From an art student to a painter and a teacher, he believes that art is not only a creative experience and knowledge education, but also a inheritance and transmission of artistic emotions and artistic beliefs, and the source of his artistic feelings and artistic beliefs all started from Guangzhou Arts and Crafts Vocational School (hereinafter referred to as "Art Vocational School", the predecessor of Guangzhou Meizhong).
It has been almost 40 years since Huang Shaohua graduated, and he still remembers his academic career in that year. In his memories, under the sunset of the campus, everything was stained with golden light, appearing like a dream, as if there was no difference from the style of that year, and he seemed to be the teenager who only knew how to paint.
After graduation, he went to the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts to study, and then became a teacher of the Academy of Fine Arts, and the original feeling of being proud of the art profession gradually became deep and broad, integrated into every painting and every class, deeply affecting his artistic creation and teaching work. For him, this artistic emotion is an inexhaustible driving force that supports him to move forward on the road of art.

Class of 1993 Alumnus Du Wenlan: The art career made my middle school time shine

In the art profession, Du Wenlan met many master-level professional teachers, which made her fly higher and higher on the road of pursuing beauty. "These three years in the art profession have made my middle school time shine brightly, and I remember very clearly that when I went out to collect wind, we went to Xiangxi Phoenix, although the accommodation conditions were not satisfactory, there were many fleas, and I couldn't sleep after being harassed by mosquitoes all night, but now I recall the life of caifeng that month, and I feel so sweet."
As a cartoonist, Du Wenlan continued his studies after graduating from university, worked as a teacher, worked in a publishing house, and now returned to colleges and universities to become a teacher at the College of Arts of South China Agricultural University.

Class of 2000 Alumnus Tang Yao: A higher education than teaching the art of beauty is to shape the mind of beauty
Returning to her alma mater ten years after graduating from Guangzhou Arts and Crafts Vocational School, Tang Yao's identity has changed, from a student to a teacher here, returning to her alma mater to teach, and more is her attachment to her alma mater. "Walking into the classroom of that year, I went from the front of the podium to the back of the podium, only to find that I always thought that some corners were blind spots for the teacher's vision, and I could do whatever I wanted, but I didn't expect to stand behind the podium today, every corner could be seen clearly... Those knowledge, those views, I have changed from a listener to today's narrator and inheritor. ”
When she was a student, Tang Yao was grateful to every teacher she met in the art profession, "Teacher Zhang Qing is my initiation teacher of painting, she not only teaches painting skills, but also popularizes art history for us in each class and recommends us classic books. When we were surprised to find the illustrations drawn by Mr. Zhang in the popular "Hope" magazine at that time, not to mention how proud we were, at that moment we quietly planted the ideal seed of becoming an artist. ”
As a teacher at Guangzhou Meizhong, Tang Believes that he is more in the inheritance of the teaching philosophy and style of the teachers. "Usually, I am more accustomed to picking up errors or deficiencies in students' paintings in class. But whenever she recalls her student days, Ms. Chen Mi can always praise every student's paintings and every shining point from the bottom of her heart, as if the whole world is beautiful in her heart, so that we can always immerse ourselves in it with enthusiasm. The teachers are my 'mirrors', always making me reflect, illuminating me, spurring me, and letting me understand that a higher education than teaching beauty skills is to shape the beautiful heart and beautiful character. ”

I am very grateful that these three years in Guangzhou Meizhong have given me enough time to explore and precipitate, so that I can slowly have my own unique style of expressive art. ”
Xiao Shilin has her own design studio in Beijing, and many of the jewelry she designs are deeply loved by young people, "Design needs a lot of content to carry, in Guangzhou Meizhong, we attach great importance to the study of cultural classes, only by filling ourselves can we have the inspiration to do artistic creation." ”
