Features: "Xiaodong Art Studio" has gained fame for several reasons. First, it has a clear teaching philosophy. The so-called philosophy, in layman's terms, is to have "ideas." The "ideas" of "Xiaodong Art Studio" are to teach art in an artistic way, believing that explaining art is far more important than merely imparting so-called techniques. Therefore, the studio's teaching emphasizes openness, experimentation, and choice. As Liu Xiaodong puts it, just because students enter the studio, they shouldn't be turned into "idiots" who only know how to draw a few strokes. Second, "Xiaodong Art Studio" has a set of effective teaching methods:
1. The "Text and Picture Combined Method."
2. The "Point-to-Area Method."
3. The "Quantity to Quality Transformation Method."
4. The "Two-Legged Walking Method."
With a clear teaching philosophy and effective methods, "Xiaodong Art Studio" has achieved remarkable teaching results. Over the past nearly three decades, statistics show that more than 120 students have been admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts and the China Academy of Art, though the figures are not complete. In 2002, five students from "Xiaodong Art Studio" even won top spots in the China Academy of Art's professional exams, which is truly remarkable! It can be said that the direct beneficiaries of "Xiaodong Art Studio's" success are the countless students who have graduated from here.
