Title: My Classmate Mr. Man Xinjian and I Found a Daily Chinese Painting Party on Nov 15, 2014
Artist:
Size:
Completed Time: Nov 15, 2014
Remarks:

In the lesson Nov 15, 2014, Professor Man Weiqi -- the Deputy Dean of Chinese School at China Central Academy of Arts told us, the best method to improve our painting skill is to take part in the Chinese Painting Party -- A group of artists paint together on the public occasion within a limited time. Then, in the evening, I mentioned to a classmate Mr. Man Xinjian who often paints in the classroom to found a Daily Chinese Painting Party, and he quite admired my idea.

Then, both of us started the job first time on the same evening.

Since then, every evening, at 8:45p.m. - 9:45p.m. a group of students come to our classroom to create a picture and then we commented the pictures each other until 10:00p.m. or 10:20 p.m.

Even though sometimes, we were locked into the building, we have made much progress.

For making the Chinese Painting Party to live for along time, I made some rules and they are working well:

1) Every one must paint a picture on a piece of paper that can not be less than 68cm x 68cm (26.77inches x 26.77inches ) or 36.00cm x 138.00cm ( 14.17 inches x 54.33 inches)within 1 hour; if anyone does not finish it at the end time, must stop. If any one completes it, starts another one.

2) Do not allow draft with pencil, but paint with brush on the paper directly.

3) Do not allow to see any data, but paint on the white paper;

4) Every one must comment the others' pictures, to point out of the good or bad places.

The purpose is: To improve our ability of creating quickly; to reach the level to be able to create a good picture as soon as we take up a brush at any place, at time within the shortest time.

Since Nov 15 to Nov 22, 17 schoolmates and 40 person-times joined us at the different time.
