Features: The basic color teaching at the Art College is designed to cultivate and train the ability to shape forms and organize color tones, enabling students to understand and master the general principles of color variation in still-life painting. It teaches students correct methods of color observation, helps them grasp the fundamental principles of color composition, and enhances their aesthetic awareness of color. Still-life painting is the primary way to train students in mastering the laws of color variation and improving their ability to model with color. During the teaching process, occasional written exercises are added to reinforce basic color knowledge. The teaching plan progresses from simple to complex and is designed to be gradual and systematic. In the first year, the focus is on solving color tone problems, while the second year emphasizes form modeling. In the third year, the focus is on portraiture and color expression, with short-term written exercises tailored to the basic requirements of the college entrance examination. Teachers should focus on research in teaching methods and tailor instruction to individual student needs. The overall plan and phased requirements are closely linked, and a scientific and reasonable design of topics and assignments is the fundamental guarantee for achieving teaching objectives. At the same time, it advocates and encourages teachers to actively explore and research in the classroom, fostering a vibrant teaching atmosphere in the Art College's specialized education.
