Features: Whenever I enter a bookstore and browse through the dazzling array of college entrance examination books, I am often overwhelmed and can't help but feel a desire to write this book. Based on my 20 years of teaching experience and the teaching requirements for college-level color foundation courses, I have shared some thoughts on college entrance examination color teaching for everyone's reference. This book is rich in illustrations and content, with a clear teaching structure, prominent features, and a progressive approach from simple to complex. It is not only suitable for color foundation teaching in various colleges and universities but also for self-study guidance for college entrance examination students. It can help students master a correct approach to tackling the college entrance examination in a relatively short time. As a teaching requirement for color foundation courses in higher art academies, it serves as a bridge connecting the past and the future for further studies.
Clarify the teaching approach and design the teaching content around the college entrance examination. The college entrance examination is a test of students' mastery of color fundamentals. By analyzing the content of the examination papers from major art academies in recent years, a series of requirements have been proposed for the teaching approach, methods, and content of this book, namely, how to teach and how to help students achieve excellent academic performance to realize their dreams. The content of this course (see Volume 1 and Volume 2) clearly points out the teaching principles of color, which should start with tone training, strengthen small sketch exercises, and allow students to truly grasp the essence of tone. It addresses observation, rendering, and methods, cultivating students' keen eyesight to capture the ever-changing colors, laying a foundation for later large-scale training. It also enhances technical expression training to enable students to master proficient techniques and achieve vivid color language. On this basis, further training in tone variation is strengthened to examine students' practical ability to manipulate tone variation. By analyzing the status of their work, students will develop unique skills, or solid "foundation."
After purposefully and systematically addressing the problems at each stage, the learning cycle is shortened, and a fast, efficient path to high scores is found. This is the purpose and significance of writing this book.
