Some of the students are arrogant, some have low self-esteem, some are narcissistic, some are gay, some are good at communication, some are rambling with teachers all day long, some are old fashioned, and some are ambitious and want to become famous. The teachers are also unreliable. A teacher spent 25 years drawing simple triangles, saying that he was the originator of triangles; a teacher was a serial killer who strangled people with ropes and then drew the expressions of the dead.
However, Teacher Triangle once said: in the future, perhaps only one of the hundreds of you can make a living by painting.
Well, the reality is like this, in China, this ratio is divided by 100.
The atmosphere of foreign art academies is much more relaxed than that of China. Students do not emphasize basic skills at all, unlike Chinese art academies, which have to conduct strict basic skills examinations. Foreign art academies can admit only by recommending and submitting works, and they can also get an A for drawing simple children's sketches, just like a policeman who sneaks into the class to be an undercover policeman, because he is handsome and has become famous artists. His daughter was easily recognized by everyone.
The protagonist JEROME has loved art since he was a child. He has solid basic skills and works very hard (but he has no talent and is far worse than Chinese children). He was ambitious to be admitted to art school to become the greatest artist. But things backfired. The cruel reality kept hitting his fragile heart. He watched helplessly as the girl he loved was picked up by an idiot who couldn't draw and gained both fame and fortune. A middle-aged, frustrated teacher goes to find solace, and the teacher is actually a serial killer painter the police have been looking for.
Famous artists also admit that they are shit assholes. Regarding what art is, he thinks it is a meaningless shit question. What students care about is how to become the next him? His answer was: the way to be a great artist is to find a way to be a great artist.
This answer is brilliant. What art is, it doesn't matter at all in today's society, what matters is that you have to have the means or shortcut to become an artist, no matter what means.
The result is ironic. The protagonist couldn't draw Mr. Killer's paintings because of his poor painting skills, so he bought all the works of Mr. Killer, made a simple collage, and put it on the students' after-school art exhibition. The police thought he was the murderer and sent him in. Prison, as the school murderer became famous, all his works also became popular all at once. And the killer teacher died in a fire. He did not deny that he was a murderer, but painted in prison and received constant visiting guests in the prison, finally realizing his dream of becoming a well-known artist.
The art academy is supposed to be the cradle of cultivating artists, but in fact, its role is only cultivating so-called artists who distort human nature, like some poisonous germs that eat away apples.
Art should be serious, sincere, noble, from the heart, explain human nature, and conform to the development process of human history. However, with the development of business development and the development of science and technology, the human nature has changed, and art has become indefinable and confused. When art is no longer high and unattainable, the charm of art is no longer there.
