Since its inception, the International College of the China Academy of Art has always placed importance on the instruction of and exchange regarding Chinese traditional arts. Chinese Mountain Water (Shan Shui) Painting represents a central discipline in the breadth of Chinese cultural arts and thinking. The realm in which the art of Chinese Mountain Water (Shan Shui) Painting seeks to attain, reflects, precisely, Chinese culture's reverence toward nature and ultimate humanistic concern to achieve harmony with the world around oneself. Mountain Water painting's spiritual practice seeks to elevate the value of the individual life to a state that is one with "Heaven and Earth" and the forces of the universe that be. In addition, the practice of Mountain Water (Shun Shui) Painting also aims to help each individual to experience a state of inner peace, clarity and happiness. Thus it can be sure that, as an art form, the study and experience of Chinese Mountain Water (Shan Shui) painting and its consciousness provides a crucial key to understanding the greater depth that lies within traditional Chinese culture and art.

中国美院国际教育学院自建院以来，一直重视中国传统文化艺术的学术教学与交流。中国山水画作为中国文化艺术与思想的集中体现，它所追求的艺术境界正是中国人崇尚自然与和谐的人文关怀的终极诉求，它背后的“山水精神”将个人生命的价值升华到与天地造化同功的境界，同时也把个人的人生体验引向一种无有烦恼与压力、头脑清明、身心愉悦的境地。相信在艺术领域，对山水画与山水精神的学习与体验将是一把开启中国传统文化与艺术之路的金钥匙。

 

In order to gain a proper understanding and grasp of Chinese Mountain Water Painting and its artistic concerns/consciousness, an individual requires relevant theoretical guidance and focused practical training. In light of this, the International College of the China Academy of Art will offer specialized courses geared towards both beginners and intermediate/advanced students in the discipline of Chinese Mountain Water (Shan Shui) Painting. Courses will include, "The Emulation of Various Rock and Tree Painting Methods","Foundational Methods of Creating Original Works", "Life-Drawing (Xie Sheng)", and "Creating Original Works, a Specialized Course". Through the intensive study and exploration of ancient classical works of Chinese Mountain Water Painting, these courses will help students to achieve a proper understanding and solid grasp of the spiritual essence of Chinese Mountain Water (Shan Shui) Painting, using its consciousness as a way of edification and nourishment. This curriculum hopes to help each student open up new avenues of thought and awareness in his/her own artistic practice, and to plant a seed in each student’s future artistic endeavors that reflects a pure and honest connection to Chinese culture.

 

正确理解与把握中国山水画的艺术诉求需要有相对规范的理论指导与具有针对性的实践训练。有鉴于此，中国美院国际教育学院开设中国山水画树石临摹与创作基础课程班，和中国山水画写生与创作精品课程班，分别针对无基础和一定基础的习画者。旨在通过对古代山水画经典作品的深入研习及互动写生，以期达到准确理解与把握中国山水画本体精神，在以“山水)”为导向的文化土壤里得到启迪与滋养，并在学生今后个人艺术创作生涯中播种下纯正的中国文化的种子，为其艺术创作开辟新的创作思路与方向。

 

 

 

1. Chinese Mountain Water (Shan Shui) Rock and Tree Emulation and Fundamentals for Creating Original Works Course (Short-Term)

 

1. 中国山水画树石临摹与创作基础课程班（短期）

 

Course Description:

Chinese Mountain Water (Shan Shui) Painting, uses special principles that integrate the use of the brush and ink, spacial arrangement and composition to form a unique "perspective" that allows for the individual to respond to and articulate the endless variation/dynamism found in reality and the natural world. These methods and principals of Mountain Water (Shan Shui) Painting have been passed on throughout history, have evolved and have continued for over one-thousand years to remain a vital discipline full of energy. Mountain Water (Shan Shui) Painting's content and substance is rich and vast. It represents a treasure-trove of ancient wisdom in the history of painting. Further, its form is one of China’s unique contributions to the history of man, painting and art. The seminal qualities of, "Being able to wonder through" (You) a painting, "Being able to live inside" (Ju) a painting, are simultaneously achieved through methodical combination and arrangement, one tree and one rock at a time. Further, the methods of painting rocks and trees are Chinese Mountain Water painting's foundational subjects, of which all beginners must gain solid understanding. These methods are also the most effective points of entry into the practice of Mountain Water (Shan Shui) Painting. The methods of painting rocks and trees are not only in themselves high expressions of painting, they also serve as the building blocks for creating more complex, finished works of Mountain Water (Shan Shui) Painting. The most immediate/direct way of studying such methods is through the emulation of classical examples. Secondly, one must also gain understanding of the unique form of “Perspective" and or "Way of seeing" that is used in Mountain Water painting and apply it through practice.  

 

课程说明：中国山水画通过特有的笔墨结构与空间布置法则构成山水画独有“视角”来应对现实世界中无限变化的自然与世界。这套山水画体系在历史上传承、衍变、生发延绵千余年，至今依旧充满活力，其内容丰富而博大，是绘画艺术的宝库，也是中国绘画对世界绘画的独特贡献之一。可游可居的山水画作品皆是由一树一石组合而成。树石法是山水画的入门基础科目，也是进入“山水画”这一领域的最有效的途径，它不但能够独立成为意境高远的山水画作品，更是通向结构更加复杂的山水画作品的阶梯。学习树石法最直接的途径首先就是临摹经典，再者又要了解与学习山水画独特的“视角”，并加以实践()应用。

 

Course Objective:

 

Through the research and study of ancient classical examples of painting rocks and trees found in Chinese painting, students are expected to gain a grasp of and show proficiency in the use of one particular type of rock and tree painting method of their choice. Students will be expected to independently complete one finished work, emulating an example of a classical Mountain Water (Shan Shui) painting. Students will also be expected to gain a preliminary understanding of the system used in constructing a work of (Shan Shui) painting and its way of thinking.

 

课程目标：通过研习古代经典树石作品，能够掌握一家的树石画法并熟练运用，能够独立完成一张山水作品的临摹，并初步了解山水画艺术的系统构建方式与思维启迪的途径。

2. 中国山水画写生与创作精品课程班（中期）

 

2. Chinese Mountain Water (Shan Shui) Painting Life Drawing (Xie Sheng) and Creation of Original Works, Specialized Course (Mid-Length Course)

 

 

Course Description:

 

This course is geared towards more advanced level students of Chinese painting. Chinese Mountain Water Painting’s central philosophy and aim is “Learning from nature, and attaining clarity within the self”. In this regard, Mountain Water Painting’s practice of life drawing (Xie Sheng) naturally teaches principles helpful for understanding the exterior world and being able to clearly perceive nature's complexity. Chinese Mountain Water painting’s method of drawing from life differs from that used in Western landscape painting, which oftentimes only chooses one point of perspective of a landscape to be represented. In contrast, Chinese Mountain Water Painting uses a unique “perspective” or “way of seeing”  that employs concepts of “seeing small in big” and “seeing big through small ” as well as the use of a “moving perspective”, in which the elements within one’s vantage point may be added to or subtracted from, and or rearranged as needed in order to more efficiently and rationally present the conditions of the given environment or realm being painted. Familiarity with Mountain Water Painting’s method of life drawing is helpful in giving students a deeper understanding of traditional Chinese Mountain Water Painting’s modes of construction and spiritual objective. Life drawing is also a helpful tool in finding references or raw materials  that can later be expanded and used in the creation of original finished works. In summery, life drawing (Xie Sheng) provides an ultimate source of direct inspiration and motivation in the creation of original works of Chinese Mountain Water Painting.

 

课程说明：本课程需要学生有一定的山水画基础。中国山水画以“外师造化，中得心源”为宗旨，山水画的写生自然是画者认识世界与体味自然的必要功课。山水画的写生根本区别于风景画的取景方式，是以其独有的山水画观法为视角，用“以大观小”、“ 以小观大”、“ 移步换景”等的思维模式从自然中自由索取素材，并以山水画树石结构为基础，灵活且理性地应对自然世界的图像表达。熟悉山水画的写生方法对学生正确理解传统中国山水画的构建方式及精神诉求有极大的帮助，同时也是创作过程中获取内容素材、拓展表达素材的必不可少的方式。由写生所激发的创作灵感与意图将是山水画创作的重要起点与必经过程。

 

 

Course Objective:

Through detailed lectures on Chinese Mountain Water (Shan Shui) Painting’s “Methods of observation”, building on the foundational methods of painting rocks and trees, this course will incorporate actual Mountain Water life drawing practice, and will aim to enhance each student's abilities to effectively utilize the techniques of Mountain Water Painting and understand their deeper spiritual significance. Through practice, students will also expand upon and enrich their ability to use the brush and ink in the creation of works. Upon completion of this course, each student will be required to complete at least two (2) finished works based on the life drawings which they have collected during the time of class and incorporate his/her experience of life drawing methods in the creation of new works of Mountain Water Painting.

 

课程目标：旨在通过讲解山水画特有的“观法”要旨，结合对真实山水的写生，在树石基础上进一步加强对山水画与山水精神的理解与灵活变通的应用能力，以及在实践中拓展笔墨表现力与丰富性。课程结束要求学生有两张或两张以上完整的写生作品。并结合写生经验完成山水画创作过程，并形成作品。
