Chinese Landscape Course ——Research of Brush Strokes （By studies of Huang Gongwang’s and Ni Zan’s works）
黄公望《快雪时晴图》
Huang Gongwang Kuai Xue Shi Qing Tu
课程目标
本课程以元代黄公望《快雪时晴图》和倪瓒《古木幽篁图》入手，结合黄宾虹先生“五笔”——对用笔的五个要求，进行中国画用笔的示范与讲解，让学生了解如何使用和控制毛笔，如何画出“好”的线；同时通过历代不同的作品，让学生对用笔的丰富性建立起一个基本的认识；在讲解中，对应现实生活，让学生理解如何从自然中读取笔法。通过这期课程，学生将理解为什么骨法用笔在六法中位列第二，为什么说没有笔墨就没有中国画。
Course Objectives
This course uses Yuan artists, Huang Gongwang’s “Kuai Xue Shi Qing Tu” and Ni Zan’s “Gu Mu Yo Huang Tu” paintings as models, in combination with modern artist Huang Binhong’s “five standards of strokes”, the five requirements for proper brush use. Through demonstration and explanation, students will understand how to use and control the brush, draw a “good” stroke, and through study of different works of previous generations, will gain a basic understanding and appreciation for the potential richness of well executed strokes. In the discussion relating to life observation, students will learn how to read nature to find and create lifelike strokes. Secondly, in this course, students will learn that unless one understands bone strokes as described in the Six Laws (Liu Fa), one will not fully appreciate the nuances of Chinese painting until one fully comprehends the breadth and complexities of strokes and ink.
