The girls were wearing leather jackets and jeans, and the boys were wearing down jackets and sweatpants.
With only 40 minutes for the sketch, Wu An started painting quickly.
The characters of the two men were quickly sketched out, and then the details were added.
There was also time for painting and filling in some shadows. It took a full 40 minutes, and then I handed in the paper and left.
I looked at the interfaces of the candidates around me. Everyone had completed simple sketches. In comparison, the painting information on Wu An's paper was much more complete.
Some people also noticed Wu An's answer sheet and couldn't help but show surprise and envy.
After the comparison, Wu An realized his own level and felt relieved.
After leaving the examination room, he had a meal and then simply found a place to close his eyes and rest at noon. At 2:30 in the afternoon, the biggest challenge for Wu An - the color test of the art exam was about to begin.
Title: Still life combination, combine the contents of black and white pictures, add backing cloth by yourself, and use color expression to simulate sketching.
Provided images: a bottle of beer, a rattan basket, this variety of fruits, and a vase with flowers.
The colors must be bright and harmonious, and have a certain level of artistic expression.
This was the type of test question that Wu An had practiced many times, but he was still a little nervous, and his mind went blank for a short period of time.
"Huh..." He took a deep breath and began to adjust the colors.
When facing something he is not confident about, Wu An tends to become confused.
When he was thinking about the problem, countless combinations of objects and colors popped up in his mind, but he couldn't find a firm direction.
Suddenly, as he opened the gouache paint palette, a small blue shark card came into view.
That must have been left by Li Yuhua.
Turn to the back of the card and there is a blessing:
"No matter what the result is, I'm happy. Come on!"
Wu An: “…”
A warmth flows through my body.
The confusion in my mind disappeared.
"This young lady really knows how to control people's minds." He murmured and smiled.
Suddenly I found the direction of painting.
Well, let’s get started!
#66 I will work harder for you
The color test lasted for three hours, and Wu An carefully and conscientiously painted the still life combination on the gouache paper.
On the linen-lined table, four different fruits were placed in a rattan basket, a vase with fresh flowers was placed in the back, and beer bottles were placed next to them as a transition.
Bright warm colors were chosen to make the picture look gorgeous.
Then carefully fill in the details.
This painting took three hours to complete.
Unlike the previous two exams, Wu An did not feel proud when looking at the works of the candidates around him.
Because he felt that everyone drew better than him - although it might be a psychological effect.
The time to hand in the paper has come, and Wu An feels that there are still many details that need to be filled in, but time cannot wait for him.
After handing in the paper with some regret, Wu An was silent for a while before starting to pack up his things.
The exam was over and the exam room management became lax. Li Yuhua, who had packed her things in front, came to Wu An carrying her painting supplies bag.
"How is it?" She smiled with concern.
"Not bad." Wu An said as he packed up his painting supplies.
"If it's OK, then it's good." Li Yuhua jumped happily: "If it's not OK, then that's a problem!"
"..." Wu An actually thought what she said made a lot of sense. After a long while, he turned around and looked at her and said, "You really are... good at comforting people."
"How about this?" Li Yuhua hummed, then suddenly reached out and touched Wu An's head, rubbing it: "How about this, does it feel more comfortable?"
Wu An: “?”
It feels like being petted like a cat.
Get out of the way quickly.
"You make me feel weird."
Just as he finished speaking, he felt a hand touching his head.
Then I heard Chen Anna's voice behind me: "Little brother, did you not do well in the exam? You want to touch me!"
Wu An turned back suddenly: "..."
Chen Anna looked like she was secretly delighted.
The cheating was successful.
The corners of Wu An's mouth twitched, and then he rubbed his temple, looking like he had a headache.
"It's not like I didn't do well in the exam. It's OK. There's no problem with it!"
"Then it seems that there is no problem."
"Yeah, no problem!"
"..."
Later, after packing up his things and walking out of the examination room, Wu An realized that he had been comforted by these two women.
I was a little worried about my grades, but after they touched my head, I wasn't so worried anymore.
The three of them talked about the exam questions, talked about their own thoughts when drawing in the exam room, and then complained about the paintings of the candidates around them.
For example, the arrangement and combination of still life is very strange, and the colors are a bit gloomy.
Wu An didn't dare to comment because he felt that his paintings were also strange.
In short, after the unified examination, you should go home to study and then wait for the results.
The results of the joint entrance examination will not be announced until two weeks later.
During this period, the entrance examination dates of several famous art schools in China were also announced.
The Central University of Fine Arts is January 1th.
The Academy of Fine Arts of Peking University and Tsinghua University is January 1th.
The National Academy of Fine Arts is January 1th.
Xichuan Academy of Fine Arts is January 1th.
Seeing these dates, Wu An took a breath.
A worse situation occurred.
In the school entrance examinations of the four universities that Li Yuhua was targeting, Wu An actually took the exams on her behalf for three days.
He was going to take the entrance exams for the Central University of Fine Arts, the National Academy of Fine Arts and the Xichuan Academy of Fine Arts on behalf of Li Yuhua.
When Wu An first started to look up the exam times for the Central University of Fine Arts, he felt a huge amount of pressure.
When he found out the time for the entrance exam for the Academy of Fine Arts of Peking University and Tsinghua University, he breathed a sigh of relief - because on that day, he was himself, not Li Yuhua.
Later, when I learned the examination times for the National Academy of Fine Arts and the Xichuan Academy of Fine Arts, it was as if two more huge mountains were pressing down on my head, and I felt terrible.
In comparison, Wu An and Li Yuhua are much more optimistic.
"It's okay. Wu An, you're so talented, there will definitely be no problem. Besides, even if it's me, I may not be able to pass the exam. It's okay!"
Having said that, Wu An was still very worried.
She always seemed so optimistic, who knew if he really wasn't worried?
Moreover, we cannot relax just because of Li Yuhua's comfort.
You still have to work hard to improve yourself.
——Wu An has realized the gap and feels more urgent.
So much so that in the following month, Wu An was really possessed.
He made a request to Peng Yulin, saying that during normal class hours, if the last two classes in the afternoon were self-study classes, he would go directly to the studio to practice painting after class.
I have to go to the intensive tutoring class at school on Saturday daytime and go to the art studio to practice painting.
Peng Yulin was worried that Wu An would fall behind in his academic studies, so he refused at first.
But Wu An promised that even if he fell behind in his studies, he would work hard to catch up after the school exam and the college entrance examination.
Peng Yulin had no way to deal with Wu An, so he sighed, but finally agreed.
With Peng Yulin's consent, Wu An let himself go.
As a result, for a period of time afterwards, Wu An seemed to be a mysterious figure in the school.
Before the get out of class was over, the person disappeared.
And during the breaks between classes, no one could be found.
At that time, Wu An would go and discuss the topic with Wei Yuanyuan and Tang Xiyue - in the small room arranged for them by the school.
In the eyes of Wei Yuanyuan and Tang Xiyue, Wu An is relatively normal in school.
But in Wang Jiarong's view, Wu An seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
I usually want to find him to chat with me, but I can't even find him.
——Before, Wu An did not discuss issues with Wei Yuanyuan and Tang Xiyue during breaks every day.
Sometimes during breaks he would lie on the railings with Wang Jiarong to enjoy the fresh air, chat about campus gossip, and tease him about his recent art studies.
Even though Wu An seemed a bit gay at that time, he was still the same guy after all.
Recently, I haven’t even had the chance to lie on the railing and enjoy the fresh air.
