Features: Sketching and color have long been the main subjects for entrance exams in art colleges in China. In recent years, they have also been included as part of quality-oriented education for adolescents and are listed as important subjects for painting proficiency exams. Modern art college exams differ from the traditional single-mode drawing-based approach, incorporating memory drawing, imaginative drawing, and assigned themes, making the exams more focused on students' foundational training and creative thinking. Sketching places greater emphasis on students' mastery and expression of form and structure, while color emphasizes the analysis and understanding of color relationships. The authors of this series of textbooks are experienced teachers who have worked in art education for many years. They are familiar with the new trends and requirements of current art education, as well as the general desires and needs of students. Therefore, in the writing process, they have adhered to the principle of applying knowledge in practice, making the series highly targeted. This allows students to improve their skills and techniques while also gaining the necessary theoretical knowledge, achieving twice the result with half the effort.
This series of textbooks also includes a selection of outstanding student works, most of whom have passed exams and entered secondary art schools or higher education institutions. These works vary in style and quality, providing students with multi-angle and multi-faceted inspiration, guiding them from beginner to advanced levels. These are the key features of this series.
The series is divided into two parts—sketching and color—with a total of five books:
1. Sketching: Geometric Shapes, Facial Features, Half-Face Portraits
2. Sketching: Still Life
3. Sketching: Plaster Casts
4. Sketching: Portraits
5. Color: Still Life
Each book includes step-by-step drawing instructions, sample artworks, and simple textual explanations, making it suitable for beginners and exam candidates to practice and study. It is especially helpful for students' intensive training before exams.
