Affected by the epidemic, Chengdu Vocational University was postponed until mid -September. Although he could not return to school as scheduled, the teachers of Chengyi University carefully prepared a feast for the students.

In late August, the first expansion of the first year of Chengyi University Teacher Fine Arts (hereinafter referred to as the "Biennale") was launched. This exhibition brings together a variety of art forms such as Chinese painting, oil painting, printmaking, lacquer painting, watercolor, sculpture. Prior to the coming of the new semester, students "exchanged" with school teachers and painters through online watching. After the start of school in September, the offline exhibition will also be opened at Chengyi University Art Museum and last until December.

What are the highlights of the first Biennale? What is the role of the two -year exhibition for teachers and students? What kind of art education is the most suitable for students? What are the characteristics of art vocational education? With these questions, the principal came to the "Academic Host" of this year's biennale, Gan Tingjian, vice president of Chengdu Art University.

Art creation should be close to life and praise life

In this year's biennial exhibition, Gan Tingjian has two works. One of the "Gengzi Monthly Monthly 1" depicts the outbreak of the new crown epidemic in early 2020. Medical and volunteers in various places gathered the assembly screen to support Wuhan. In Gan Tingjian's artistic creation, the concept of humanities always covers it. "Since the choice of painting as a medium for expression, there must be a clear and sober understanding of the language, and on the basis of emphasizing the sense of painting. Intention. "In Gan Tingjian, artistic creation is to get close to life, record society, and praise life.

In Gan Tingjian's view, the painter is actually building his dream world with an imagination. "What you know about people, things, and things will always be interpreted in your ideal" dream "." The painter's duties should be selected, mining and sublimation.

"Life is the first. I think the artist should praise it with full enthusiasm." Gan Tingjian felt that art creators should convey their psychological state of the contemporary state through their works and the pursuit of macro cultural connotation. Through the internal and external harmony, simplicity, dignity, sincere, etc., the eternal humanity and emotional spiritual space is expressed.

Learning art should start with less interesting "utilitarian"

Looking back at my experience of learning painting, for Gan Tingjian, it is always because of interest. When he was young, Gan Tingjian was keen to record life with a brush. "Children learn painting, learn music, and master the corresponding skills to help them know how to appreciate good art works and improve their aesthetic ability." Gan Tingjian hopes that the current children can also learn art on the basis of love.

In recent years, the admissions examinations of major art colleges have exploded, and tens of millions of candidates with artistic dreams have embarked on the road of "dreaming." However, among them, there are some such people. They are holding speculation. The original intention of participating in the art test is not to love art and have artistic ideals, but because parents think that their children's cultural classes are not high. I want to save the country through the art test "curve to save the country ", The ideal university.

In this regard, Gan Tingjian believes that it is too utilitarian to choose the art of studying the college entrance examination. Once these children arrive at the university, they find that they do not love art, they will lose their interest in learning. "Therefore, art education should stay away from utilitarianity and return to the true road to Xiangshan." Gan Tingjian said.

Most exhibition works have won the International Award in the future.

According to Gan Tingjian, the school leaders attached great importance to this year's biennial exhibition. The working committee of the chairman Yu Kaiyuan and the principal Yu Tianxiang as the general guidance has been established to personally arrange various tasks. The school teachers have actively created and prepared for many years. Under the host of the Art Creation Committee, the exhibition is led by experts to gather a group of famous artists and professors in the country and province, leading young artists to actively participate in artistic practice and artistic creation.

This year's biennial exhibition also brings together famous works such as Liang Shimin, Wu Haicheng, Gong Renjun, Lin Yue, Yao Yehong, Lin Lecheng, and Gu Dazhi. Gan Tingjian said that as an important activity of art creation of art universities -art creation exhibitions, reflecting the creative status and creative results of this school teacher at this time. In the interpretation of art education and teaching, the cultivation of artistic career thinking and artistic living space and artistic thought, clarify the interrelationships of artistic creation and art extension in production, viewing and use. Special meaning. Some of the teachers' works were exhibited and awarded in the international and domestic exhibitions. They were collected by art museums and museums, which also fully reflected the creative level and professional status of Chengyi University. "In the future, it will also launch performances such as the biennial exhibition of teachers and students, art design works exhibitions, performance art exhibitions, and other performances. The strength and influence of an undergraduate university. "Gan Tingjian said.

The focus of art vocational education is to teach the spirit of craftsmanship

"The key to art vocational education is to teach the superb skills of art creation of students, and achieve better development with a skill." Gan Tingjian believes that art vocational education needs to cultivate students' craftsmanship. The spirit of occupational ability and occupational literacy, including the professional value identity of the practitioners, professional behavior orientation, and professional practice performance.

Chengyi University is led by the master of art in art creation, led by well -known professors, and proposed the work ideas of creating preparation, creating with research, and promoting learning. The school set up an artistic creation committee to guide the guidance of art creation, and use the best creative status, the best artistic works for domestic and foreign art activities. The establishment of multiple "master studios" not only provides good platforms for art masters to create excellent works, but also the incubation base for masters to guide young artists to grow.

After nearly 20 years of development, Chengyi University has developed into a large -scale art college in Sichuan and even the southwestern region, and has cultivated more than tens of thousands of artistic skills for the society. The cradle of applied designers in the western region.
