Chapter 27 Plaster model usage

The first chapter is the plaster model, which is the best model for those who learn to draw, and it is a special practice of drawing, and each takes ancient works and their replicas as models.However, this method is also used in the practice of general education pictures recently.The models are mainly models made of plaster. General education has a drawing subject, not only to practice skills, but also to practice eyesight.This is generally accepted by educators today.Because of the objects seen by the eye, it is necessary to perceive its correct shape.This kind of perception ability is indispensable for ordinary people.However, it is extremely difficult to develop this ability by still using the method of painting.Therefore, in recent years, the general education in European and American countries has taken the sketching of real objects as the main course of painting, and various restrictions have been imposed on those who use and learn temporary painting.Because of the teaching method of painting, it is easy to use small hand skills to teach a certain description method. However, it can reduce the originality of beginners, create a bad habit of relying on fixed formulas, and it is of no benefit to the practice of eyesight.Therefore, those who study painting should firmly believe that sketching from life is the first good method.

It is beneficial to take the simple utensils used in daily life as models for the sketching of real objects.However, for beginners to practice drawing lines, objects composed of simple straight lines and curves are suitable.Also practice shadows, preferably pure white objects.The plaster model, imitating the shape of the real thing, is composed of beautiful straight lines and curves. Its color is pure white, and there is no risk of color confusion in the shadows. The degree of yin and yang is easy to distinguish.Those who study drawing should firmly believe that the plaster model is the first complete model for sketching from life.

There are two types of plaster models: 1. Replicas of masterpieces that imitate ancient and modern sculptures. 2. The author's creation imitating the real thing. For sketching practice, the first one is suitable.Because of using the name of art as a model, one can understand the pure state of line shape and bone phase, and can develop aesthetic knowledge. Chapter II Collection Method Plaster models are very fragile and are the easiest to break, and the models used for pictures are suitable for pure white models, so they must be stored carefully to avoid dust and soot.Other stains and markings are also not allowed.Plaster models should be stored in the herbarium and not displayed in the drawing lecture hall.Because students often see this kind of specimens, they will have no novel feelings after a long time, so another collection room must be set up, and they will be moved into the lecture hall when they are ready for painting.

Chapter 3 Selection of classrooms and indoor equipment The classrooms for sketching must be high and wide, with glass windows facing north.If it is used as an ordinary classroom, the light should be taken from one side.If light from two or three sides is mixed in, the shadow of the model will be disordered, which is very difficult for beginners.The original picture on page 128 is placed on page 132 to replace the rubbings of the original Tuhan Ganlin tile inkstone The indoor equipment should be determined according to the shape of the room, there is no fixed formula, the model is either near the wall or in the center of the room.If it is close to the wall, it is better to use a thick color on the wall, otherwise, you can also hang a curtain as the background of the model, so that students can clearly observe the outer line of the object.The height of the model table should be at the same level as the line of sight of most students (student seats are low in the front row, high in the back row, and the last row is always upright, so the height of the line of sight cannot be unified).

Chapter 4 Materials for Drawings There are no specific restrictions on general school drawing paper, but it is better to choose the paper with strong quality and not very smooth surface.Materials for description include pencil, charcoal and black chalk.But among them, charcoal is the most suitable.Therefore, all ordinary schools in the West use charcoal exclusively.Ordinary schools in Japan used to use pencils exclusively, but recently they also use charcoal.This article was written in the Zhejiang First Division in Hangzhou in the spring of 1913.
