structure. Using a pen requires thick and concise strokes, and the center should pay attention to the rhythm of writing and try to avoid the appearance of writing habits. Structurally speaking, the basic requirements are symmetrical structure, neat composition and strong sense of integrity. Stone materials are distributed uniformly for the seal cutting examination, and tools such as carving knives and inkpad are provided by candidates. Seal cutting inspection time is often very short, so we should pay attention to adjustment. Generally speaking, the test is mainly about creation, and it is necessary to master the technology of lettering on seals.
Another thing to remind candidates is to pay attention to the improvement of their comprehensive quality and self-cultivation. Now, in the process of examination, sometimes it's not just operation. Even in the examination of calligraphy and seal cutting, there is often an additional question to examine the examinee's mastery of common sense of calligraphy and seal cutting and his preliminary understanding of calligraphy theory, because the school wants to train not only a person who can write, but also an artist.
