Chen Danqing: Diploma is a mediocrity guarantee

My true identity is educated youth. My true level of education is high school graduation, and I have never been to high school.

The diploma is for mixed meals and has nothing to do with art. The employer wants a diploma because the first element of the unit is mediocrity. Diplomas are mediocre guarantees, they will never want Van Gogh.

The important artists in the world are not graduate students, nor are they undergraduate or affiliated schools. Some of them are not even in high school. Van Gogh is a patient and Picasso does not have a college degree. In today's China, you need a diploma. In order to be employed and recognized by the society, you have to get a diploma.

There are too many people who have been able to do something through the education of the small and medium-sized people. There are too many people who have achieved nothing in college education. "Education" and "achievement" should be proportional, not like this.

A truly effective education is self-education. I simply doubt the phrase "cultivating". Whoever raises Gao? Who raises Qi Baishi?

What is the history of real art, it is a large-scale elimination.

As soon as you are sure of your feelings, feelings are very valuable things. Drawing a moving picture is based on feelings, not skills. The little pilgrimage girl I painted was so bitter and so beautiful, but she didn’t know it – art was like this, and it was touched by this.

Preference, unknown, turbulent, semi-conscious, half-baked, I am afraid that painting is the best state of breakthrough.

The common sense is the foundation, the sketch is not the foundation, and the current sketch teaching is anti-common. Everything is important, but if you want to say that sketching is the most important, then it is not right. A tree, which branch can you say, which leaf is the most important?

I don't have a sketch foundation. Isn't it just like painting? Isn't Chinese traditional painting never drawing a sketch? Is there no foundation? I think that among the classmates we painted together, those who painted David's plaster image is unbeatable. I don't know where to go now.

Artists are born, and scholars are born. The meaning of "born" does not mean the so-called "genius", but means that he really has to do this thing, and nothing can stop him, so he has done it all the way and becomes the kind of person he wants to be.

The education I received from childhood was that "two-thirds of the world's people live in dire straits." Of course, one-third of them refer to the Chinese who live on the land of China. I really can't bear to enjoy the life of "shallow water" and "not hot". I decided to go abroad and "suffering" - I am sorry, I was back at the beginning of this year.

As soon as I came back, many Chinese colleagues in the United States were still worried and sincere in asking me: Adapting? Habits? Regret? That means, I am afraid that I will come back and suffer.

Chinese people are mostly used to being self-defeating and perfunctory, and I am the same. And the American artists I have seen are out of reach, and things that are extremely invested, serious, dead-hearted, and resilient, that is, the so-called perseverance, and excellence.

Compared with other people, the Chinese people are seriously ill and common. They are not doing things practically. They are not honest. They must be honest and honest. China is not without, only few, exceptions, losses, and inseparable.

Relaxing political restraint, slightly relaxing aesthetics, and creating a lot of creative patterns are prerequisites for cultural minimum. In the 1980s, a word was used, called "loose tie" - many words are true images, and they don't pay attention to them.

The rate of truth is a very high requirement. True rate is also a virtue.

Why do I like Lu Xun? He swears, struggles, does not buy accounts, and swears for a lifetime, but filial, kind, and soft. Some intellectuals and artists in the West are also very shocking, but private and simple. There are not many people like China, or they are shocked and unpopular. People are cute, but they have no bones or sharp edges.

It is simple to delete all kinds of superficial articles and strict measures in the current education system, but in four sentences: to treat children as adults and to treat adults as children; simple things are complicated, and complicated things are simplified.

I don't care much about the English of Chinese students. I saw everyone’s Chinese mess. Our tens of thousands of "good radishes" are not good in English today, and Chinese is not good.
