Features: In painting education, sketching has always been regarded as an important course that complements long-term sketch training. It aims to cultivate students' agile, concise observation, depiction of objective objects, and enhance their expressive ability and memory. Due to its importance and irreplaceability, many art colleges today consistently include it as one of the subjects tested for students' "basic skills." Although the examination content varies across institutions, it is generally conducted after the completion of basic skills tests. The duration may vary, with some tests involving live drawing from models, others involving mutual drawing within the examination hall, and some requiring students to draw based on given prompts (such as laundry, running, or playing ball). The examination formats mainly include static figure sketches lasting around 30 minutes, dynamic sketches lasting about 10 minutes, as well as figure combinations or figure-scene combinations.
