Features: The Art Entrance Exam Intensive Training Guide is a set of pre-exam simulation training materials. Its purpose is to closely align with the basic requirements of the exam, and the selected sample artworks are therefore distinct from common master copies. The guide's proposition-style table of contents gives readers a strong sense of being in the exam hall. These propositions are typical exam questions from art schools over the years, accompanied by key points for reference. The compilers of this guide are all professional teachers from art schools, with long-term experience in teaching and coaching art students for the entrance exam. They deeply understand the needs and mindset of candidates. The sample artworks include some works used by the compilers during teaching and others by renowned artists. Therefore, this guide serves as a valuable reference for candidates in copying and learning.
The outstanding French Romanticism master Delacroix once said: "Copying can help talented individuals achieve success with ease." This book not only provides works for copying but also vividly introduces the correct, scientific, and comprehensive pre-exam training methods. It should be a combination of basic skill training, improvement in sketching artistry, and aesthetic awareness; long-term, mid-term, and short-term training; drawing from life, copying, and memory drawing; and observing and memorizing. It must be emphasized that copying excellent works is not about replicating a painting but about using this method to understand various sketching techniques and styles, recognize the artistic principles of drawing, and strive to grasp the essence and artistic laws of sketching.
This book is designed based on actual exam conditions. The plaster portraits selected in the book frequently appear in the entrance exam papers of art schools over the years. During pre-exam training, readers can use direct copying to familiarize themselves with the characteristics of these plaster portraits. Alternatively, they can adopt similar angles and lighting as the works for life drawing. Through comparison and contrast, they can more quickly master the techniques of life drawing and achieve outstanding results in the exam.
