    Hand-drawing Master

              Sketching is a form of rapid drawing that serves as a crucial foundation for both traditional painting and practical design. It is also an independent form of artistic study and one of the best methods for training comprehensive modeling skills. Well-known artists such as Wu Guanzhong, Chen Danqing, and Shi Guoliang are all masters of sketching. In fields like architecture, industrial design, and fashion, sketching is the optimal way to quickly express ideas. It helps artists enhance their keen observational skills and collect materials for artistic creation. Through sketching, students can improve their hand-drawing skills, develop sharp observation and artistic perception, better express their creativity and ideas, and become more confident and communicative, thereby enhancing their overall artistic literacy.

              Our thoughtfully designed "Hand-drawing Master Growth Camp" will guide children in exploring the modeling principles of various subjects, including still life, landscapes, animals, and figures. Through diverse classroom training methods such as copying, sketching from life, three-view information diagrams, iPad digital drawing, memory creation, and appreciation of famous artworks, students will quickly capture the shapes and outlines of objects and better understand artistic knowledge and concepts like points, lines, planes, composition, proportion, structure, and space. Here, students will learn more scientific observation methods and modeling techniques, solve challenges in hand-drawing modeling, record life with their brushes, and develop good habits of observation and hand-drawing.

    Enjoy Reading and Performing

           Drawing on classical Chinese stories as our foundation, we ignite children's imagination by engaging them with captivating chapters from classic masterpieces such as Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, as well as meaningful idiomatic tales and simple yet profound classical stories. Through these, we guide students to deeply appreciate the charm of classical literature.

              Building on this foundation, we encourage students to actively participate in performances, transforming written texts into vivid stage plays. By writing, directing, and acting in their own productions, students integrate their personal understanding and creativity to reinterpret classic stories.

              In this process, students not only memorize famous lines but also bring the scenes from the page to life for their audience. This is both a way of learning from the classics and an effort to preserve them. Teachers, in their guidance, place special emphasis on the handling of performance details, helping students master effective expressive skills.

            Through such practical activities, students gain a deeper understanding and absorption of the learning content. They also enhance their appreciation and love for traditional Chinese culture, better equipping them to pass on the essence of Chinese cultural heritage.
