Features: Professor Jia You-fu of the Central Academy of Fine Arts has led teaching activities in the Landscape Painting Studio for many years. With his rich experience in both teaching and artistic creation, he has inherited and summarized the excellent teaching traditions of the department of the academy, establishing and gradually refining a new teaching philosophy for landscape painting that aligns with the developmental patterns of Chinese landscape painting and meets the demands of the times. Jia You-fu's landscape painting teaching philosophy has been proven to be scientific through practice. Over the years, numerous undergraduate, graduate, and advanced students, as well as learners from various sectors of society, have undergone rigorous training under this teaching system, achieving significant transformation and improvement in both their understanding and practical abilities. They have set lofty artistic goals and consciously devoted themselves to arduous self-cultivation. This time, to better summarize teaching experiences and achievements, we have compiled this collection of works in three series—copying, sketching, and creation—to introduce the specific content of Jia You-fu's landscape painting teaching system. It also includes works by teachers from Jia You-fu's studio, as well as a large number of outstanding works and papers that have emerged in recent years during the teaching process. These works collectively reflect the remarkable teaching outcomes of Jia You-fu's studio, with the hope of strengthening communication and exchange with a broad readership, improving teaching quality, and flourishing landscape painting creation.
