Features: This series is edited and published specifically for students undergoing basic art training and candidates preparing for the college entrance examination in art. It provides foundational art guidance and technical review. We have selected common props frequently appearing in exam questions and fundamental art training techniques, employing special teaching principles and methods to intensify training, enabling students to achieve object shaping and expressive abilities within a short period. Through analyzing and researching past art college entrance examination scenarios, we have summarized a truth: only by laying a solid foundation can one truly benefit. However, many beginners or candidates with some basic art theory often overlook the instructional value of books when choosing practice or foundational reference materials, focusing instead on appreciating the artworks. This results in ineffective learning methods. In recent years, art college entrance examination questions have predominantly been recall-based, with a broader scope of topics. Therefore, we still emphasize the importance of learning methods. Conducting intensive training in stages and steps, and systematically organizing and reviewing the knowledge learned, are crucial. We edited and published this series to enable beginners to practice through progressive means—starting from simple to complex, from single still-life objects to combined still-life arrangements. Detailed analysis, dissection, and comprehension of the fundamental principles of sketching and color teaching are provided. By selecting typical structural forms for shaping, students can fully grasp the essential elements of basic modeling. To enable students to master foundational theories and painting skills within a short period and lay a solid foundation for further in-depth shaping.
