“艺术生嘛，只要学好画画就可以啦！”

真的是这样吗？

随着时代的发展，艺术与各学科的边界已变得越来越模糊。艺术，作为一种工具与表达方式，在其他领域依然可以大展身手，给予世界无限可能。与之相应的，艺术生的学习也不再只是学好画画这么简单，释放创造力需要多个学科的协作和知识。

为此，我们开启「斜杠艺术生」系列文章，向大家展现艺术生身上的斜杠才能，揭下艺术生身上的印象标签，探索艺术学习的多维世界。

11月，上海耀华古北校区进行了本学期最大规模的一次Field Trip艺术研学，全校师生前往了UCCA尤伦斯当代艺术中心，参观「Matisse by Matisse 马蒂斯的马蒂斯」大型艺术展览。

置身艺术中心，我们带领学生进行艺术家调研、现场速写创作、摄影记录；回到校园，我邀请学生进行中英文写作练习、艺术技法实验工作坊……看似仅是踏出了一次校门，学生们得到的锻炼和提升实则是多方面的。我们将分成多篇文章，与您分享同学们的研学活动回顾与成果。

本篇，让我们带大家认识艺术生不可缺少的技能之一——写作。我们向全校同学展开了「马蒂斯艺术展观展感悟」征文活动，邀请同学们通过英文或中文文字记录下研学的所学所想，并挑选了部分学生的精彩作文进行发布。

如果你也看过这场最近超火的马蒂斯艺术展，希望同学们文字下渗透出的创作者角度思考，也能带给你对艺术大师马蒂斯的新理解与看法。

We went to the exhibition of Matisse at UCCA edge in the afternoon of 8th, Nov with classmates. There are three floors for this exhibition. From works on first floor, I knew about Matisse’s experience of learning art. At first his tried different medias like sculpture, stamping, then he also drew many paintings and sketches. From these drawings, I can tell that he has very steady foundation that supports him to create a variety of styles.

Among all the masterpieces, I especially like his live drawings. The lines seem to be very simple yet coherent, which clearly show the movement of subjects. It’s mainly because his sketches has many curves and straight parts to balance the whole movement. The change of thickness of the lines were also very detailed. Like when the part is facing dark, the line would be thicker; when the part is details on the body, the line would be fine and thin.

Moreover, Matisse can also draw body with texture really well. During the time I studied his works, I did some imitations of his live drawings and felt his catching of the movement is really natural. By analyzing his live drawings, I can learn many important skills and know where should I improve to get better.

What also impressed me from the exhibition was the part when Matisse started trying cutting-paper as prints on second floor were also remarkable. I can tell it’s an

innovative way of art. The cutting edge left after printing makes it looks natural and most of them used pretty bright colors.

On the other hand, I found that Matisse was good at observing his life and surroundings. He created many objects he met into forms of art. For example, when he went to a lake, he created two big drawings to describe the landscape he saw from the lake up to the sky. For me, I think is an important element that I should learn from, which means to get inspiration everywhere in my daily life.

This field trip with the school is the exhibition of Matisse's Matisse at the UCA Art Museum in Shanghai.

Most of the students and teachers participated in this field trip. In today's exhibition, Matisse‘s manuscripts and line manuscripts are relatively large, and there are not many representative works. I saw that it was interesting. For example, there is a chapter in the exhibition that is Matisse’s book illustrations that I didn't notice before. Most of the portraits in these illustrations only talk a few strokes, but capture the charm of the characters. I saw that some friends who watched the exhibition were imitating these expressions, which was very interesting. Matisse drew a group of "Three Heads, To Friendship", which refers to Matisse and his friend, the French surrealist poet Gium Apollinaire and the French writer Andre Rouville. But I don't know why, when I look at this group of paintings, the friendship story of crosstalk actor Guo Degang "entrusting his wife and children" always comes to my mind. When Matisse was designing the Vance Chapel, he drew a draft of the Standing Virgin and Child, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt. Another gain is that I have the impression that Tasiti belongs to Gaug. This time I saw the exhibition and found that it also belongs to Matisse. In the chapter of Matisse and Fabrics, we learned that the Matisse family has lived in the Lecato-Cambrezi area for more than 300 years and has been engaged in the textile industry for generations. These exquisite fabrics have an important influence on Matisse's later creation, and Matisse also has a rich textile collection. I like this pair of "Woman in a Blue Gondola Robe" and the tapestry "Woman Playing Lute".

This exhibition made me feel the painting-face change of the master very intuitively. I think there is something in common between children and the master. Children's painting is very pure. He doesn't have many so-called painting skills and painting theories. They just use brushes to draw their eyes or inner world. I think the master is looking at thousands of worlds, constantly trying, constantly practicing, constantly thinking, constantly learning, constantly abandoning, and finally returning to innocence.

During our recent school field trip, the entire school had the opportunity to visit the "Matisse by Matisse" exhibition at UCCA Edge in the afternoon. I believe that this exhibition was beneficial for our students, it provided us with inspiration and allow us to learn new techniques. Even though Matisse is a famous artist, and his works can be viewed online, the short-distance visit provided us opportunity to observe details in texture, and media, that we would have missed.

Personally, I found the exhibition could be helpful for my recent work. I’m able to gain inspiration from the artworks, gaining insights into material selection, sculpture building strategies, and artwork expression. One of the most significant techniques I learned from the exhibition was related to sketching. As I have been struggling with proportion and the muscle of the human body, I’m attracted by the sketches on display.

I realized that Matisse had divided his sketches into two categories based on the amount of time spent on them. His short-term sketches seem simple but with extremely flexible lines, which is overall unity in the complete artwork. On his long-term sketches there are detailed skin textures, smooth muscle trends, and natural flow. I could learn various techniques from both types of sketches, and I plan to use these strategies into both my current and future works.

November 8th, I went to the exhibition called “Matisse by Matisse” with the school.

One thing that I feel that the art gallery has been creative is by putting many of these quotes on the wall. One quote that I really like is : “drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence.” I totally agree with this opinion, that makes me to think of my work. I start to question myself, is the art I am creating now having this amount of expression? Do my work marks in audience’s heart? On the other hand, Matisse claims his ideas like jokes in his quotes. “My curves are not crazy”, many abstract artists are trying to prove themselves to the world that they are also artists. By looking at Matisse’s work, I would say that he is an artist with superior consciousness.

Talking about my component three, Matisse could be a perfect artist to reference. He has a unique perspective while painting, this is one of things what I am lacking right now. Just like what I have mentioned in my previous paragraph, he makes me to reflect on the value of my work. I could possibly do artist copies on some of Matisse’s black and white works. Personally, I feel Matisse’s lines build up his style. I love the way how he analyzes both humans and objects in a simplified way.

By knowing the full concept of Matisse, I would say that he is successful. He is the master of using color and expression, but most importantly, being the first man that starts draughtsmanship. Starting a new type of art requires a lot of bravery, this is something that I should intake the most. In my lifetime, I shouldn’t be too concerned on how others think I am, because they don’t know me enough.

当我看到这幅画的时候，我仿佛被吸入了一种既熟悉又陌生的世界。那是一幅马蒂斯的作品，他以其独特的色彩运用和形式感引领了我踏入他的艺术世界。

画布中央，一位女子翩翩起舞身姿摇曳，她的身体曲线流畅而优雅，如同一篇无声的诗集。她的裙摆在画中划出一道美轮美奂的弧线，似乎在跳动生命的节奏。她的脸上洋溢着纯真和快乐，那是对生活对艺术的热爱和追求。画作的背景是由鲜艳的色块拼接而成，深红，靓黄，水蓝，青绿，每一种颜色都充满了力量活力。马蒂斯的笔触大胆而自由，色彩是他的五官，用来表达他的思想和情感。他的色彩不再仅仅是描绘物体的工具，而变成了表达内心世界的媒介。每每望向这块画布，我的心中都会泛起丝丝涟漪。它让艺术的力量进入我的体内，使我明白生活虽然充满了困难与挑战但只要心中有热爱，眼中有高光，便能像画中的女子一般，舞动生命，享受生活。

可以发现，马蒂斯艺术展研学是一次精彩且充实的体验，不少学生观察到了马蒂斯不专注于人体解剖的准确性，而是通过线条个性和特征传达内在，这是他们非常有洞察力的表现。
