On the stage of this year's graduation exhibition of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, 1 100 graduates appeared in turn. After three, four, five or even longer years of study, they have completed their studies in the Academy of Fine Arts. In this SHOW TIME season, students who are about to bid farewell to the Academy of Fine Arts may still be in a state of excitement-the completion of graduation creation, anxiety before leaving school, praise from younger brothers and sisters, and so on. Through the temporary noise and calm, we can look back at these works, which are short and long compared with previous years.

Attaching importance to graduation design is the tradition of the Academy of Fine Arts. This is a summary of students' study at school. Both students and teachers have invested a lot, so people inside and outside the school are very concerned. Judging from students' graduation works, this year's graduation works tend to be daily and the expression of life state, focusing on a certain aspect of life and a subject of interest, such as the recording of life fragments, and no longer pursuing the big and complete. The creative methods are also more diverse and personalized. Generally speaking, this year's graduate works, whether graduate students or undergraduates, have higher overall quality and richer artistic expression language, especially this year's graduate exhibition, which has greatly improved the quality and made a breakthrough in the research and innovation of students' creation. It's really difficult to select impressive and outstanding works.

Judging from the undergraduate graduation exhibition, the most prominent problem reflected by everyone is the imbalance between majors, and the gap is not small. Some majors are outstanding, while others have not changed for many years. For example, this year, everyone has a high overall evaluation of the graduation works of printmaking students, which mainly stems from the teaching guiding ideology that has run through the printmaking department for many years. That is to say, students are required to consciously extend the expression ways and methods of printmaking language on the basis of mastering the basic knowledge and techniques of printmaking. The starting point comes from printmaking, and the direction and angle will extend outward according to their own performance needs, forming a diversified and rich face we see. Cross-border also reflects the infiltration from one field to another.

I was also impressed by the household products specialty of Urban Design College, and their graduation works were widely concerned and praised by everyone. Household products professional company was established five years ago. Is a young major, this year is the second graduate. The professionalism of young teachers is the key to achieve good teaching results. These young teachers are not only trained by the Academy of Fine Arts, but also returned from studying abroad. They all have an international vision, a sensitive understanding of the relationship between modern design and today's industrial development, and a passion for doing business, especially in the relatively unfavorable situation of running a school in Yanjiao, which seems to arouse their enthusiasm and want to do something. Starting from freshmen, they spend a lot of spare time with students, communicate at any time, and grow together along the way, creating a good learning and working atmosphere. I used to talk about the tradition of the Academy of Fine Arts, and I talked a lot about it within the academic scope. Seeing the teaching status of these young people can make people feel that a core part of the tradition of the Academy of Fine Arts is the love of teachers for students and art education. It is this love that allows the spirit of the Academy of Fine Arts to be passed down from generation to generation.

In addition, the picture book major of City College has always maintained a high teaching level. After ten years' cooperation with Alfred, the ceramic major has gradually entered the right track in cultural integration, and the overall quality of graduates has been continuously improved.

The graduate students' works in Sculpture Department this year are relatively strong, and the students' works have strong tension, while the undergraduates are slightly dull, and the individual expression of the works is not very prominent. The teaching and creation of murals have been relatively stable. There are many paintings in this graduation exhibition, and the public themes are less than those in previous murals.

For oil painting, everyone always expects to "reproduce the brilliance", but it has never appeared. Generally speaking, students lack some creative passion and strong desire to express themselves. It is possible that they want to show all their energy in a work too much, such as the theme, rigorous and solid basic skills, many contemporary problems, and too many ideas to highlight the key points. Judging from the general trend, the time when artists want to exert great influence through a work has passed.

This year, everyone seems to be somewhat disappointed with the performance of experimental art, and has made a breakthrough in the overall appearance. Different from the integrity of previous students' works, this year's students' works give viewers a feeling of wanting more and growing. Objectively speaking, some works do not fully express their ideas, and they lack knowledge and experience on how to express their ideas, so the overall control ability needs to be improved. But the overall appearance is still worthy of recognition.

The graduation works of the School of Design have always insisted on experimental exploration and paid attention to the expression of design concepts, and many exploratory design works have been affirmed. The works of students majoring in visual communication, digital media, photography and jewelry have always maintained a high level, and the works of graduates majoring in clothing are also excellent. The overall appearance of automobile design students' graduation works shows rich imagination and professional level.

In the past, the School of Architecture has always maintained a rigorous working attitude, which is reflected in both graduate exhibitions and undergraduate exhibitions. This is a basic quality necessary for an architect. In the process of summing up the graduation exhibition, they are constantly rethinking how to pay more attention to the original expression in the future graduation exhibition, not only the display of models and drawings, but also the value of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in running schools for architectural majors through the attention to beauty and aesthetics. What kind of architecture major to run is a question that the Academy of Fine Arts has been thinking about. If the standard of building a major is unique, then it is meaningless to build a major in the Academy of Fine Arts. For many years, the school of architecture has always adhered to the idea of running a school from an artistic point of view. No matter what unified standards there are for architecture majors, how can we respond to these standards strategically in order to achieve the same goal. Therefore, it has achieved gratifying results and won praise from the industry.

In recent years, the overall level of teaching and graduation creation in the Academy of Chinese Painting is good. The problems reflected in graduation creation are also obvious: for example, the works of students and tutors are too similar. Mr. Qi Baishi has long said that "those who learn from me live like me and die like me". This phenomenon can be forgiven in the era when the master took the apprentice, but it is worth our reflection in today's art education background. This is related to how to inherit the tradition, more importantly, what to inherit and how to inherit the tradition. This phenomenon exists not only in the Academy of Chinese Painting, but also in other departments, so we need to sit down and discuss it.

Generally speaking, works that pay attention to society and reality, as well as design works that serve the society, are still concerned. Paying attention to reality and serving the people has always been a fine tradition of the Academy of Fine Arts. For artistic creation, there should be an in-depth discussion with the theme of "paying attention to reality" to clarify the realistic problems of society and express true feelings, rather than superficial "concern" and "service". If there is no topic closely related to today's society, no artist's real inner experience, no matter whether his works are concrete, abstract, realistic, ideal, beautified or critical, his works are hard to infect and impress people, let alone serve the people.

Good art and design grow from the inside out from the depths of people's hearts, slowly approaching our real life, colliding with it and producing touching works. Today, we are facing a changing era and a complex world full of new challenges. I think, under such circumstances, education, as a kind of spiritual enlightenment, should start from everyone's heart.
