How did you get admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts?

Be strong! Have a strong heart, endurance and perseverance! You will encounter difficulties in anything you do, so take admission to the Central Academy of Fine Arts as your goal. If you are not strong enough and cannot persevere when encountering a slight setback, it will definitely not work.

Jack Ma has a saying: "Today is cruel, tomorrow will be even crueler, and the day after tomorrow will be wonderful! But many people will die before tomorrow night and will not see the sun the day after tomorrow." What he said is very true.

If you can endure loneliness and temporary frustration, you are the winner.

My senior class teacher was a short-sighted and self-righteous middle-aged woman (forgive me for speaking young and wildly). I still remember the day before I went to art training. In the office, she spoke in front of all the students in her grade. The teacher said, "Your dreams don't reflect reality."

Although they all laughed at me for being young, frivolous, self-proclaimed, and studying art just to avoid the college entrance examination, I was still happy inside. , It’s not that I am thick-skinned, because to be honest, I hate boring cultural classes and the numbness of worrying about scores. I took the college entrance examination just to get into CAFA and be able to paint all my life.

For me, it is a very happy thing. This feeling is strong and sincere, just like if you fall madly in love with someone, even if the whole world opposes it, you will still have no hesitation. Explain to others.

The life of training in the studio is more difficult than I thought. At that time, I really realized the saying "learning art is more difficult than cultural classes."

What I liked at the beginning was tortured to the point of numbness. It was more of a mechanical movement than painting. The bad habits of painting, the deviation of understanding, the backward modeling ability, and more seriously, the love and confidence in art have always been criticized by teachers again and again, which made me develop a rebellious mentality. Although I am pretentious, the picture shows What comes out is garbage-like effect.

I knew that I really wanted to be admitted to college, so I tried to draw hard, but I couldn't settle down because I was used to being lazy. At that time, I was a day student and did not live in the studio. I always used excuses such as "cold weather" and "feeling unwell" to avoid going to the studio. I started skipping classes and became addicted to animation and movies.

No surprise, my dream of Central America was shattered

Yes, I failed...

There were no tears, although my heart ached very much It hurts, because this result was already expected. That was also the first time I summarized my previous life.

Here, I would like to borrow an art teacher’s comment to give a general description of the first-year exam:

You know how to have the world in mind, but you can’t work hard, and you are extremely determined but difficult. The temptation to escape reality is that you can see the mountains in the distance but cannot see the road under your feet.

Sometimes stubbornness is called persistence, sometimes self-satisfaction is regarded as self-confidence, and sometimes self-esteem is the omnipotent God who can save others and the world. In the end, he becomes the Bodhisattva who can't save himself.

Sometimes he is a "pseudo master" who doesn't care about his real weaknesses, and sometimes he is a pure poor person who is complacent about wasting opportunities. "I believe there are a few art candidates like me.

In the second year, I chose to repeat the exam.

With the reflection in the first year, I seemed particularly good in the second year. Be cautious.

In fact, a large part of the reason for my failure in the first year was that I chose the wrong studio. So in the second year, I carefully screened the more well-known studios in Beijing and visited each studio in person. , and finally chose the Chinese stage name with the strictest management, because I was very aware of my bad habits and needed external pressure to restrain me.

At that time, I was really calm about the re-study, and I did not participate in the second semester. One year of college entrance examination, I was completely separated from my high school. As for the cynicism and insults made by my class teacher and other classmates who took cultural courses, although I was indifferent on the surface, I was actually holding my breath.

7 I went to Hua Yiming's fully closed training in March. There was no time to be timid or confused, and my senior year of high school just started.

I didn't even believe that that person was me, but she was. Thinking about it, it's not impossible, yes, of course it's me, I'm never afraid of failure.

It is said that people will become mature and grow very quickly after repeated studies.

For me, failing in my senior year of high school was the beginning of my growth and maturity.

Sometimes it’s really strange, the more you want to get rid of some things, the more you want to get rid of them. The more I can't get rid of it, the more I can do it inadvertently. I tried hard many times in my senior year of high school but couldn't settle down to draw steadily. However, in my senior year of high school, everything turned around naturally and I was no longer as lazy and degenerate as before. Almost every day, I am the first to arrive at the studio and the last to return to the dormitory. Life has become very busy, but orderly.

Having the courage to think allows me to get twice the result with half the effort.

I am no longer blindly mechanical. Painting is more about being good at observation and memory, and being good at paying attention to every detail in life, because they are the source of scene sketch creation.

I no longer draw blindly, mechanically. Be good at observation and memory, and be good at paying attention to every detail in life, because they are the source of scene sketch creation.

I started to use my mobile phone to accumulate daily materials. People without memory have no way to start when painting. Only by storing a large number of pictures in the brain and letting you choose when creating can you have a clue when painting. , there will be no rush.

The most important thing is that I have the courage to think and question the teacher’s words.

In the past, I trusted the teacher too much and had to obey every request, which made me quite passive and even numb in my studies. Later, a senior who was admitted to the U.S. Academy of Fine Arts told me, "There are more beauty-blind people than illiterate people in the world." You don't have to listen to everything the art teacher says.

Sometimes right and wrong are relative, especially those who study art can understand this better. For example: In the studio before, this teacher asked me to paint the dark parts with black dots to make the contrast stronger; The teacher came and asked me to make the dark parts brighter and more breathable; the teacher taught me to rub them with my hands to make them look thicker; and the teacher later told me not to rub them with my hands and asked me to draw with lines and so on.

Who do you listen to? I can only listen to no one!

What they talk about is superficial and not the essence. I thought and thought, what is the essence of basic sketch? It is nothing more than structure, volume, space, reality and reality, etc. As long as you draw around these points, you will be right.

Having the courage to think allows me to get twice the result with half the effort. Thinking is very important. You have to use your brain all the time. No matter how far you draw, no matter where you are, you have to constantly analyze and summarize.

I was actually very happy during my repeat year. My family never put any pressure on me; and my friends always encouraged me and occasionally came to see me. Their care and support make me feel happy and energetic.

I sum up my senior year of high school as "keeping the clouds clear and seeing the moonlight".

Everything was fixed at the moment when I held the notice in hand. I cried so hard that it turned out that I would cry even if I was so happy.

Now I am a sophomore student at Central Academy of Fine Arts. Many of the good habits and qualities I left behind when re-taking the Art Examination have continued to influence my study and life at the Academy of Fine Arts

< p>Dear classmates, I have been practicing at CAFA until my sophomore year

When I get to university, everything is different

Finally, I want to tell my juniors:

The most terrifying enemy is the lack of strong faith.
