Chapter 48 Nobody likes exams three
What is a work of art?
In my mind, anything flashy can be called a work of art. The top work of art is just more gorgeous and more impractical.
When I was in the entrepreneurial stage, I also did art business, and the business targets were those members of the Middle East royal family who had too much money and had no place to spend. In their transactions, I understood that art is a huge profit among huge profits, which also gave me a certain favorable impression of art. Who doesn’t like money, and who doesn’t like a product that has a profit of dozens or hundreds of times?
Of course, it is impossible for ordinary searches to enter the eyes of the royal family in the Middle East.
So, what kind of thing is that people like who can't burn it even if they have too much money? For example, the master's original works, works highly praised by many masters, cultural relics that have been used for a long time and have stories and imitations that can be avoided.
These artworks have one thing in common, that is, their own meaning. If an artwork can make people feel that it is profound at the first glance, but cannot say what it is, then this artwork is not far from success.
And this is what my work wants to express.
A week was so long for me, because it took me only three days to conceive, fifteen minutes to find all the materials needed for my work, and in the end, I only took one minute to complete my work. And for the remaining days, I naturally did nothing in the bar and drank and fucked the guests.
When I finally submitted my work, I covered myself with black cloth and carefully brought my work to school. When I walked into the classroom, I suddenly felt like I was in the miscellaneous market. Various artworks made by students were displayed in various locations in the classroom, and the sound of showing off my works and the pride that my works were about to be favored by famous artists.
The noise suddenly calmed down the moment Rachel and a white-haired old man entered the classroom.
Rachel was very satisfied with her power and invited the old man to the podium with a respectful attitude. She spoke by herself: "A week has passed, and I believe that all the students have completed their works. Today I am honored to invite Mr. Crouch, the vice president of the Los Angeles Art Association and a senior arts person, to serve as the judge of this assessment. Everyone applauded and welcomed them." After saying that, Rachel was the first to applaud.
Although I didn't know that there was an art association in Los Angeles, and I didn't know which onion Crouch was, I still clapped. There was no way, everyone around me was clapping hard, and Rachel's eyes kept staring at me, and she couldn't explain it if she didn't pluck her palms for a while.
After the brief welcome ceremony, Rachel immediately got to the point.
The students below were as if they were waiting for the recruits to be reviewed by the general, waiting for Crouch's assessment with excitement. Crouch was also pretending to be full of airs and walked down from the podium with a swaying wave. Rachel followed him like a little follower.
Before passing through a work, Crouch will ask the owner of the work to briefly describe his concept of the work and the creation process.
When Crouch walked in front of a girl and asked her to comment on the oil painting she created, the girl had a red face and hesitated and said a word.
This girl has a little impression in my mind. I remember that last time I first arrived in this class, Qiao Yi introduced her to her, as if she was calling Colleen.
Colleen lowered her head and blushed. She originally thought that this exam was the same as before, and she just asked her to hand over the work and then scored it by professionals in the art world. So she also found good friends from the art department of some colleges like the previous exam. After paying a small fee, she asked her to draw a pair of oil paintings on her behalf. She never thought that this time, a professional would comment in person and asked herself to express her ideas on the work.
Since Colleen only brought the work from her friends today, after getting it, she rushed to school and took a quick look at the work. At this time, she asked her to express her creative ideas. I really wanted to make it up even if I couldn't make it up!
Rachel shook her head sighing from behind, it seemed that Colleen would definitely fail this exam.
This was just a small episode, and then Crouch and Rachel continued their work. When they walked to Qiao Yi's position, the two were obviously stunned. Qiao Yi's work was wrapped in a big white cloth, and they couldn't see what was inside. Before Crouch and Rachel asked questions, Qiao Yi automatically uncovered the white cloth.
Seeing Qiao Yi's work, the whole class was in an uproar. Rachel's face suddenly turned red and her eyes were even more closed. Crouch was so interested that he was forgetful.
Qiao Yi's work is a sculpture. The statue consists of a man and a woman. There is no thread on both of them. They are combined in the most primitive way of human beings. To put it bluntly, even if Qiao Yi is frozen on his sculpture at the moment of sexual intercourse, it is no wonder that Rachel blushed when she sees it.
What is commendable is that Qiao Yi's work is quite well carved. You can clearly see that the facial expressions of the two people are experiencing their happiness. The curves of the body are also very clear. It is impossible to tell that Qiao Yi is not good at theory, but she is still somewhat at the sculpture. Judging from the expressions of the old man Crouch, the expressions that are almost drooling, Qiao Yi's work has obviously touched him.
After a brief loss of consciousness, Crouch immediately woke up and coughed twice to hide his incompetence.
At this time, Qiao Yi could not wait to introduce his work, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with this work: "Mr. Crouch has also seen my work. It is obvious that the theme of this work is 'sex'. The reason why I use 'sex' as the theme is because 'sex' culture is an indispensable part of the development of historical and cultural history to this day. 'sex' is also an indispensable regulator in human daily life, and it is also a supreme manifestation of human thoughts and feelings." When saying this, a very sacred expression appeared on Qiao Yi's face. Could it be that I was dazzled?
What's even more amazing is that Qiao Yi's sculpture can be opened, and the middle part of the statue is empty. When Qiao Yi opened the statue, I found that there was a small statue in the middle. I looked at it with my eyes and saw clearly that it was a baby's statue. The baby was curled up and sucked his thumb with his little mouth, and he looked very cute.
Qiao Yi's voice sounded again: "Life starts here, and the world starts here!"
As soon as Qiao Yi's words fell, a thunderous applause sounded in the classroom, and of course I also expressed my appreciation for Qiao Yi through applause. Qiao Yi is worthy of being an American born and raised in the United States. The American spirit in her stock made him accept the applause without any modesty, and it can be seen that he enjoys such treatment. For art practitioners, his works are recognized by others, which is his greatest honor.
After reading Qiao Yi's works, the works that followed appear to be a bit old-fashioned and dull.
Soon, Crouch and Rachel walked up to me. My works were wrapped in cloth like Joy, the difference was that I used black cloth. From the outside, my works were a sphere. The black cloth made it look so mysterious and imaginative.
When Rachel was curiously preparing to uncover the black cloth, I stopped her: "Teacher Rachel, a black cloth is also part of my work. Please be careful when uncovering the black cloth. I think it is better to ask Mr. Crouch to compare my work. What do you think?"
My words made Rachel angry: Bad boy, you really match me. What's so great about your work? He even played a big name with me. Who cares about your things? Humph! But Rachel didn't do anything to me. Who told her to say in advance that today's judge was Mr. Crouch.
