Besides, the brush-ink skills are quite important in Chinese painting. Young learners have to learn from artists of the former generation while mastering all required basic skills, for the old painters’ brush-ink skills and patriotism emotions all follow up the times and truly reflects art of the times. The time has created the older generation of painters, and their works also reflect the humanistic spirit of the times. They represent a time. Therefore, young learners shall carefully appreciate and learn from personalities and academy of the older generation of painters.
Art comes from life and also reflects life. Therefore, young learners cannot get separated from life while pursuing art. They need to get rooted into life and feel constructors and laborers in social development, and be good at detecting the true, the good and the beautiful in life, for all these are important elements of art. The beauty detected in life can nourish art and promote constant improvement of skills, thus enhancing cultural realm and constantly pushing forward brush-ink skills and field of vision.
