"We really did it! The whole process is so meaningful!" At the School of Business and Management of Jilin University, Liu Jiabang, a 2021 undergraduate student, proudly displayed the artwork he and his friends completed together, "This "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" was copied by more than 40 of our students according to the ratio of 1:1!"
"I have seen two news stories in Guangming Daily, one is called "These Middle School Students Copy the 'Qingming Riverside Map'", and the other is called "A "Painting and Dialogue" Through Time and Space", which tells the story of the students of Changchun No. 150 Middle School copying the "Qingming Riverside Picture" and completing the relief mural "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", which is my alma mater!" Liu Jiabang sighed.
"After reading the news, I am proud and inspired by my younger students. I think we should be able to do the same!" After Liu Jiabang shared his ideas with his teachers and classmates, he was immediately approved by everyone.
Liu Tianmu, secretary of the Youth League Committee of the School of Business and Management of Jilin University, praised Liu Jiabang's idea, "Our motherland is prosperous, and the "Qingming Riverside Map" depicts the prosperous scene of Bianjing during the Northern Song Dynasty. We want to take students to experience the charm of traditional culture in an up-close experience. ”
As soon as the spring semester of 2024 begins, the School of Business and Management of Jilin University issued a notice, and students are eager to sign up. Since most of them have no foundation in painting, the college also specially invited 5 students from the School of Art of Jilin University to conduct unified training and provide help and guidance. Chen Zhengkang, a 2021 undergraduate student at the School of Arts of Jilin University, is one of them.
Chen Zhengkang said: "Everyone wants to use a brush to reproduce the style of this famous painting on silk cloth, but for students who have no foundation in painting, it is a test of skill and patience." The students practiced for a week or two before they dared to start drawing. ”
Everything is difficult at the beginning! The students all felt that this was a "big project" and were very afraid of it. "Thanks to the encouragement of each other and the mutual help of peers, we not only exchanged painting experiences, but also had an interdisciplinary collision of ideas. Liu Jiabang said that with the initial appearance of the painting, everyone became more and more energetic.
After the initial completion of the work, the students also wanted to color the work. "Due to the rich colors of "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", it is difficult to mix and color, and non-professional students do not have a good control of color, which can easily make the overall appearance of the painting abrupt. Chen Zhengkang said that although the students made many mistakes, they united as one, did not complain at all, and skillfully resolved the problem by washing colors. In order to keep their works improving, many students also choose to stay in school during holidays and insist on improving their paintings.
"Nothing is invincible. This copying is an unforgettable memory of our university life!" After two months, looking at the work completed together, Liu Jiabang and Chen Zhengkang sighed.
This is a vivid ideological and political class and theme group class, the students really feel the charm of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, but also carry forward the spirit of Chinese aesthetic education, and experience the spiritual connotation that is more important than the completion of the work itself. Liu Tianmu said that in the future, the college will continue to leave the stage of campus culture to students, so that they can grow and become talents in an immersive experience.
