Features: To facilitate the social art level examination work mandated by the Ministry of Culture, and to provide candidates with convenient options for preparing for different levels and advancing their professional studies, this series of books has been specifically compiled according to the detailed regulations of the fine art and calligraphy examination syllabus. This series covers eleven professional categories within the scope of the examination syllabus: Chinese freehand flower-and-bird painting, Chinese meticulous flower-and-bird painting, Chinese freehand landscape painting, Chinese freehand figure painting, sketching, figure quick sketch, watercolor painting, tempera painting, oil painting, and Chinese calligraphy, as well as hard-tip calligraphy, among others. Each category is divided into two books: one for the examination syllabus illustrations and the other for corresponding professional techniques. Most of the compilation work for this series was carried out by senior examiners appointed and approved by the Ministry of Culture, who are highly influential experts in their respective fields both domestically and internationally. The illustrations were primarily drawn by these experts and later reviewed and approved by the examination center's evaluation committee. The illustration book for each level lists multiple works, allowing candidates to understand the scope of examination pieces and the specific requirements of the syllabus. The technique book serves as a supplementary teaching material for the illustration book, featuring typical works for each level with detailed step-by-step illustrations of painting techniques. Some books also include photographs of live subjects, demonstrations of painting postures, and examples of art supplies, accompanied by detailed explanations for each step, aiming to provide strong guidance for candidates in all professional fields. As a foundational project, the social art level examination is a supporting initiative for the Ministry of Culture's triennial "Starlight Award" evaluation program. Therefore, the assessment of artistic proficiency and basic standards for each category requires Level 8 to meet the entrance requirements for fine art programs in national universities, Level 9 to qualify for provincial/urban selections in the "Starlight Award" exhibition, and Level 10 to achieve winning status in the provincial/urban selections of the "Starlight Award" exhibition.
