Why do college art students go out to sketch?

The following are the relevant time review materials:

Abstract: There are many problems in current art teaching. Students despise extracurricular sketching, have poor hands-on ability, and rely too much on camera sketching, resulting in poor innovation ability and low creative level. At all times and in all countries, countless artists of ancestors used a warm heart and hard-working hands to feel life, abandoned 3,000 paintings and improved their artistic level in high-intensity sketching. There are many famous sayings in China's traditional painting theory, such as "Nature is made by foreign teachers, and the heart comes from China", "Nature is not as good as learning from the ancients" and "diligence can make up for the shortcomings", which fully emphasizes the importance of extracurricular sketching, and sketching is an important way to improve the level of painting creation. Under the background of the rapid development of digital technology, we must clearly reflect on the importance of extracurricular sketching, correct the attitude of extracurricular sketching and cultivate good habits of extracurricular sketching.

Sketch is an indispensable means in artistic creation. Nature itself is rich and colorful, and sketch is one of the main training methods for learning painting, and it is also an extremely important link in the process of painting creation. Through sketching, you can get first-hand creative materials, which are true and natural. In sketching, we can combine learning and living, absorbing tradition and brewing creation. A series of activities between subject and object, such as going into nature, experiencing life and expressing emotions, can all be realized in sketch. Only by accumulating rich sketching experience, truly describing one's feelings and thoughts, and expressing one's understanding, feelings and knowledge of nature can one improve one's artistic accomplishment and aesthetic ability. It is often said that art is a portrait of the soul, and only sincerity can touch people's hearts. Therefore, extracurricular sketching is very important.

Meaning.

First, the drawbacks of art teaching

There are some problems in art teaching, such as neglecting extracurricular sketching, students' dependence and poor hands-on ability.

In the current art teaching, sketch is a compulsory course in art teaching.

However, the sketch class has not been taken seriously by the administrative leaders, and the sketch class is pitiful. The so-called outing sketch class is also a mere formality, almost becoming a tour, and the teacher takes the students out to write.

Students, most of whom will take cameras, are unwilling to sketch directly against the landscape and take some photos when they travel. Students generally despise sketching class, and many students are not correct, not serious and have no spirit of studying hard.

When students are creating, they start to make cars behind closed doors in front of photos, patchwork and scribble, which has no theme, is not touching and has no fun, and can't stimulate the passion of painting. Coupled with the poor basic skills of painting, the works are even more boring and empty, showing the shortcomings of formulation, conceptualization and rigidity.

Second, the importance of extracurricular sketching

1. Extracurricular sketching is an important way to improve the level of painting creation.

(1) Extracurricular sketching has cultivated our observation of life.

Rodin, a French art master, said in his will: "The so-called master is a person who looks at what others have seen with his own eyes and finds beauty in what others are used to."

In extracurricular sketching, students should be good at cultivating the sensitivity of discovering natural beauty.

The treasure of beauty lurking in nature is discovered through our eyes, and the beauty in nature is expressed through our hands. Facing the natural characters and scenery in extracurricular sketching, the required purpose is not only to simply reproduce nature, but to re-recognize and discover the observed scenery or objects. Carefully observe the object to be described and be good at finding touching details from real life. On the one hand, it improves the ability to describe the details of sketches, making the works more in-depth and complete, on the other hand, it cultivates our ability to discover the beauty in life. The colors, light and shade, composition and other details in nature will enrich our observation of nature, which will be the direct source and nutrition in artistic creation over time. Gu Kaizhi, a famous painter in ancient China, once said that "it is better to move with meaning", which vividly illustrates the role of art in drawing nutrition from life. Walk more, see more, think more, spend a lifetime studying, enrich your knowledge and improve your personal taste, so as to enter a good creative environment.

(2) Extracurricular sketching is an effective way to cultivate students' creative passion and improve their painting skills and creative level.

Extracurricular sketching is the most important training subject in art teaching. In the process of extracurricular sketching, we can organically combine three links: learning life, understanding artistic laws and inspiring creative inspiration. In addition to cultivating students' observation of life, it can also enable students to have a higher painting foundation and the ability to control and process pictures.

In the practice of art education and teaching, we often encounter such problems. Many students have something they want to express in their hearts, but they can't draw what they want to express because of lack of adequate artistic accomplishment and techniques. A large part of the reason here is that there is not enough practice of painting techniques in various sketch classes. On the contrary, many students who can quickly master certain painting skills and picture processing ability in the extracurricular sketch learning stage are handy in the artistic creation stage and can easily put their ideas into the picture. This is the training of sketch class, which provides them with a solid foundation of painting technology. Art major is different from other majors. General rules can be obtained from books and classes, but specific picture operation skills can only be obtained through personal understanding and a lot of sketching exercises.

(3) Only by going deep into nature can we stimulate students' strong desire for artistic creation.

enthusiasm

Nature is colorful, gorgeous and charming, giving us the most direct and rich color feeling and the most natural and authentic aesthetic feeling. This kind of feeling and passion can't be obtained simply by staying in the studio. This is an aesthetic experience with personal sincere feelings and strong local flavor. At the same time, the biggest difference between extracurricular sketching and indoor sketching is that going out to sketch can give the painter a fresh and exciting feeling, and painting is full of passion.

In the process of sketching after class, we have the opportunity to see more natural scenery.

Into the embrace of nature. For us who live in the city, when facing the natural beauty, we will strongly feel that the connection between art and life is so close, the choice of artistic creation is so rich, and the enthusiasm for artistic creation is so high!

We often say "feel with feelings", which shows the great role of subjective feelings in artistic expression. Carefully observe the inner beauty of the scenery, feel the beautiful attributes of all things in nature from the deep heart, often sketch in nature, enrich your inner world and improve your cognitive and perceptual abilities.

2. The relationship between sketch and creation

For the relationship between "sketching and creation", some people have such a misunderstanding that sketching is only a way to train basic skills or collect materials, while ignoring the important aspect that "sketching is also creation". In fact, when it comes to western painting, the object is creation, and sometimes it also refers to creation. People often recognize the works that are carefully enlarged and refined through photos or sketches, but ignore the works created through sketches. In extracurricular sketching, we should not only have a keen sense of objective phenomena and natural scenery, but also turn our unique personal feelings into pictures. The artist's personal style of painting is neither imaginary nor subjective, but accumulated bit by bit in a large number of long-term paintings. Among them, extracurricular sketching makes the combination of technology and thought provide more possibilities for the spirit and thought of creation. Give full play to the characteristics of sketch style with an open attitude and expanded thinking, and promote the formation of individualization and stylization of sketch works. Therefore, extracurricular sketching has become an important way for painters to express their personality and emotions. Sketch is a creative expression of reality, and its image contains rich imagination.

Strength and creativity, beautiful visual effect. Sketch is not the same as creation, but the concentrated expression of some of the most common laws and rules needed in creation, and it is the standardization of artistic language refined by artists of past dynasties in their long-term artistic practice. At the same time, sketching and creation are two progressive processes, which are closely linked. Sketching and creating scenes are also the development of "learning from nature".

3. Inherit the sketch spirit of China masters who paid attention to going deep into nature.

Going deep into nature to sketch is an easy thing on the surface, but it is a very difficult and even life-threatening activity in real life. We can think about it, like Yi Yuanji, a painter in the Song Dynasty, who risked his life to live and inspect in the deep mountains and forests in order to paint a living ape. This kind of professionalism is worth learning. Contemporary painters such as Li Keran, Huang Zhou and Liu Wenxi all use sketches to draw. Their love for life, persistence and diligence in art are all examples worthy of our study.

Third, correct the attitude of extracurricular sketching and cultivate good habits of extracurricular sketching.

Nature has given us such beautiful scenery that it is worth reading with our lives.

Refining artistic conception and theme in sketching, therefore, we should correct the attitude of extracurricular sketching and cultivate good habits of extracurricular sketching. Looking back at history, many artists have laid the foundation for their success by sketching works, because artists know that sketching is a shortcut to the road of art-painters go to nature to "learn from nature", cultivate painters' good visual experience and elegant aesthetic ability, and at the same time exercise painters' ability to know, observe, summarize and express nature. Cultivate observation and perception of natural scenery and environment. Therefore, a clear understanding of the importance of extracurricular sketching will help us to further organically combine sketching with artistic creation, especially in today's social environment, and we should correctly understand and grasp this relationship.

As a painter, we must always sketch from nature, have a cordial dialogue with nature, and constantly improve our ability to control the picture to make it perfect. Cultivate good habits of extracurricular sketching: on the one hand, cultivate the observation ability of sketching, on the other hand, accumulate experience, concepts and artistic accomplishment of sketching. In the face of natural sketching, we should pay attention to the experience and expression of nature, and pay attention to the depth expressed in simple and refined artistic language. The organic combination of subject and object is not only the understanding and summary of painting, but also the most accurate definition of extracurricular sketching. Going deep into life and nature and correcting the attitude towards extracurricular sketching is a bridge between artists and life, which can make artists feel life more directly and deeply and tap the deep connotation of life, and is also the basic way to realize painting reform.
